ASUS Metaverse Enters Web 3.0 with Launch of Art Black hole NFT Platform

[TheLostSwede]

ASUS today announced its first move into Web 3.0 with the launch of Art Black hole, a new NFT platform created by its wholly-owned subsidiary, ASUS Metaverse Inc. ASUS Metaverse seeks to empower content creators, and create a trustworthy and deeper experience for all NFT users. Powered by the technological expertise of ASUS, especially in cloud computing, AI, and the blockchain, ASUS Metaverse aims to create an all-encompassing metaverse experience.

Joe Hsieh, ASUS Chief Operating Officer, explained why the company has chosen to enter the metaverse: "ASUS is particularly attentive to the development of new technologies and industries, especially the potential of Web 3.0. So, we have established a new company to declare our determination to operate in the metaverse for the long term. The first step is to build out an NFT platform and invite content creators from various fields to become our new partners."




A unique NFT metaverse experience for art, fashion, gaming, and much more
Art Black hole is designed to help NFT creators with the continuous promotion of their work and to better connect them with—and grow—their audiences. It also helps collectors easily purchase authentic, highly collectible artwork. Entering the metaverse will be quick and easy for both creators and collectors.

Art Black hole is currently open for applications from content creators to share their work on the platform. Once the artwork is accepted, the ASUS Metaverse team takes care of listing it on the site. In addition, the team provides advice, planning, and promotion services to the content creators.

NFT authentication and special privileges
Unlike some other NFT platforms, Art Black hole ensures that only genuine, high-quality, limited-edition artwork is sold. All artwork has been authenticated by art experts and the ASUS Metaverse team. These experts also provide reviews so that users can gain a deeper understanding of the value of the art and feel confident in the importance and significance of the works they purchase.

Another unique part of Art Black hole is that the NFTs collectors buy on the platform are not just digital images, they also confer special privileges to the owner. For example, by giving them the chance to interact with artists in private exhibition tours or painting courses. The NFT holder will also have priority access to future ASUS Metaverse events. These privileges are a unique selling point for content creators that many other types of NFTs do not provide, and will allow them to build a closer relationship with their fans.

Purchase NFTs with a credit card, simply and easily
NFT purchases are safe and convenient since they rely on fiat currency, no cryptocurrency is required. All that is needed is a credit card. Therefore, no knowledge of cryptocurrency or the blockchain is necessary, making it easy for everyone to purchase an NFT. Also, because they are priced in US dollars, the value of the NFTs won't be affected by changes in the cryptocurrency markets.

Additionally, the platform has undergone strict security tests by the ASUS group to protect it from malicious attacks, and smart contracts are audited by a third party to improve contract security.

Content creators wishing to join the ASUS Metaverse NFT platform should send an email to support@asusmeta.co

I know why this was posted, and I am thoroughly entertained by the reason.

It's amazing to me how many dumb people exist in this world. Well, have fun separating them from their money, you won't be getting a fucking penny from me boys.

 

[samum]

Bored Asus Yacht Club?

Well, I was considering going Asus this round actually for my next build... due to MSI's recent mis-steps... but... honestly not sure who I will go with now. all of them are pretty shiite these days lol.

Keep in mind NFTs may be dumb as buying a pet rock, but since ethereum went PoS, it isn't an ecological issue anymore. Just a questionable way to sell digital "art."

It's a rich person's game. You have money, you buy something with zero practical value as an investment hoping that somebody with more money will buy said investment.

It's absolutely fucking crazy.

 

[Bwaze]

So many trigger words in such a short press release. :-D

I just wish them a bankrupcy at this point.

 

[darakian]

Welp. Time to avoid asus products for a while.

So was the fine art market.

It's really not much different, just more streamlined and transparently silly.

Black Hole NFT platform... I like the name. If you invest in it, your money will disappear in a black hole.

 

[Dr. Dro]

No, thank you. I'll pass, and ASUS? L, ratio, and don't do it again.

 

[Tsukiyomi91]

expect them to not get any sales out of whatever stupid "projects" they're doing... bet someone will steal all their "art" and sells them for even lesser price elsewhere, though the trend for "No F***ing Thanks" has gone down to almost zero, doubt they'll make money.

 

[Pumper]

Did they miss the news that NFTs are dead?

No, rich people have gotten the memo now too

Its dead, and now being buried, some companies apparently like excavation or zombies. If you bought the NFT post launch early on, you could have lost several millions in dollar by now. Even collectors don't like being cheated.

The physical picture is now worth many times what the NFT is worth, both got sold at 2K a pop. Physical up and up, NFT down and down.

NFT shouldn't just be simply dead. It should be chopped into pieces, cremated, and its ashes spread across the universe for its molecules to be disintegrated by cosmic radiation. That's what such scam deserves.

Doesn't really change my statement. Of course the more transparently silly one is cheaper.

Alright, let me spell it out more clearly. Collectors of art pieces want the unique ownership because it represents two things.
Status, and value - one is the other, also; more value = more status. More unique = more value.

These are investments, make no mistake, and they are a way to spend money and show to others that you spent money. Now look at the value of NFT versus physical 'art'. The NFT is not the art, while in physical form, the proof of ownership and the item are the same thing. This fundamental difference, alongside the fact that NFT is not 'forever' but related to dependant technology (which is really not rare, of any kind of positive status, or perceived value, the value isn't in the NFT but in underlying technology that is interchangeable), makes the perceived value and the status derived from it just about zero.

I guess my point is how the market performs does not change what the market is. If I sell you an expensive photoshop filter as "fine art by antonio berichiti, worth millions!*" and you fall for it... it's still an art transaction, you are just a moron.

*of coupons for free back rubs from a guy named phil.

That's what puzzles me about NFTs. How can people really believe that their expensive photoshop filters, or the free backrub coupons are actually worth something?

Because they have been shown how a couple of NFT actually were sold for an even greater amount of real money. And then "fear of missing out" kicks in. We would all buy tons of Bitcoins if we were thrown back in time 10 years. Now was the chance to get in on the bandwagon at the start!

Well, if you threw me back 10 years and asked me about Bitcoin, I'd answer with the same question: why do people invest real money in backrub coupons?

 

[Voultapher]

That's a lot of ugly words in one sentence. Like I'm not sure I could come up with a headline that has more red flags in it.

Gigity and popcorn, love NFT threads.

It made more sense when bitcoin could be used as a currency and could send money cheaply. Today it makes no sense.
