How are the NFTs A Good Investment?
Today I want to talk about NFT Marketplace and whether I think they're a good investment. So let's talk a little bit about the difference between fungible tokens and non-fungible tokens.
A fungible
token would be any token that's theoretically interchangeable. So one us dollar
bill is really equal to any other us dollar bill. I'm simplifying a little bit here
because obviously certain serial number dollar bills may have a nefarious
history or one dollar bill may have a little cocaine on it and another doesn't likewise
with other fiat currencies.
But the
basic idea is that one dollar is one dollar and the same might be said for
bitcoin as well you can send someone a bitcoin. They can send someone a bitcoin
back to you a different bitcoin and you still have the same amount of wealth.
So those
are fungible tokens they're interchangeable a non-fungible token is a unique token.
It's a unique digital asset you can think of it like being a digital baseball
card. If you grew up in the 70s like. I did and knew about baseball cards and
basketball cards etc. It could be a digital painting.
It could be
an asset in a virtual world like decentral and. You could buy some real estate
there for example these are normally built on the Ethereum network and because
of the smart contract capability of Ethereum. You can do some pretty cool things with the NFT Marketplace Website.
You can prove that you own one proof of ownership is built into it. You can see
the current owner.
The previous
owner you can see the transaction history and it's easy to add other
interesting metadata as well unlike collecting oil paintings or canvases. It's
much easier to store these obviously they're essentially stored on the blockchain.
You don't need to buy fire insurance or flood insurance and it's very easy to verify
that you own it and you can get bragging rights.
I think is
what a lot of people like you can go online and show everyone that you own it. You
can just watch the NFT online but you don't actually own it and you can't sell
this unique token. Here's a decentral and I haven't really used this but this
would be an example of a virtual world where you could trade create and trade NFTs.
If you've
heard about kitties which was sort of a craze a couple years ago these I
believe were probably the first version of Most
Popular NFT Marketplace. Here's the most famous one called drag on currently
for sale for 600 eths roughly a million dollars. If you're finding this video
help to pause right here and just ask me if you could subscribe. You can see
that there are 146 of these uh for sale.
So this
really is uh really the definition of greater full investing where the only way
you make money with these is. Now I'm not saying you can't do that but it's
more difficult than you might imagine and I think. It's a very good business if
you're issuing NFTs this is just free money for the NBA.
If you run
one of these companies that takes a fee whenever an NFT is issued the winkles
twins were very smart. They bought nifty gateway back in back in 2018 I believe
and so they're very smart to be there just taking a cut of everything.
