What is your value at the workplace? NFTs might have the answer
It is critical to find the right 'buyer' - individuals who value us for who we are, and whom we want to engage with - at the workplace.
THE recent surge in popularity of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) has fostered diverse conversations across many segments of society. Some are bullish on these digital assets that are non-interchangeable and stored on a blockchain, leading to the growth of an industry from US$100 million in 2020 to US$41 billion in 2021, reaching near-comparable levels to the conventional art market. Others are less excited, calling NFTs elitist, encouragement for bad art and environmentally unfriendly.
While nascent technologies are prone to drawing polarising views (for example, in the early 2010s when Facebook was criticised for enabling stalking as compared to growing social capital), there are valuable career lessons that each of us can learn from the rise of NFTs, regardless of our stance.
