NFT Artist-A New Way Out for Slash Youth

In 2020, a sudden epidemic has worsen the economy that had just experienced the winter of assets, and it also cleared out the pocket of the people who rely mainly on a job to make a living. Behind the fig leaf of dignity are unemployment, salary cuts, suspensions and suspensions. The "slash youth" is active again, and more people realize that only one job is not enough and developing a side job in today's rapidly changing environment has became a trend. -It is necessary to add a "slash".

In the past year, the crypto world has experienced waves of DeFi, which has also catalyzed the rise of NFT and the beginning of its ecosystem. This year, several sky-high price transactions acerbated the myth of wealth creating for NFT. The launch of Alipay and the Dunhuang Academy of Fine Arts "Flying and Nine-Colored Deer" NFT skin has made the concept of NFT deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and public awareness has soared. The entry of the CEX trading platform has made the NFT more inclusive. For example, Gate.io's NFT box, with a low threshold of 0 minting fees, allows every ordinary person to forge their own NFT, accumulate wealth for their own digital assets, and become another new way out for the slash youth.

The epidemic accelerates, "Slash Youth" opens up a borderless lifestyle

The slash youth is a very popular term in recent years, referring to those who do not meet the lifestyle of having only one "single career" and choosing to have multiple occupations and identities. For example, "company employee/amateur writer/bass player", each slash represents another possibility and another identity.

Starting in 2019, the team of slash youth began to expand. According to the domestic "2019 Workplace Personnel Inventory Report" released by Zhaopin recruitment, about 8.2% of workplace people have slash income. In various occupations, flexible employment in creative positions such as design, marketing/public relations/advertising. The proportions of slashes income are 13.0% and 12.4% respectively.

Another set of data shows that due to the impact of the epidemic, starting from the first quarter of 2020, a total of 94% of the global labor force has their work interrupted. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2019, the working hours of employees have been reduced by about 10.7%, which is equivalent to 305 million full-time jobs. After the outbreak began, 77% of young people in the world, equivalent to 328 million young labours, were engaged in informal work. More than 267 million young people were unemployed and did not receive education or training, including nearly 68 million unemployed youth.

In an era of increasing globalization, economic turmoil, and the increasing impact of technological iterations on ordinary people, life can be tough. If you are only good at a certain job and want to rely on a certain stable work life or support your family, then, when an emergency comes, how to settle down has become a problem that cannot be underestimated, just like the economic winter of 2019, which caused a large number of company layoffs, and the outbreak of the epidemic in 2020. These has caused the unemployment rate to rise. The mantra of many people is no longer "how to live a better life" but “to live", especially for the moment, the epidemic has accelerated the expansion of the slash youth team.

NFT Broke Out, CEX Entered the Game: The Next Place of the Slash Youth

In 2021, it took only half a year for NFT to grow from growth to explosion. Behind the crazy growth of NFT is people's consensus on the value of NFT. NFT refers to non-homogeneous tokens, which are indivisible, unique, and irreplaceable. Before 2020, the main NFT projects are concentrated on Ethereum. The problems of high gas fees, network congestion and poor experience have caused difficulties in the large-scale development of NFT, and NFT users need to have certain skills in order to realize coin minting and trading on the platform must have certain knowledge on wallet. Therefore, the threshold is higher for many ordinary users. An ordinary office worker who does not have the knowledge and common sense of the crypto world, and without a crypto wallet, can only stay away and feel that NFT has nothing to do with me.
