09/11/2021 Amouranth NFT Selling for Ridiculous Amount of Money

An NFT bearing the likeness of popular Twitch streamer Amouranth is selling for a ridiculous amount of money at auction.

For years, Amouranth has been one of the most popularTwitchstreamers on the entire platform, and it doesn't look like her popularity is going to wane anytime soon. Amouranth is making a ton of money offTwitch, as confirmed by the recent Twitch data leaks, but she has a rather diversified income stream. She's one of the people to get in on the NFT (non-fungible token) craze, and now an NFT of her likeness is going for a ridiculous amount of money in an online auction.

The bidding for the Amouranth NFT has surpassed $125,000 at the time of this writing, which is impressive, to say the least.Amouranthtweeted out her reaction to the bidding, saying "I guess I'll be doing this again," indicating that there will almost certainly be more Amouranth NFTs sold at later dates. Of course, it's possible that the people bidding on the Amouranth NFT aren't doing so legitimately, but if the bids are real, it will be huge for the Twitch streamer.

For those who don't knowwhat NFTs are, they are oftentimes digital art pieces that people pay to own the original license for. So while anyone could simply click on Amouranth's tweet and save the image, they wouldn't have the license to prove their ownership of it. NFTs have become increasingly popular these past couple of years, alongside cryptocurrencies, and it will definitely be interesting to see if they continue to take off as they have been recently.

In any case, if this Amouranth NFT auction is legitimate, it seems that the Twitch star won't have trouble making ends meet if any of her bans ever stick.Amouranth has been banned from Twitchon numerous occasions for a variety of reasons, though she has always been allowed to return to the streaming platform afterwards. There was some concern that the latest Amouranth ban was going to be permanent, but after a few days, she was able to hop back on and continue making content.

Whenever Amouranth is on Twitch, she is consistently one of the most popular content creators on the streaming site. Recently,Twitch introduced a new IRL categorycalled Animals, Aquariums, and Zoos, and Amouranth immediately became its top streamer. This was thanks to Amouranth's ranch streams where she legitimately shows animals.

In the meantime, one has to wonder ifother top Twitch streamerswill try to get in on the NFT action as well, now that Amouranth's NFT has reached such a high price at auction.

Alex in Wonderland
A figure, Alex, stands mostly naked in the midst of a physical and psychological maelstrom. He is clad only in nostalgic 80’s era socks, on a tenuous island between active waters and a variety of shark denizens. Sharks on the right side of the image are all beached, including a shark with a quartz crystal snout, an orange shark wrapped in a life buoy, and a shark further in the distance wearing an 80’s style shirt with the number “88”. On the left side is the largest shark, wearing bright glossy red lipstick and brandishing prominent teeth with braces. She is cordoned off from the figure by a roped float divider, and within her thought bubble is a warning symbol. Behind the figure, hovering in the air, are Grey aliens emerging from the distance, out of a series of elliptical UFO shaped interdimensional membranes. The Greys take on the visual form of spermazoa ostensibly impregnating the interdimensional thresholds. As is typical, these Greys inhabit a zone just behind the unconscious topology of Alex’s dissociative mind. Though Alex’s bottom half is representative, his top half mutates into a psychological cornucopia. In a manner akin to “Auto-Erotic Sphinx”, a predecessor work, the figure has self suctioned—an act of sensual infatuation, enjoyment, and exploration. Upward exists the figure’s primary conscious eye, adorned with a revolutionary beret emblazoned with a Bitcoin badge. The figure’s summit features the nose of a fighter jet facing off against video game Bullet Bills, one of whom is marked by a communist North Korean star. A cropped section of a UFO observes the contest. Alex’s mind branches both left and right. To the left is more singular embodied consciousness, manifesting two eyes and a Ganesh trunk grasping crayons. The right branch dissociates upward diagonally, emerging into an array of eyes, faces, teeth, tail, a unicorn horn, and much more—all of which participate in expressing his unconscious being; a democracy of psychic factions representing thought impressions and associations. All illumination and darkness– fernal, infernal, high consciousness and corporeal underbelly–reside in this realm. In the distance are relatively languid, light clouds, and against the firmament hovers a colossal distant eye peering over the scene and far beyond. This painting possesses underlying genetic traits with previous works such as “Auto-Erotic Sphinx with Toys”, “Dionysus”, and “Fuku-Shiva”. The work serves also as a nod to an earlier period of art inspiration during late teens and early twenties— born out of the nakedness, vulnerability, curiosity, and wonder inherent to coming of age and all subsequent psychedelic revelation.

LIMITED EDITION 1/1 | includes signed limited edition prints of all 3 states (pre-election, Trump win, Biden win) This piece is a first for Nifty, a token that will change based on the outcome of the election. If anything is constant about the times we now live in, it's uncertainty. This uncertainty is perfectly encapsulated in this piece of artwork as the person buying the piece will not know the final artwork. The artwork will be one state at auction before the election, and after the results of the election are known, will forever change to reflect a Trump or Biden win. PLEASE FUCKING NOTE: If trump wins, this token will change to that video of sexy boi king trump stomping through hell FOREVER. I don’t want you coming back to me bitching that you spent $2M* on this and now it’s a video of orangeman going HAM and it’s keeping u up at night popping mad boners. should have voted bruh. *and stfu that this isn’t gonna be worth a fuckton more when I hit 30 years of everydays and have a permanent collection in the MOMA. smh.
