The Ben Elliot Token, or how to raise financing as an up and coming artist
Yesterday I covered a big news item, and today I’ll cover what looks more like a curiosity for the time being but which could turn into a very interesting project in the digital assets space if it takes off. It is already a bit older but given it is a slow news day it fits right in. The Parisian artist Ben Elliot is working on launch the “Ben Elliot Token” [1][2][3][4] that will be tied to his future artistic output, and bestow other privileges on its holder. Is this a way for artists who are just starting up to kickstart their careers? And an opportunity for art investors to get in at the bottom?
