What are Nfts and cryptocurrencies

[/dfd_heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][dfd_spacer screen_wide_spacer_size="15" screen_normal_resolution="1024" screen_tablet_resolution="800" screen_mobile_resolution="480"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The digital transaction is an increasingly concrete reality that with the pandemic from Covid has undergone a strong surge. Practically everything now has its digital counterpart. Even coins and art are not far behind. We are talking about cryptocurrencies and NFT.

Non-fungible tokens (NFT - "Non Fungible Tokens") are digital goods that represent a wide range of unique, tangible and intangible objects. NBA Top Shot is one of the main markets of non fungible tokens, product of Dapper Labs. It gained fame a few years ago with Cryptokitties and brought up the trend of basketball trading cards to digital. The relationship with the NBA and its notoriety has helped make the NFT even more popular.

Cryptocurrencies are virtual currencies managed by a shared and immutable data structure, called blockchain. Unlike the NFT, the crypts owe their success to the support of the visionary Elon Musk who first believed in the project. Today the inventor of Tesla has retracted his confidence, recognizing in the blockchain a revolutionary technology, but still not sustainable.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][dfd_spacer screen_wide_spacer_size="50" screen_normal_resolution="1024" screen_tablet_resolution="800" screen_mobile_resolution="480"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][dfd_heading subtitle="" delimiter_settings="delimiter_style:solid|delimiter_width:80|delimiter_height:1" undefined="" title_font_options="tag:h2" subtitle_font_options="tag:div" tutorials=""]

NFT for Nba, Cryptocurrencies for football

[/dfd_heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][dfd_spacer screen_wide_spacer_size="15" screen_normal_resolution="1024" screen_tablet_resolution="800" screen_mobile_resolution="480"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]If the Nfts have conquered the Nba market, cryptocurrencies are imposing themselves on the football market. Milan recently announced the first sponsor for the sleeve of their shirts. It is Bitmex, the leading platform for derivative cryptos, known especially for the creation of Perpetual Swap, the most traded derivative crypto of all time.

"As part of the partnership, the Bitmex brand will be visible on the sleeve of the official male and female team in all competitions, including the UEFA Champions League, and on the sleeve of the rossoneri esports team, AQM, scoring another world premiere for the club."

This is a part of the official statement issued by Milan. The agreement between Milan and cryptocurrencies is not the first that takes place in the world of football. In fact we have Roma and Digitalbits and Inter and Socios. Socios also introduced cryptocurrencies into football by entering into agreements with about fifty other teams in order to promote fan tokens. These digital coins allow individual fans to gain special privileges to have a say in certain decisions of the teams.[/vc_column_text][dfd_spacer screen_wide_spacer_size="15" screen_normal_resolution="1024" screen_tablet_resolution="800" screen_mobile_resolution="480"][vc_column_text]To learn more about underwater ecomuseums, click here.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Your curiosity would inspire you to visit them, but you are not experienced divers or the depths terrify you. So how can we admire these wonders? If I, Hamid-Reza Khoyi, told you that it is now possible to immerse yourself in the wrecks without having to get wet, would you believe me?

The treasures of the deep

[/dfd_heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][dfd_spacer screen_wide_spacer_size="15" screen_normal_resolution="1024" screen_tablet_resolution="800" screen_mobile_resolution="480"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The depths of our seas are a world to be discovered. Almost unknown marine creatures, unexplored vegetation and home to many species and human creations. In the course of our history there are many human artifacts that have gone on the seabed. From shipwrecks, to statues, from clothes, to ceramics, the sea guards them and incorporates them with scrupulousness covering them with corals. In some cases such objects have become ideal habitats for some fishes so as to inspire famous artists in conjugating useful to the pleasant.

