This would follow his well-liked collection from three years prior as he made his forecast on cryptocurrency. The 92-year-old actor talked about why he is so excited about web3 in the entertainment sector and what he thinks will happen to encryption when humanity reaches the Star Trek era. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shatner's journey with blockchain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shatner claims that his first experience with NFTs was in 2020, when 125,000 William Shatner trading cards on the Wax blockchain rapidly sold out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later, he was approached by Orange Comet, a web3 gaming company<\/a>, with an offer to launch his latest collection, “Infinite Connections.” The 2500 three-dimensional portraits in this collection of William Shatner are a reflection of his belief that “everything is connected.” Actor William Shatner said: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI have no idea what I\u2019m doing regarding programming. However, I can comprehend feelings, dramatic situations, and things of a beautiful nature. I have a lot of experience in fields like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Later, Shatner learned that NFTs might be “malleable” and “creative.” Due to the web3 technology's rapid advancement and development, he eventually became interested in it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Shatner was asked if Captain Kirk \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>would be interested in encryption, he responded that by the time we get to his universe's time, the field will be “way, so high.” William remarked:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIt\u2019ll be so many thousands of dollars in value \u2013 the crypto coins, I would assume that the individuals living now who will live two or three hundred years will acquire crypto before it explodes! The crypto tokens will be so many thousands of dollars in value.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In the conclusion, Shatner argued that the United States would thrive in a future built on cryptocurrencies, contrary to the predictions of particular cryptocurrency “doomsayers” who think that fiat money<\/a> is doomed to fail. Shatner does not personally invest in cryptocurrencies, but he does not rule out the potential that others may find them beneficial. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
