Lionel Messi is 12 years old. He’s like a little foal that runs from here to there on an unpredictable mud plain playing soccer in a ‘potrero’ (paddock). You are one of a couple of dozen viewers there. You notice that there is only one handheld camera filming the children’s game with a boring commentator. Some are already talking about that amazing kid. Those present are astonished at this skilled child. Suddenly for you the screaming of the people, the speed of the number 10 and the fervor stop. As a spectator you realize that you are witnessing the birth of one of the biggest stars that football will give birth to. What to do? With your iNeuron you take a snapshot of the moment, parading like an imaginary flash and… Boom! You imprint that image on your memory with fire. The year 1999 is passing. You have a unique, own, unforgeable memory in your head. How do you turn it into a transmittable, exclusive, interchangeable, and collectible reality? How?

You still do not know the comments that Ray Hudson will make of Messi when he reaches the first team of Barcelona FC. You don’t even know who Ray Hudson is! Nobody in that place can project the trajectory that the little one will have. Many viewers cannot see beyond the reality of the pasture mud. But you smile, you see beyond that context. You do not listen to the naysayers, nor to the short-sighted, nor to the sheep of flocks that swing on their comforts without ever leaving the fold. You trust your intuition and listen carefully, scrutinize the signs. Something great will happen with that kid. But what can you do but be amazed and smile?

With your iNeuron you check the mementos you have. You notice that the same thing happens with them as with the incipient football that Messi scattered in front of you in 1999. You want to unite the two things and you comment on it with the spectators. Again, you hear the laughter and hordes of serial scoffers. They mock at your exaggeration and flatly deny that these worlds can ever intersect. Have a real and virtual memory on a card of that genius that you can save, exchange, and sell? Let there be! Their closure will be their downfall, their denial will be their problem.

This has probably been the case since the dawn of Humanity when the first men wanted to artistically express what they had inside, materializing stored memories. First with hands and animals drawn on the stone, then with clay crafts, with enzyme paint of flowers, oil, papyrus and tapestries. The reactions will have been one of mockery, surprise, indifference and admiration. With the ability to create came that of copying and falsifying.

What if… while you were witnessing the birth of something new, you captured it in an artistic work? What if… you would have asked that tiny Messi for a gift shirt? What if… you would have bought the ‘Lionel Messi’ brand? What if… you would have associated yourself with his image? That tricky but disturbing question: What if…? One possible answer is that to predict the future many times you must travel with your mind to the past. See the circumstances, trends, opportunities that have passed and seek to understand why and how it is that they were not taken advantage of. This is how you will define not to miss an opportunity today.

Today a memory can be forged, designed and cured, ready to be exchanged. You now have a virtual NFTs that could have a market value, unforgeable and transferable. As the artist’s art grows, the shared utility of your initial bet will grow. You can benefit directly from the success of your favorite athletes, stars, and emerging teams. You will sing a duet with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to the rhythm of Face Off: It’s about drive, it’s about power, we stay hungry, we devour. Put in the work, put in the hours and take what’s ours.

You own a part of the story. Your memory can be captured in a virtual card with an album to view and share, with annotations and details, characteristics and data: NFT is the idea you dreamt in 1999 whose time has come. Now you can get there ahead of time. Now they’re a master of their art, but you can say they were apprentices when you’ve reached them in the past.
