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 Moth Catcher
In this psychologically bed-headed portrait, a creature sets in a trance; his eyes devolved and vestigal, his third eye open but hardened and in a form resembling a Sharingan. The imagery therefore expresses an awareness existing in corporeal introspection. The creature’s mind sprouts, on the left side, an emerging face, grinning. To the right side of the head, red tentacles and fingers intertwine–a collaboration of invertebrate and vertebrate consciousness cooperatively handling paint brushes of the sort used to build an oil painting. The neck and throat bristle with random thorns, as from a rose or the upper portions of a beak sprouting from its flesh. The neck itself disassociates into layers of membranous material, terminating upon an abstracted base of convoluted forms composing its body. The nose is virtually non existent, more a sinus reiterative of the shape of the third eye. Set against the exposed teeth peering out of thick, meaty cheeks, a skeleton-like impression results. That impression sets behind a visceral set of lips and tongue, which is the creature’s prime seat of awareness. Sensual, organic, the tongue organ hangs, meaty, and with consciousness of a sea cucumber. It illuminates at the tip, drawing the attraction of a nearby moth–with mystery of purpose.
Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?
"Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?" is dedicated to the mysterious creation of Bitcoin, and acts as the showcase artwork within Javier ArrĂ©s’ exploratory series "Bitcoin, The Origin". "Who is the creator of Bitcoin?" The artist, ArrĂ©s, explores this question, and the feelings of doubt and mystery that accompany it, through his unique artistic language. An unknown, an enigma. It should be remembered that the name Satoshi Nakamoto is a pseudonym of Bitcoin's author or authors and gives us little insight into its true creator. For this Visual Toy, ArrĂ©s uses the signature claw machine, his famous half-operation, to symbolize our collective ignorance and unconfirmed belief: As soon as it has the stuffed animal within its grasp and appears to have solved the puzzle, the animal escapes again, and again. At present, there are three more public and studied possibilities who are either believed to be the creators of the currency or who directly claim the creation of it. It may be all or none of them, yet these three personalities leave us clues which are an important part of this interesting enigma. For this moment, it will remain unknown... In this artwork, ArrĂ©s elevates the claw machine from the apparatus, to an iconic pop art object serving as an important element to the Bitcoin creation narrative. Action is everywhere, with each movement serving an iconographical or metaphorical purpose related directly to cryptocurrency: Various ups and downs, roller coasters, mining points, robot, coins and more speak to a sense of hope, risk, mystery, randomness and possibility of pay out. Hundreds of manically thought out details make this creation one of the artist’s most complex Visual Toys to date. ------- "Bitcoin, The Origin" is a set of two Visual Toys, titled "Who is Satoshi Nakamoto" and "It’s Alive!" which reflect and explore the mystery and enigmas behind the creation of Bitcoin. ArrĂ©s presents these proposals to us in his signature style, full of iconography, fantasy, maniacal animations and a panoply of details (both subtle and overt) which simultaneously fascinate, hypnotize, and narrate this historical milestone through the singular vision of the artist. Through this series, ArrĂ©s freezes a crucial moment of cryptocurrency history, taking a still photo under his vision and turning it into two unique crypto artworks. ---- More info about Javier ArrĂ©s: https://javierarres.com/about.html
