Beeple Background
Beeple is a graphic designer from Charleston, South Carolina, USA. Over the years, he has created a wide range of designs spanning art, short films and VR works. From a collaboration standpoint, he’s worked with some of the biggest brands out there including Apple, Space X, Samsung and many more.
Beyond that, he has also worked with celebrities such as Justin Bieber, One Direction and Katy Perry to name a few of the A-lister’s he now calls friends.

It can be said that his skills are amazingly varied and broad, spanning many industries, including today’s NFT space.
His belief
Beeple believes in the future of NFTs
A Non-Fungible Token is a digital asset that can be bought and sold. This unique work can only have a single owner and its every transaction from being minted to being sold are recorded on a blockchain register. While some artists might not know much about NFTs, Beeple said he believes the current NFT trend will increase massively and be a solid investment because people are looking for higher quality and long-term value assets.
“I believe so strongly in this technology because it’s so simple in terms of proving ownership and it can be applied to so many different things that I think in the long term it has such a massive opportunity and massive possibility of really being looked at as a true alternate asset class,” Beeple said in a CBNC interview.
“I think where we are over the course of these two months or whatever, I think this is an industry that’s going to be around for many, many decades,” he added.
