Crypto-currencies come to the world of art: the online gallery Āto Gallery reported that it had made a deal on the implementation of the work of an artist Benjamin Katz from New York “Chasing Hearts/Northern Lights” for 150 Bitcoins, which corresponded to the sale of the picture at about $ 1.25 million.

The buyer wished to remain incognito: initially he or she found the Instagram Head of the gallery and asked about a possible deal.

Further, all negotiations passed in cryptographic messenger Signal, and shipping of the paintings were made by the company Postmates. At any stage, the buyer did not name himself and remained incognito.

The amount of the transaction was a record for the crypto world.
