down on a risky decision without thinking it
through. JR Bissell is working to provide his clients
with an alternative to the risk of betting on the
stock market by providing them with the very first
NFT to be backed and redeemable by a physical
artifact. With his company, Pirate Gold Coins, he
has made 10 high end shipwreck treasure coins
into NFTs to be sold.
“At any point in time,
the NFTs can be sent
back to be burned, and
we are able to ship you
the physical shipwreck
coin. All NFTs are 1 on
1 representations, of
course, because they claim
ownership of the physical piece
itself, ours are the first to be
backed by physical items,” Bissell
outlines.

With the increased spending seen in the market as people are dropping
hundreds of thousands to acquire NFTs in the digital realm, it only seems
natural to turn physical items, such as Bissell's shipwreck treasure artifacts,
into these NFTs. Prices have continued to skyrocket on what is considered
digital artwork, without any physical backing to what the ownership
represents. The issue, however, is that ownership of these items is easily
influenced by trends following Twitter and Reddit.
“Stocks can influence our
emotions everyday based on
theoretical gains or losses. People
will have a good or bad day based
on their stocks positions even
without ever selling them. The
saying, "Only thing worse than
being in the stock market is being
married to someone in the
market." Until someone sells the
stock, they never made or lost
anything. However, their daily
emotion is tied to their positions
---
regardless of selling,” Bissell
explains.
When NFTs came to the forefront of the cryptocurrency world, Bissell
wondered who was going to determine their prices as they moved forward
to the future. Curious if NFT pricing would follow the same rules as the high
end art market, with dealers and collectors following billionaire and oligarch
taste, or if online message boards such as Reddit groups and Twitter trends
would steer where the money flows.

On the flipside, collectibles are different. They do not come with highly
fluctuating prices under the influence of the global market, and therefore an
easier and less stress inducing investment for the consumer.

“In this uncertain new market, I
believe having these NFTs backed
by a physical artifact such as
shipwreck treasure will add
significant stability to the piece in
the form of a safety net. The NFT
will always be worth at least the
price of the physical artifact,
which remains very stable. In
addition, the population of
shipwreck treasure compared to
the volume of the cryptocurrency
industry, where there's tens of
thousands from a single series like
cryptopunks, are significantly
rarer. The amount of shipwreck
treasure will, for the most part,
---
remain fixed indefinitely, which in
turn, makes its value stable,"
Bissell says.
If the stability against the fluctuation of cryptocurrency and stocks wasn't
enough to turn the tide towards investing in physically backed NFTS, JR
reminds his clients about the status and clout that follows owning a piece of
shipwreck treasure.
"Although it sounds funny, it's
still worth mentioning that
owning a rare piece of our planet's
history is very exciting. It's a
great conversation piece with
friends and family, or even
potential new clients. Although
owning a large share of stock in a
company gives someone status,
it's not quite as glamorous and
---
alluring of a status symbol as
owning an original Monet or an
ancient Egyptian artifact," Bissell
states.
