Candidate for Minnesota Governor (Jensen) Releases Campaign NFTs

[question everything]

(I have no idea what this means)

Dr. Scott Jensen is bringing the Minnesota State Fair to the blockchain.

The former state senator and current Republican candidate for Minnesota governor announced the release of two fair-themed non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on Wednesday, claiming his to be the first political campaign in history to do so.

As various industries scramble to capitalize on the growing interest in NFTs, politicians may well be the next group to enter the digital collectible space.



The two NFTs make up half of Jensen’s “Scott at the Fair!” collection, with 25,000 of each edition available to purchase for $5.

Purchasing one of the NFTs unlocks access to a rewards program of prizes throughout the campaign, such as the opportunity to meet Jensen and watch a Minnesota Vikings football game with former Viking Matt Birk.

Because the purchase constitutes a donation to Jensen’s campaign, there are limitations on who can purchase the NFTs and in what quantity. Maximum donations are $4,000 per person or $8,000 per couple.

I also have no idea what any of that means; however, I would have gone with the cotton candy on a simple white paper cone instead of that orange-shaded candle on-a-stick.

2. I don't quite understand how meeting Jensen could be considered a "prize". nt
