NFTs Part Two: Why are they popular in the Art World?

​Welcome to Part Two of Alchemy’s blog on NFT Art! Picking up where we left off – we now know what NTFs are and what they represent. But why do people buy them? Why have they become so popular in the art world? Well, before NFTs became a sought-after genre in the industry, they started gaining prominence and their popularity grew through personal purchases. Almost anyone can make (mint), buy or sell an NFT. Some users take the investment approach – the idea behind being that the NFT will retain or even increase its value with time, making it a lucrative asset to have and re-sell later. In addition, as the tokens themselves are unique and impossible to replicate, some people use NFTs to safeguard their digital ownership of rare collectibles, gaining an easy way to prove purchase and possession. Eventually companies, brands and organisations would catch on as the ways in which people utilised NTFs would grow, attaching exclusive perks, tickets to events or hidden Easter eggs to the...

What Motivates Individuals to Move to a New Country?

​82% of employers in the US anticipate an increase in foreign employees over the next 12 months. This begs the question: “What would motivate you to make an international move?”. Secondly, given recent global events, “has this affected employee mobility between countries and also job opportunities?”. Historically people gravitated towards areas where resources were abundant. While the types of resources have shifted, we still migrate to areas or countries that offer us what we are lacking in our current environment. Whether that is more money, career progression, or a better work-life balance depends on your personal circumstances. According to the UN Migration report, only 1 in 30 people live outside their country of birth. Does this number sound smaller than expected? Well, it means that globally there were over 280 million international immigrants in 2020. This percentage has more than doubled since the 1970s. Some experts are calling it the “fourth industrial revolution.” Covid ...

What is an Employer of Record?

​The best prospects aren't always in the best places. Attracting the right talent can be as simple as offering the correct packages to encourage the “work from anywhere” culture. Many global corporations want to be ahead of the competition in terms of providing solid career possibilities and job rewards in this new era of work anywhere and/or remotely. Employers are concerned about staying ahead of the curve and creating packages that not only meet but also surpass candidate expectations. To attract and retain the top people, numerous industrial sectors are offering remote work from anywhere packages to suit candidates' need for a different working environment while also allowing hiring companies to pick from a growing pool of brilliant and nomadic thinking candidates. EOR (Employer of Record) firms may have the solution. The EOR businesses enter the picture at this point. Staying ahead of the curve necessitates partnering with a quick and nimble EOR partner who, in some co...

From corporate newsletters and digital galleries to social media debates, what does it mean for the average consumer of art and media? While the technicalities would make this a long answer, there are a couple of points that can help us get started.
