WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
-
Non-fungible tokens or NFTs are cryptographic assets stored on a digital ledger called blockchain, with unique ID codes and metadata that cannot be replicated.
-
These tokens can be used to represent unique real-world items such as artwork.
-
NFTs, unlike bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, are not mutually interchangeable hence their coined name: non-fungible tokens.
PURSCHASE AND SELL NFTs:
-
NFTs are open for purchase and sell to anyone.
-
Access to any copy of the original file of those NFTs is not restricted, however they are tracked on blockchains to provide proof of ownership.
-
Once an individual purchases a digital art piece, they are the sole owner of this digital token as a collectible item.
WHY ARE NFTs SO IMPORTANT?
-
Physical money (cash), gold, silver, cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum etc.) are fungible and therefore traded or exchanged one for another, i.e., one Bitcoin will always equal in value to another Bitcoin.
-
NFTs on the other hand are unique and irreplaceable, thereby making it impossible for one non-fungible token to be equal to another.
