- Talent Network has launched the pre-sale of an NFT collection with real use called Talent Founders Club which gives access to the annual events of Talent Land and Blockchain Land.
- This collection of 4,000 tokens is divided into four categories: standard single, standard double, elite single, and elite double.
The non-fungible token (NFT) market is one of the largest in the world and this can be seen in the price of the most important collections such as the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), to name just one example. However, not everyone agrees on how this technology is used.
Part of the community considers that its usefulness is being wasted and Talent Network got to work.
This initiative, that has Raúl Martín Porcel as international CEO and that develops events of the stature of Talent Land Y Blockchain Land since 2018, has released a real-use NFT collection called Talent Founders Club. This collection of 4,000 tokens is divided into four categories: standard single, standard double, elite single, and elite double.
“When we made Blockchain Land we had many proposals to make NFTs. There is a topic that I don’t find funny, which is that when there is hype, that topic burns because it is used wrongly. Tokens have properties and are used for certain things, but in many cases they are being used in the wrong way. It was thought that the word NFT already had a value. An NFT is something that has value regardless of supply and demand”, highlighted Martín Porcel in dialogue with Bitcoin Mexico.
While adding:
“What do we have of value? Access to events. If an NFT gives you access, it already has a value: you don’t pay the entrance. We made one that is unlimited, with access to the events for life. In addition, you will not only enter, but you will be able to be part of a reserved area, contact with speakers and more “.
Talent Network NFTs
This started with a presale offering 70% off and is currently at 50%. The idea of the team was not to increase the price, but to decrease the bonus. Right now the aforementioned categories range from $320 to $743 dollars when the real price is between $640 and $1,490 dollars.
These NFTs give access to the annual Talent Land and Blockchain Land events. In 2023 both tickets will cost $700 dollars, so by buying the NFT one will do business. And this is much bigger if you think that you will no longer pay an entry, but that it already includes those of 2024, 2025 and we could continue.
However, Martín Porcel hopes that the tokens will reach the right hands: “We do not want anyone to buy to speculate. We would like it to be used as it makes sense”.
Porcel highlighted that These NFTs cannot go to 0, because at least the value of the input will be valid. It already happens with plane tickets and hotel room reservations. That’s what an NFT is for, not to draw little pictures and say it’s worth a million euros. It doesn’t do the technology justice,” he stated.
The NFTs will run on the Ethereum blockchain because it is “guaranteed” and “easy”. In November the tokens will be sent to the corresponding wallets and in January the possibility of exchanging them for tickets for the Guadalajara Talent Land, which will take place from April 10 to 14, will be enabled. Blockchain Land, meanwhile, will be in September with a date to be confirmed.
Boosting blockchain talent
Martín Porcel, as he very kindly explained in an interview for Bitcoin Mexico, who entered the world of cryptocurrencies in 2017 a little before the hard fork of Bitcoin with Bitcoin Cash, prior to the bull run. In that crypto winter, Blockchain Land was born within Talent Land.
“We spent all that time working on what we consider to be the most important part: the development of talent in blockchain. This our second crypto winter, we already know what comes next…”, commented.
And he continued:
“We want people to understand the opportunities that lie ahead, especially from a professional development point of view. I have been doing events since 1997 related to technology and the Internet. I don’t know if you can imagine what the .com boom was like in 2000. With the boom, the number of sponsors that arrived was crazy, and then came the crash. This bears some similarity to what is happening with Web3. Many philosophies that we see in Bitcoin were seen in free software in the 90s. Very pro-freedom movements, decentralization in an open source format, for example. The same thing is repeated. When we told people in 2003 that everything was going to be a cell phone, nobody believed it “.
And he pointed out the importance of Latin America as a strong region in blockchain talent.
“The number of young people there is enormous, much more than Europe. They have to prepare for what is coming. That when the boom of this arrives and everyone wants to do projects, governments, companies, there is someone who can do them. It is very good to convince a government to create a public purchasing platform so that there is no corruption, but who does all this? If there is no one to build, it only remains in ideas”.
