𝗡𝗙𝗧𝘀 - The new NFT technology makes it possible to make not only digital art, but also other digital objects, such as tweets, tradable. The first tweet ever posted by Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey in 2006 was sold for the equivalent of $2.9 million earlier this year. However, the NFT movement did not stop there. Since recently, it is now possible to trade real events as NFT. Among others, world-famous athletes such as Tom Brady or Tiger Woods have started to offer the most legendary moments of their sporting career for sale as tokens. These can now be purchased by fans and/or collectors. The grandmasters of chess have now also made it onto the blockchain. In the form of an NFT, the most legendary chess moves of world champion Magnus Carlsen and other celebrities can now be traded.
