NFTs are crypto tokens that represent something unique. They are not mutually interchangeable.
This means that one NFT is not the same as the other.
Unlike for example Bitcoin, where each satoshi is exactly the same as the other.

NFTs are crypto tokens that represent something unique. They are not mutually interchangeable.
This means that one NFT is not the same as the other.
Unlike for example Bitcoin, where each satoshi is exactly the same as the other.
For example, The Hashmask with ID #6718 is completely different than the Hashmask with ID #9939.
Different visually as well as the ID on the blockchain.
NFTs are used to create verifiable digital scarcity and digital ownership.
The main applications we see today are:
🔹Digital Art
🔹Collectibles
🔹Games
Well, yes and no. Sure, if you got a NFT art piece you may not be able to physically hang it on the wall, but one thing you do know: You're the owner and there isn't anything like your piece of art.
Just the fact of having a one-of-a-kind piece of something is very valuable to a lot of people, even if it's digital.
Besides that, some of these art pieces are made by professional well-known artists which adds even more value.
Trust me, there is PLENTY of people that would love to spend a fortune on something that gives them an unique extra ingame. Whether it's something powerful or just cosmetic.
I will start of by saying I am very bullish on the entire NFT scene for 2021 and onwards.
We are only just seeing the tip of the iceberg. NFT projects are getting progressively more attention these last few months.
We are even seeing some coverages of big purchases by big media sites like Coindesk.

As more and more attention flows towards NFTs i don't expect anything less than a big NFT boom this year.
I would not be surprised to see this go towards $10B+ this year.
Only mentioning this because i know i will get asked this.
No financial advice, obviously. 🙂
My Current NFT token (ERC20) holds are:
$PGT, $GHST, $NFTX, $MEGA, $PAINT & $B20.
I hold NFTs in:
@AxieInfinity, @ApeInFinance & @MegaCryptoPolis
NFTs are generally bought on websites like @opensea and @rariblecom. These websites enable you to buy and sell your NFTs but also to list your personally created NFTs.
The ERC-20 tokens are usually available on CEX's, @Uniswap or @SushiSwap.

Quick Thread on #Altcoins/ #Altseason
Step 1: $BTC has a huge correction. Every range starts with either a pump (or dump) and then follows with a dump (or pump). In this case, #Bitcoin pumped and is now pulling back. This is
Step 2: $BTC ranges big once it finds a bottom. This will allow it to reaccumulate for a big summer run in 2021. This is HEALTHY IMO.
Step 3: Once $BTC finds a bottom and starts to grind up again, I expect $ALTS to do very very well in both alt/usd and alt/btc pairs. ALTSZN is almost always characterized by strong alt/btc pairs moving- I've already accumulated most and have done my final buying today and more.
$BTC.D typically has a very nice time during this time of the year. I was off on December prediction bc I thought $BTC was going to pull back by then but oh well! #Altcoins will start their pumping time VERY soon now.

If you want #Altseason, you should want $BTC to make a decent sized pullback. Ranges start after huge moves in both directions, IMO we need to see some cooling off before the ranging starts. Plz give 26k. #Bitcoin pic.twitter.com/yLG9xSrbKz

$BTC.D: This is the chart for inverse #Bitcoin Dominance, the macro chart you need to check out for #Altcoins and when they have their runs. Still potentially more pain to go for $ALTS but I'm thinking that they will turn around strong when $BTC is done w. its run. pic.twitter.com/Q8ewTSRywp

Once upon a time there was a Raja named Uttānapāda born of Svayambhuva Manu,1st man on earth.He had 2 beautiful wives - Suniti & Suruchi & two sons were born of them Dhruva & Uttama respectively.
#talesofkrishna https://t.co/E85MTPkF9W
Now Suniti was the daughter of a tribal chief while Suruchi was the daughter of a rich king. Hence Suruchi was always favored the most by Raja while Suniti was ignored. But while Suniti was gentle & kind hearted by nature Suruchi was venomous inside.
#KrishnaLeela
The story is of a time when ideally the eldest son of the king becomes the heir to the throne. Hence the sinhasan of the Raja belonged to Dhruva.This is why Suruchi who was the 2nd wife nourished poison in her heart for Dhruva as she knew her son will never get the throne.
One day when Dhruva was just 5 years old he went on to sit on his father's lap. Suruchi, the jealous queen, got enraged and shoved him away from Raja as she never wanted Raja to shower Dhruva with his fatherly affection.
Dhruva protested questioning his step mother "why can't i sit on my own father's lap?" A furious Suruchi berated him saying "only God can allow him that privilege. Go ask him"

Great article from @AsheSchow. I lived thru the 'Satanic Panic' of the 1980's/early 1990's asking myself "Has eveyrbody lost their GODDAMN MINDS?!"
The 3 big things that made the 1980's/early 1990's surreal for me.
1) Satanic Panic - satanism in the day cares ahhhh!
2) "Repressed memory" syndrome
3) Facilitated Communication [FC]
All 3 led to massive abuse.
"Therapists" -and I use the term to describe these quacks loosely - would hypnotize people & convince they they were 'reliving' past memories of Mom & Dad killing babies in Satanic rituals in the basement while they were growing up.
Other 'therapists' would badger kids until they invented stories about watching alligators eat babies dropped into a lake from a hot air balloon. Kids would deny anything happened for hours until the therapist 'broke through' and 'found' the 'truth'.
FC was a movement that started with the claim severely handicapped individuals were able to 'type' legible sentences & communicate if a 'helper' guided their hands over a keyboard.
For three years I have wanted to write an article on moral panics. I have collected anecdotes and similarities between today\u2019s moral panic and those of the past - particularly the Satanic Panic of the 80s.
