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.

The Harvest
An anthropomorphic figure stands, wide eyed, staring at the viewer; its body masculine, muscular, and humanoid. Its “mind” dissociates into a conglomerate of structures resembling feathers, grain, teeth–as well as a radial flower “node”, casting linear rays throughout the composition. To his left, a vat of bodies gesture and writhe in a kind of amniotic soup, attended by a video game robot. The bot's red display reads “uWu”. Behind the robot and filling the left side of the composition is an archaic figure composed of a variety of vintage objects and symbols. Among them are a hardbound book with ancient cuneiform scripts, indicating barley, beer, bread, ox, house, and sky, behind which is a grimacing, salivating jagged toothed maw; and an old Commodore floppy drive. The figure’s head tilts toward an illuminated crescent moon, suggesting the Egyptian Sacred Bull. The archaic figure is composed of a variety of mutating cells, which shift in color, and pattern; eventually breaking free into an ephemeral broadcast of bubbles which move across the background. The work came into being against a psychological introspection, which included associations to pop culture such as alien abduction and pod people, as well as quite a bit of reflection on grains as a symbol of civilization, agriculture, sustenance, life, and imbibing (mainly whiskies).
