MADISON, Wis., Aug. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- VNM USA reveals a report from NFTQT.com called The NFT Whale Directory: 50+ Top NFT Buyers & Whales. The directory compiles the biggest spenders in NFTs, making it easier to follow the NFT trends that whales are setting.

"We started The NFT Whale Directory purely out of interest. I kept seeing the same usernames buying up high priced pieces and wanted some way to track this activity. The NFT Whale Directory compiles links to their collections, notable purchases, and social media. It puts a face to the name of all the multi-million-dollar NFT sales that have made headlines," said Ryan Cowdrey, Chief Editor at NFTQT.com

"99% of us wouldn't be collecting NFTs if it weren't for the NFT Whales. They brought mass attention to NFTs with their big purchases. They demonstrated that there is value in a digital file. And everyday they create markets for lesser-known NFT projects. We owe gratitude to the NFT Whales and I think the directory is a start," said QuHarrison Terry, author of The NFT Handbook.

The criteria for making it into The NFT Whale Directory is either having purchased an NFT listed on the Top 100 NFT Sales of All Time or an NFT collection valued above $500,000.

If there's someone you think is a whale but not featured in the directory, then you can submit an addition to The NFT Whale Directory here: https://inevitab.ly/whales

Creative Challenge - 0xCert Collaboration
Cypher::Prophet
Cypher::Prophet is an artwork dedicated to the punk origins of blockchain designed and realized by hackatao and hex6c. In the transposition into images we started from the iconographic canons of the hacker (hoodie, laptop, cryptographic elements) and associated them with the figure of the prophet, thus highlighting the predictive nature of the works of Eric Hughes (Cypherpunk Manifesto, 1988) and Timothy C. May (Crypto Anarchist Manifesto, 1993) as well as of the blockchain inventors Stuart Haber and Scott Stornetta (How to Time-Stamp a Digital Document, The Journal of Cryptography, 1991).

Who Is The Creator 2
The idea for this piece was borne out of a tweet of mine that caused a bit of a stir. I’d posted a link to a blog article I’d written a number of months previous titled ‘Who is the Creator’ discussing various types of creative collaborations and why I hire people to work on my animations. It generated a lot of debate around creation and attribution with the community split on whether it’s right or wrong for an artist to hire other professionals to help them realize their art projects. I decided to push the boundaries even further and see how the cryptoart community responded. What if I quite literally had nothing to do with the physical or digital elements of the work other than coming up with the concept and coordinating it? I decided there was one artist in the space who could add huge value to this idea on levels that none other could and so I gathered my courage and contacted the great José Delbo to ask him if he’d be interested in a very unique collaboration. I explained to him that to make this piece ‘work’ he couldn't have any say in what I produced and moreover, he wouldn’t even be allowed to see the animation until it was dropped on MakersPlace. To my surprise, Mr Delbo agreed to my proposal. The animation tells the story of the creative process, which includes my roles as writer, director, and producer working with a team and making edits and changes ‘in real time’. The dialogue between myself and my ‘hired guns’ plays out in front of the viewer. The music written for the piece adds to the nostalgia of the comic book superhero theme but other elements such as the snapping and kicking of the pencil and the signing of my signature at the bottom incorporates further layers and challenges the viewer to ask important questions, such as, is the ‘Art’ the final animation (the creation) or is the ‘Art’ the concept/credit for the creation itself?
