NFT’s: Behind the craze

NFTs are exploding in popularity these days. People are paying a lot of money for these popular unique collectible cryptocurrency assets. The possibility of earning big money is inspiring more and more people to create NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) in the hopes of cashing in on the current NFT craze.  

One NFT monkey image by the digital artist known as Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), sold for a whopping $429,000 USD. Digital artwork worth millions of dollars is currently being traded on the NFT Marketplace every day.  

But let’s back up a bit. If you aren’t familiar with NFTs, here’s an overview. 

  What are NFTs?   

The ‘Non-fungible Token’ (NFT) meaning is essentially proof of ownership of a unique, one-of-a-kind product – such as an original work of digital art. A NFT will help identify the original artwork and prove that it belongs to you – giving your artwork value over any copies that may eventually make it online.  

A NFT Marketplace is a platform that makes it simple to store and sell NFTs that are then sold at auction at a set price. There are dozens of platforms that let you sell NFTs across a wide variety of NFT Marketplaces (aka exchanges or blockchains).
