This remains a novel idea, as one would scratch their head trying to figure out exactly how they would tokenize emotions. But Rentel believes that love can be separated into physical love, platonic love, and most importantly, digital love. With each one being just as real as the other.

Rentel confirmed the sale of the NFT but added that she did not know who had bought it either. The identity of the buyer seems will remain unknown until the date with the influencer.

NFTs As A Store Of Value

NFTs are gaining more support given what they represent. With this, people can show that they undisputedly own a piece of artwork or anything else being sold as a non-fungible token. Information about the work and the owner is written directly to the blockchain where everyone can see who the owner of the piece is.

This has been especially popular amongst artists as this provides them a way to directly sell their art. And also helps to combat people using their work without properly paying or licensing it.

Marta Rentel does not stop at selling her “love” as an NFT. The influencer plans to continue to sell her Instagram photos and YouTube videos as non-fungible tokens.
