Where there is interest, there is $$$
Some NFTs allow redemption of physical items (e.g. @DeadHeadsNFT giving Bomber Jackets)
Easier to buy and sell – avoid storage, delivery, and payment issues like you would with physical items

• Clubhouse/Spaces: discussions, more detail, Q&A
• Discord: updates, chat, ideate, grow with them
• Do you believe in their vision, mission and roadmap?

Blockchain technology provides traceability and ownership
In short, it is a long ledger of permanent and public info – buyers, sellers, owner, creator, times, contracts, and other properties
• Illiquidity: need to wait for a buyer
• NFT price: influencers, celebs, marketing, community - has big impact
• Crypto price: can rapidly increase or decrease NFT value
• Supply vs. demand
• Don’t invest what you can’t afford to lose!
• Fake NFT: check seller is verified
• Dodgy link: people sending fake project
• Fake giveaway: receiving a win you never entered
• Wrong currency = much lower offer
• Asking for your seed phrase. NEVER GIVE THIS OUT! No one needs this from you!
Creator can incorporate royalties into future sales
Let’s say they sell an NFT for $100
If that was sold again to another buyer for $200, the creator can get 10% on that sale
Total Profit = $120 (passive income!)
I have put a list of resources and steps in my blog.

Two known examples of such elemental spirits that had god-like status are Raja Angin (king of the wind) and Mambang Tali Arus (spirit of river currents). There were undoubtedly many more which have been lost to time
Contact with ancient India brought the influence of Hinduism and Buddhism to SEA. What we now call Hinduism similarly developed in India out of native animism and the more formal Vedic tradition. This can be seen in the multitude of sacred animals and location-specific Hindu gods
