So, What are NFTs?

It’s called Non-fungible Tokens.

And I know you have heard of it a lot in news, twitter, newspaper, etc

But what’s it’s History, Design, Benefits, and How you can Create your own NFTs.

๐‹๐ž๐ญ’๐ฌ ๐ƒ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐ข๐ง!

An NFT is a digital asset that represents real-world elements like art, music, in-game items, and films. They’re bought and traded online, often using cryptocurrency, and they’re usually encoded with the same software as many other cryptos.

The First Ever NFT sold was by Kevin McCoy who minted his Non-fungible token โ€œQuantumโ€ in 2014.

Well so, that’s how this started.

And the Most ๐„๐—๐๐„๐๐’๐ˆ๐•๐„ ๐๐…๐“ ever was made by Beeple,

which was a collage of digital arts that sold for $532 Million!

How does that sound to you? Wait. There’s one in particular that you should know.

Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter, sold his first tweet. (Twitter’s first ever tweet) for $2.9 million as an NFT in March 2021.

Also the NFT below is called Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT Sold for $2.85 million in ETH on January 30th 2022

 NFTs are non-replaceable unique digital assets. You can’t replace it.

The person who buys it has the full ownership of the NFT.

It is done through Blockchain by digital ledgers (which stores the information)

 ๐„๐ฑ๐š๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ž : If you buy any painting or anything, you are buying a replica of it.

But In case of NFTs, you’re buying the rights of the virtual digital asset like paintings, artworks, audios, visuals, etc.

Let’s make it simple so that any 5 year old can understand.

I’m Dominic. Okay so I’m the Real One, so I’m the NFT,

and my friends having my photos are like they own a replica version of me, not the real me.

๐—ช๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ Nfts ๐•๐š๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ž?

NFTs are regarded as a new chapter of the digital age.

It’s being valuable as Cryptocurrencies,

you can imagine the craze as the NBA selling their matches clips as NFT!

Now the Question is ๐‡๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐จ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ฒ ๐—ช๐จ๐ซ๐ค?

They are a lot like cryptocurrency but unique. Blockchain ledgers contain the information of  who owns the NFT and who sold it and when. It records data information.

NFT resigns the authenticity to claim any digital asset.

In order to buy NFTs you will need to establish a digital cryptocurrency wallet.

You can use sites like opensea, coinbase, binance, etc.

Most of the NFTs are ethereum based.

As we know physical arts cannot be digitalized and the price value isn’t fixed.

When you purchase one of these non-fungibles, youโ€™re not necessarily purchasing the copyright to the art.

It affects Environment as mining requires lots of energy.

There’s a lot of fake marketplace going on. Hackers make the same NFT owning sites.

They can trick you and which can cost you. As you can see.
