Hello everyone and welcome to my blog


Since the emergence of blockchain, a lot of mind blowing projects such as cryptocurrencies, metaverse, and NFTs have been built on it. Some of these blockchain projects are self explanatory whereas some are just quite difficult for an average user to completely understand. Out of all these complex projects, one of the popular but yet confusing one is the NFTs.

WHAT IS AN NFT

A non-fungible token (NFT) is a blockchain-based token that represents a single asset, such as a document, work of art, music, or even real estate. Because each NFT is a distinct digital asset with its own identifier, it is not fungible.

NFTs are not interchangeable, even though they look quite similar. A bitcoin is equivalent to and transferable against another bitcoin, but an NFT is not. As a result, NFT technology is utilized to provide blockchain proof of validity and ownership. NFTs can be complete digital assets, such as play-to-earn game items and metaverse land, or tokenized representations of real-world assets.

HOW DOES NFTs DRIVE VALUE

The market supply and demand determine an NFT's value. When an NFT is constructed to represent a physical asset, it's usually easier to analyze it. However, in the digital world, most NFTs reside solely on-chain.

Each NFT collection has a unique supply, and each NFT unit might be one of a kind. However, a number of other factors can influence the value of an NFT. Limited series NFTs, for example, are more valuable due to their unique use cases. Demand for NFTs can be influenced by the founding team, as well as artists and the community.

To put it another way, the worth of an NFT could be determined by who produced it, its use in play-to-win games, or simply community and market sentiment. There have been numerous successful NFT projects, but there have also been many failures. Before trading or investing in NFTs, make sure to DYOR and don't utilize money you can't afford to lose.

On the BNB Smart Chain (BSC), for example, NFT prices are almost always in BNB or BUSD, whereas NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain are virtually always in ether (ETH).

On the Binance exchange, you can purchase the necessary coins and then transfer them to a wallet that can be linked to the NFT Marketplace.
