Why do people buy NFTs

Millions of dollars for a picture on the Internet - this phenomenon has become an absolute norm in today's society. But why does a person need NFT, what pushes people to buy a monkey on the Internet for real money?

Let's leave aside real NFT enthusiasts who buy tokens to help artists or improve the community. We are only interested in why ordinary people, who are usually far from cryptocurrencies, enter the NFT market.

The first reason is money. We are surrounded by news about how people become millionaires in a few months by buying and selling NFTs. This is replicated by the media, creating the feeling that the NFT is a guaranteed income. But the reality is that 95% leave the market after the first failure. But who cares about statistics when you can make millions trading pictures.

The second reason is involvement. The creators of NFT collections today create entire communities. And we are social beings, hence the interest in NFT communities. Become part of the community for only $100? Wrap two. And imagine how great it is to be in the community of millionaires from the Bored Ape Yacht Club.

The third reason is art. But unlike the first two, this is a rather specific part of the NFT market. Among collectors, there are quite a few who buy for the sake of the aesthetics of contemplating art, but there are still such people. There are pretty good reasons to believe that this category will grow in the future when virtually all art moves online.

There can be a great many reasons for buying, the main thing is development. NFT technology is new, it has yet to be developed, and large-scale implementation can only happen if the masses are interested in the technology.
All you need to know to buy your first NFT

The NFT field is currently one of the most lucrative areas in the entire blockchain space🤓

Buy relatively cheap NFT. With cheap NFT, it's easier and safer to learn the basics of NFT. It is also important to learn how to navigate the NFT markets. It is advisable to start buying from the collection with the lowest prices. This is because most NFTs with lower prices have:

☝️ They are easy to increase, because they are more competitive than the most expensive NFT in the collection.

✌️ Finally, they are also easy to sell if you need.

Beware of scammers - Most of those people will pretend to be a support service that asks for your opening phrase and so on.

Be active on social media - also cool to join the Discord channel of collections that you like. You can follow NFT technologies on Twitter to learn more about the unchanging tag ecosystem.

Last tip: “Buy art that you like. “Don't force yourself to buy NFT that you don't like"

The 19-year-old earned more than $ 50 million from NFT

Transgender teenager Victor Langlois earned almost $ 50 million in just over a year from selling his non-refundable tokens (NFT).

The 19-year-old first gained widespread popularity after his physical works of art and NFT sold for more than $ 2 million at auction in New York. The collection entitled "Hello, I'm Victor and this is my life" explored Victor's childhood and gender reassignment.

In April, Langua managed to sell his NFT paintings for almost $ 20 million and achieved this in just one day since its publication. This sale was the third largest in the history of the Nifty Gateway trading platform.

After the auction, he told: "My goal is not to make money because I want to relax and do nothing. On the contrary, I want to write without thinking about anything else. "

No NFT means no conference ticket

A 4-day Vee Con by entrepreneur and social media influencer Gary Vaynerchuk recently took place.

Will our NFTs be tickets to the future?🤔

How to enter the crypto market without losing a single dollar?

You should understand that all warnings about the risks of cryptocurrencies are made for exactly the same purpose as the label "Excessive alcohol consumption can be harmful to your health" on a bottle of wine.

And just like 100 milliliters of red dry, a rational crypto investor is exposed to fewer risks than an “ordinary person” who keeps his funds “under his pillow”, giving his hard-earned money to inflation.

The most reliable option for making money on a crypt without risks is the following:
✔️ Buy several different types of stables (for example USDT, USDC, USDN, DAI);
✔️ Invest at % in DeFi services.

Waves.Exchange is rightfully considered the most reliable decentralized exchange at the moment. The project has passed all possible checks, including an exhausting attack on the Waves protocol, similar to the one that became fatal for the Terra ecosystem, but all investor funds remained untouched.

With all this, the percents on Waves.Exchange are significantly higher than the market (23% APY on USDT/USDC and 90% APY on USDN pools)👀. No login instructions are needed, everything is intuitive and takes a few clicks.
In the new season of Love, Death + Robots, Netflix has hidden NFTs - how to find them

In the new season of Love, Death + Robots on Netflix, there are hidden NFTs to look for in different episodes of the series, as well as in the physical world - on billboards. The hunt for nine Q-codes was announced on the series' Twitter account.

Users will be able to scan these hidden codes to create non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that will show up on their OpenSea accounts.

The number of tokens is not limited. This means that any user will be able to find the same QR code and mint an NFT. The company does not charge for this. But in order to transfer NFT to your crypto wallet, you need to pay for the transaction on the Ethereum network.

You can also download NFT to your device as a regular JPG image.

The English Premier League (EPL) has launched two cryptocurrency brands and NFT in the United States.

That is a sign that the world's most popular sports league is preparing to expand its brand to the digital scene.

Two statements concern the use of league-related trademarks in the United States, one focusing on the league name and the three-quarters lion crown logo and the other on the "Cup of Love Trophy" decorated with lions on each handle and crown on top.

The game allows its users to store player cards as collectibles, sell them on the open market for in-game currency or exchange cards with other players.

Will you collect NFT player cards?

NFTs and their role in the Metaverse☝️

In the Metaverse, the NFT serves as a digital certificate of ownership, and proves that the holder of the NFT owns a particular digital asset: an avatar, a virtual earth, and so on. In addition, NFTs confirm the ownership of physical assets if such mechanics are built into the Metaverse.

A simple example is tokenized money: if you get $10💰 in the Metaverse, you will get that $10💰 in the real world.

More complex - tokenized computer - actions on a virtual computer in the Metaverse will automatically be copied to a computer in the real world: if you create a text file and type text in it, this text file will appear on the real computer💻

As you can see, integrating NFTs into the metaverse can be quite tricky. Especially if you are creating something really interesting and unique.

Why do gamers hate NFTs?

According to a report from the Gaming Developers Conference, “Most pros in the gaming industry said their companies are not interested in NFTs (70%).

Before the P2E boom in popular games like Counter Strike 🎯or Dota🎮, you could buy skins with real money, but often they did not bring any advantages in speed or weapon power.

There is an unspoken injustice in P2E games. Gamers are tolerant of paid options if it's aesthetically pleasing, but their dissatisfaction grows if players can buy tangible gameplay benefits☝️

However, at the end of 2021, gaming NFT sales amounted to $1.5 billion, and this figure is growing every day.

Most recently, the South Korean government issued a call to remove P2E games from the Apple App Store and Google Play.
