[Time Magazine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nft-trading) published its 'Is God Dead?' magazine cover on April 8th, 1966 and there's now a digital collectible version inspired by the cover that's been released in the [NFT](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rolling-stone) market.

The exclusive cover art appeals to art collectors who are looking to own a unique piece of history, as the 1966 cover made history as the magazine’s first to feature only text. In 2017, Time Magazine followed up its iconic text-only cover with 'Is Truth Dead?' and now, there's an NFT-only cover that asks 'Is Fiat Dead?' The three covers are up for auction for a limited time on SuperRare.

Digital assets are appealing to those who are looking to own items that are exclusive and backed by data on the decentralized blockchain.
