NFT Charity Auction of Digital Collectibles Benefits Livestock Hope
For the first time in the history of the NFT, there will be a major humanitarian event on Christmas Eve this afternoon. To raise money for Brooklyn-based Blankets of Hope, a nonprofit founded six years ago by brothers Nick and Mike Fiorito, Right-Click, Give! Charity auction is being held. Each blanket comes with a handwritten letter from the students.
A 25-year-old man named Mike Fiorito claims he and his younger brother are “addicted” to collecting NFTs. “After buying the first one, we were completely obsessed. As soon as we arrived at NFT, we were impressed by how welcoming and friendly everyone was.”
According to Fiorito, in order to reach their “dream number,” organizers want to generate $250 in bundled ETH, or $1 million, from the auction and donations. According to him, the current bid is 50 ETH (about $200,000). As of Thursday afternoon, VeeFriends Gracious Grasshopper has a peak offer of 8.5 ETH wrapped (US$34,569.25) in the collection of works on the block.

Buffett, Warren Buffett’s niece and an artist and NFT illustrator, said she was pleased with the items being auctioned. The company I work for is first class. It is all about “redefining the way we create things for ourselves and for each other,” she argues, in the spirit of the crypto sphere. In other words, “It’s wealth sharing.”
The NFT Spirit Coin is a “mandala” that symbolizes how energy and people come together, according to a woman who received it from billionaire investor Warren Buffett. When it comes to NFT tokens, interest grows rapidly as Santa goes up the chimney. An industry survey from market tracking firm DappRadar shows that NFT sales grew to more than US$10.7 billion in the third quarter of 2021.

The auction has a tax split, just like any other charitable giving. However, according to Fiorito, a “very foggy area” exists when it comes to NFT contributions, and donors and contractors don’t expect a tax-deductible gift.
