This is not a new concept, today's bonus thought is merely an amalgamation of a couple different thoughts shared with me. And I can't stop thinking about them. The first, I regret, I do not remember the source, but they used the title of this thought, Non-Fungible Human. And over the course of the following 24 hours I have continued to ruminate on this concept. Each of us, completely unique, 1:1 works of art. Now it's completely possible I have been living too long in the metaverse, but I find this concept exceptionally poignant. In the metaverse we chase the 1:1's, we seek out, we treasure, we value those unique and rare gems. Non-Fungible Humans, are they not the most beautiful of all?
I said a couple of thoughts, the second was not so much shared with words, but shared with an image. I've used this graphic as the image for this thought. All credit goes to Jack Butcher, a true artistic genius. His minimal, succinct, yet exceptionally insightful art is truly inspired. This piece focuses on the difference between an ERC-20 token, representing a fungible asset; and an ERC-721 token, or a non-fungible asset.
Considering his art, along with the previous thought, I hope you will join me in considering and appreciating your fellow humans today. Praise them for their value, and in those quiet moments alone…find your own beauty as well.