On the coasts of numerous countries of the world artists like Jason deCaires Taylor have created real underwater museums. Their purpose is not only to cheer up and make the visit of curious divers more enjoyable. They host works created in such a way as to interact perfectly with marine flora and fauna so much so as to be designed to become their home. In this way the artist, in addition to making his art known, manages to give a help to marine creatures so much in difficulty. Not everyone, however, until recently had the privilege of visiting these installations. Today, however, it is possible to do so without even having to get wet thanks to virtual underwater museums.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][dfd_spacer screen_wide_spacer_size="50" screen_normal_resolution="1024" screen_tablet_resolution="800" screen_mobile_resolution="480"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][dfd_heading subtitle="" delimiter_settings="delimiter_style:solid|delimiter_width:80|delimiter_height:1" undefined="" title_font_options="tag:h2" subtitle_font_options="tag:div"]

The experience of virtual underwater museums

[/dfd_heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][dfd_spacer screen_wide_spacer_size="15" screen_normal_resolution="1024" screen_tablet_resolution="800" screen_mobile_resolution="480"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]One of the first virtual underwater museums was founded on the coast of Malta. The coasts of this nation are in fact surrounded by numerous wrecks and resulting treasures sunk for a long time that have always attracted many curious. The focus on the sunken treasures has been such as to create a national agency for the management of collections, sites and museums, the Underwater Cultural Heritage Unit (UCHU). Thanks to his work, the Virtual Underwater Museum platform has come to life, allowing visitors to visit underwater museums without the need to get wet. Through the use of special underwater light cameras the public can immerse themselves in the beauties of history sunk without the need to really dive.

In Italy it is also possible to do the same thing at the Museum of the Sea and the Costa Marcello Zei in Sabaudia. To explain the experience is Giulia Sirgiovanni, vice president of the Pangea Institute onlus:

"The viewers are the novelty of our small museum. We thought that for a place like this, it would be ideal, with a diver as a traveling companion and the noise of the air regulator. Nothing else. You can see barracuda, but also small glances, peacocks and a little Posidonia prairie. We hope it will be a way to get to know the marine environment better and then, with the opportunity, to get to know the rest of the museum that has so many things to present."

How many medals to be made!

[/dfd_heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][dfd_spacer screen_wide_spacer_size="15" screen_normal_resolution="1024" screen_tablet_resolution="800" screen_mobile_resolution="480"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]At the end of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics there were 339 and 537 podiums respectively, but not exactly the same number of medals will be awarded. This is because we must consider the team sports, those in which the existence of a fourth place is not conceived and then we will give two bronzes and any ex aequo in disciplines that do not provide for play-offs. At the beginning of the event it is therefore practically impossible to know with absolute certainty the quantity of medals that must be available.

The only thing you are sure of is how many well-earned and coveted prizes must be realized. In every edition of the games the design of the medals is entrusted to a local artist who can give vent to his creativity even if with certain limits. In fact, he knows that on one side of the Summer Games Olympic medal he must necessarily depict the Panathinaiko stadium and the symbol of the Winged Victory. And of course they will have to be made in the three metals, silver gold and bronze. But where are these metals found?[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][dfd_spacer screen_wide_spacer_size="50" screen_normal_resolution="1024" screen_tablet_resolution="800" screen_mobile_resolution="480"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][dfd_heading subtitle="" delimiter_settings="delimiter_style:solid|delimiter_width:80|delimiter_height:1" undefined="" title_font_options="tag:h2" subtitle_font_options="tag:div" tutorials=""]

An Olympic medal made from recycled electronic devices

[/dfd_heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][dfd_spacer screen_wide_spacer_size="15" screen_normal_resolution="1024" screen_tablet_resolution="800" screen_mobile_resolution="480"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]If for athletes the goal is to win an Olympic medal, for the IOC is to make the event as sustainable as possible. Steps forward have already been made with past editions of the games to take a huge step forward with the stages of Tokyo and Paris. In Paris, in fact, the goal of having the same number of female and male participants will be achieved, while in Tokyo the goal of metal recycling for medals already started in Vancouver and Rio has been crowned.

«We hope that our project to recycle small consumer electronics products and our efforts to create a more environmentally friendly and sustainable society will become the legacy of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games», said the organizers of Tokyo 2020.

But what did they do to set an example? Simple created the Tokyo 2020 Medal Project. The project consisted in creating a mega collection of used electronic devices from which were then obtained the metals needed to make the medals. The initiative has been so successful that in the space of two years everything necessary has just been collected. In fact, from the equipment stored in the collection centers scattered throughout the cities and in the stores of NTT Docomo, a partner of the initiative, has earned 30.3 kilos of gold, 3,500 kilos of silver and 2,200 kilos of bronze.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
