"Speculating" in Graffiti Art.

The banner inside the Youtube.Com clip read: "REP is STRONGEST CURRENCY!"

Itching my noggin, I thought about precisely what this saying could have meant. As much as I am aware, "Rep" is not a currency in any continent. No, in this instance "REP" represented "reputation" like in widespread urban parlance.

Certainly, savvy people understand that in some cases the top investment, can be an investiture in ones self, and a person's recognition is certainly something that a person applies to aid transact. Basically ones reputation is about confidence in something or another.

Who is actually supplying "REP" right now? None other than Public Art Films Inc. for their fantastic Hip Hop Movie "Style Wars". The reason? Twenty Seven years ago since its landmark and contentious broadcast on the USA's Public Broadcasting System, the motion picture's principal footage is damaged and even faded. The goal is straightforward: repair the original print as well as generate a new high-definition copy. The price is steep: five hundred thousand dollars. So Public Art Films utilized the motivation from the graffiti writers memorialized: To experience his or her tag names in public.The Graffiti Writers dubbed it to "Get Up", additionally, the goal was to "Go All City" (having your name in every Burroughs of Ny City), and from that you will get "Fame".

So exactly what is the "Skeme"? For as little as a $10 tax-deductible donation to the non-profit organization, you will get your very own (or someone else's) name in the Final Video Credits in the new BluRay master! Forget about "going all city" this really is "Getting Up International".

But I digress... you probably would like to know how "REP" is eligible being an investiture vehicle. Technically it isn't an investment vehicle, it's a donation, however in real life we will examine what fifty bucks will get you if you give to Style Wars as compared to other common investment opportunities...

Just for fifty dollars generously donated to Style Wars you receive the old Dvd video, the Blu-Ray Disc once it's made, a Document documenting the involvement last but not least your own NAME During The FINAL CREDITS OF THE DOCUMENTARY! Now clearly the actual disks are 50 smackers by themselves, if not more, however the on-going REP produced from the actual credits can certainly accumulate significantly over time as I will later make clear...

Let's say you get a stock share just for $50 and ten years later it really is priced at five hundred dollars. That seems like a good investment, but I will advise you why not.

Whether or not gold and silver coins, debt instruments, regional or even worldwide money they are all simply a expression of real value. Persons' method of attempting to quantify the entire world about them. Stock shares, Securities, and goods fall and rise, plus oftentimes are really worth a lot less as compared to when they were orignally received.

Now picture this..."REP" might last throughout the rising prices of any age. Imagine if happen to be on a huge date and you point out to your possible future spouse-to-be your tag on the credit scroll? Which could definitely result in more conversing and maybe a very first kiss! Ok now what if you decide to get real serious as they say, and make children? When they become the right age, and start goin' bonkers for graffiti not to mention breakdancing just like you had, you can indicate you had in fact happen to be cool a sufficient amount to donate to the video! No sum of money could actually obtain the things I've referred to.

As the money in your pocket book devalues seemingly by the day, a person questions whether there is virtually any safe and sound investment decision. I will declare without a doubt on the earth: REP can be The Strongest Form of Currency.
