‘BET is a tangible asset that can be directly converted into artworks,’ explains elliot. ‘as the internet and social network rise, money, business, creativity & the ways one manages them are shifting. creatives & influencers monetizing their personal content & data have now become more valuable than some traditional industries.’

BET is expected to become a convenient form of art and money for investors who are looking to collect and purchase artworks. without the control of a bank or the government, the creative platform will open up more opportunities for individuals to access exclusive artworks and cultural contents through online exhibitions and viewing rooms.

every five years, BET plans to host physical events called the ‘new summit’, where investors will be able to gather physically and discuss the trends of the internet market. the event will feature a mix of exhibitions, presentations, talks and screenings featuring the the latest cultural innovations, artificial intelligence and robots.

‘the 21st century is all about new forms of goods & services,’ tells elliot. ‘BET aims to embody these new values & challenges, new ways of consumption & learning.’
