Remember the Million dollar website? Imagined and brought to live back in 2005 by Alex Tew, the concept was a simple yet powerful one. To raise money for his university education, Alex decided to create a website with a million pixels and to sell the ownership of said pixels as advertising space to individual buyers for $1 dollar each.
The idea was a smashing success and quickly sold out, allowing the buyers to advertise their brands, ads, and personal messages, where Alex was able to earn $1,000,000 for his idea and its execution, which was nothing short of ingenious.
iUPixel: The Billion Dollar Market Cap
While the aforementioned concept showed how fast the internet can turn a blank canvas into pure creativity, creating value out of nowhere and bringing worthful attention in a completely virtual setting, it came with one simple limitation: third-party ownership of the asset, the pixel, which remained with Alex, or to be more specific, with the server in which the website is hosted.
Solving the aforementioned issue and building upon the shoulders of this notorious project is where iUPixel comes in. This company comes with Billion Dollar Market Cap, a twist on that concept, one that brings in blockchain technology, the IPFS, and Non-fungible Tokens (NFTs) to to the mix in order to provide full decentralization and true ownership of the asset (pixel).
What, how, who, and why?
So what exactly is the Billion Dollar Market Cap project? Put simply, the project is a collaborative artistic effort to showcase the potential of NFTs and it consists of a 1920×1080 canvas hosted on the IPFS, where users can purchase blocks of 10×10 pixels.
It gives them the right to upload a piece of media in the form of an NFT which will be immutably stored on the Ethereum blockchain, allowing data to be stored efficiently on the IPFS and the information of the NFTs to be stamped on the ETH public ledger.
Digging deeper into this concept, the iUPixel team will then allow users to rent or resell these pixels in an open market, opening the doors for speculation and valorization of the asset. In order to purchase and interact with the 10×10 pixels, users will need to do so with the $PIXEL token, the native cryptocurrency in the ecosystem which can be acquired in many decentralized and centralized exchanges.
