Commissioned by an anonymous crypto OG who first revealed that Satoshi Nakamoto is not one but eight different individuals, the Br8ve NFT tells the story of Bitcoin. To bring the NFT to life, digital artist VESA spent five months converting it into digital artwork, followed by another six months of work by 3D maestro Frank Spalteholz and music composer Mighty33 to convert it into an exclusive VR artwork finally.
