Ronaldo’s previous collection had already garnered significant interest, and this new series promises to captivate even more NFT and football enthusiasts.

A launch amidst a judicial crisis

However, not everything is rosy in Ronaldo’s NFT world. In December 2023, he was hit bya $1 billion class-action lawsuit in the United States, accusing him of promoting unregistered securities via Binance.

The plaintiffs allege that Ronaldo misled numerous investors, enticing them to purchase NFTs that turned out to be risky investments. This case has plunged the world of football and crypto into financial turmoil, raising questions about the responsibility of celebrities in promoting digital assets.

Moreover, Ronaldo’s current location in Saudi Arabia complicates the judicial process. The plaintiffs have faced difficulties in officially serving Ronaldo, even suggesting alternative means like email or social media. This situation has added a layer of complexity to the case, making its resolution even more uncertain.

Despite these challenges, Cristiano Ronaldo and Binance continue to promote their NFT initiatives, hoping that transparency and innovation will eventually prevail. For fans and investors, this new collection represents both an exciting opportunity and a reminder of the potential risks associated with digital assets. Recently, Binance even challengedRonaldo to pass a lie detector test, adding an intriguing dimension to their partnership.

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?
