What Exactly Is NFT?

NFTs (non-fungible tokens) are unique cryptographic tokens that exist on a blockchain and cannot be replicated. NFTs can represent real-world items like artwork and real estate. “Tokenizing” these real-world tangible assets makes buying, selling, and trading them more efficient while reducing the probability of fraud. For the uninitiated, NFTs are digital assets that cannot be changed or modified and are recorded on a distributed database called Blockchain. Art, music, GIF, videos, and even a selfie can be turned into an NFT.

An NFT, or non-fungible token, essentially allows its buyer to say they own the original copy of a digital file in the same way you might own the original copy of a piece of physical art.

Are NFTs a Good Investment? Investing in an asset just because it’s tokenized into an NFT is not a good idea. NFTs by themselves are not investments, so make sure to understand the value of the underlying asset that you are buying before you purchase the NFT.

Cryptopunks are another example of famous NFT collectables. They are one of the earliest examples of a non-fungible token and feature over 10,000 unique NFT artworks. In February 2022, CryptoPunk #5822 was sold for roughly $24 million in Ethereum, dwarfing some of the other most expensive NFT collectables.

In fact, most NFTs are nothing more than speculations at this point. If you apply the same discipline and investment principles that you use when buying stocks, however, you may be able to generate long-term wealth in the NFT space.

Can one Lose NFTs or in-game currency while playing these games? NFTs have some indefinite value in the cryptocurrency marketplace, and if you are afraid that you might lose your NFTs, don’t worry; it is pretty standard.
