Last fall, Randi Hipper decided to, as she put it recently, \u201cgo in-depth with the crypto space.\u201d After hearing about NFTs on Twitter and other social media platforms, Ms. Hipper, then a 17-year-old senior at Xaverian High School in Brooklyn, began releasing her own digital artworks \u2014 cartoonish and self-referential pieces showing her cruising in a car with a Bitcoin license plate or riding the Coney Island Wonder Wheel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms. Hipper comes up with the concepts and collaborates with digital artists, including a teenage boy in India who goes by Ajay Toons, offering the works for sale through the NFT marketplace Atomic Hub<\/a>. An NFT, or a nonfungible token, is a digital file created using blockchain computer code. It is bought using cryptocurrency such as Ether or Wax, and exists as a unique file unable to be duplicated, often just to be admired digitally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRight now, I\u2019m trying to do one drop a week,\u201d said Ms. Hipper, who now goes by\u00a0Miss Teen Crypto<\/a>\u00a0and has since turned 18. \u201cI try not to overload my feed, my collectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
