NFTs for anyone new in this space!

What are they? What makes them a good investment?

Here are 14 points about NFTs and how you can get started.

🧵

 1/ What is an NFT?

Non-Fungible Token – digital asset representing anything

‘Fungibility’ means mutually interchangeable e.g. Bitcoin = Bitcoin

NFTs are unique. If you exchange it for another – you will have something different. Hence, ‘Non-Fungible’
2/ What are examples of NFTs?

• Art
• Music
• Comics
• TV Shows / Movies
• Tickets
• Collectibles
• Games
• Benefits
• etc.
3/ Why would you buy an NFT?

Gamers: Wish you could sell your in-game skins?

Sports: Hang up/show-off your team’s merch?

Sneakerheads: Ever lined up at night to cop a pair?

Enthusiasts: Ever bought comics of your favourite character?

Where there is interest, there is $$$
4/ Why buy digital? Why not physical?

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
5/ Do NFTs have utility?

They can have:
• Memberships (@garyvee #VCR)
• Exclusive access to content (@veefriends #VeeCon)
• Collaboration with brands (@RTFKTstudios)
• Royalties (@ParallelNFT #Masterpiece)
• Tickets to shows
• Commercial Use
• Rewards
• etc.
6/ What makes an NFT valuable?

• Team: background, influence, relationships
• Good idea: easy to grasp, original
• Roadmap: strategy
• Community: engaged, positive, influential
• Art
• Royalties
• Entertainment
• Bragging rights
• Much more! Trust your gut.
7/ Where can I check value?

• Project's website: about, vision, mission, objectives, stages/milestones
• Project's social media: creators, engagement with community, followers
• Clubhouse/Spaces: discussions, more detail, Q&A
• Discord: updates, chat, ideate, grow with them
8/ How do I check value?

• Do you believe in their vision, mission and roadmap?
• Do they have experience/skills to execute vision?
• Is team passionate and transparent?
• Does the idea resonate with you?
• Is art unique?
• Are people excited?
• Long-term v short?
9/ How do you know if the NFT is legit?

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
10/ What are risks of buying NFTs?

• 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!
11/ What are NFT scams?

• 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!
12/ How do NFTs benefit the creator?

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!)
13/ Okay, how do I buy NFTs?

I have put a list of resources and steps in my blog.

The first ever world map was sketched thousands of years ago by Indian saint
“Ramanujacharya” who simply translated the following verse from Mahabharat and gave the world its real face

In Mahabharat,it is described how 'Maharishi Ved Vyasa' gave away his divine vision to Sanjay


Dhritarashtra's charioteer so that he could describe him the events of the upcoming war.

But, even before questions of war could begin, Dhritarashtra asked him to describe how the world looks like from space.

This is how he described the face of the world:

सुदर्शनं प्रवक्ष्यामि द्वीपं तु कुरुनन्दन। परिमण्डलो महाराज द्वीपोऽसौ चक्रसंस्थितः॥
यथा हि पुरुषः पश्येदादर्शे मुखमात्मनः। एवं सुदर्शनद्वीपो दृश्यते चन्द्रमण्डले॥ द्विरंशे पिप्पलस्तत्र द्विरंशे च शशो महान्।

—वेद व्यास, भीष्म पर्व, महाभारत


Meaning:-

हे कुरुनन्दन ! सुदर्शन नामक यह द्वीप चक्र की भाँति गोलाकार स्थित है, जैसे पुरुष दर्पण में अपना मुख देखता है, उसी प्रकार यह द्वीप चन्द्रमण्डल में दिखायी देता है। इसके दो अंशो मे पीपल और दो अंशो मे विशाल शश (खरगोश) दिखायी देता है।


Meaning: "Just like a man sees his face in the mirror, so does the Earth appears in the Universe. In the first part you see leaves of the Peepal Tree, and in the next part you see a Rabbit."

Based on this shloka, Saint Ramanujacharya sketched out the map, but the world laughed

शमशान में जब महर्षि दधीचि के मांसपिंड का दाह संस्कार हो रहा था तो उनकी पत्नी अपने पति का वियोग सहन नहीं कर पायी और पास में ही स्थित विशाल पीपल वृक्ष के कोटर में अपने तीन वर्ष के बालक को रख के स्वयं चिता पे बैठ कर सती हो गयी ।इस प्रकार ऋषी दधीचि और उनकी पत्नी की मुक्ति हो गयी।


परन्तु पीपल के कोटर में रखा बालक भूख प्यास से तड़पने लगा। जब कुछ नहीं मिला तो वो कोटर में पड़े पीपल के गोदों (फल) को खाकर बड़ा होने लगा। कालान्तर में पीपल के फलों और पत्तों को खाकर बालक का जीवन किसी प्रकार सुरक्षित रहा।

एक दिन देवर्षि नारद वहां से गुजर रहे थे ।नारद ने पीपल के कोटर में बालक को देख कर उसका परिचय मांगा -
नारद बोले - बालक तुम कौन हो?
बालक - यही तो मैं भी जानना चहता हूँ ।
नारद - तुम्हारे जनक कौन हैं?
बालक - यही तो मैं भी जानना चाहता हूँ ।

तब नारद ने आँखें बन्द कर ध्यान लगाया ।


तत्पश्चात आश्चर्यचकित हो कर बालक को बताया कि 'हे बालक! तुम महान दानी महर्षि दधीचि के पुत्र हो । तुम्हारे पिता की अस्थियों का वज्रास्त्र बनाकर ही देवताओं ने असुरों पर विजय पायी थी।तुम्हारे पिता की मृत्यु मात्र 31 वर्ष की वय में ही हो गयी थी'।

बालक - मेरे पिता की अकाल मृत्यु का क्या कारण था?
नारद - तुम्हारे पिता पर शनिदेव की महादशा थी।
बालक - मेरे उपर आयी विपत्ति का कारण क्या था?
नारद - शनिदेव की महादशा।
इतना बताकर देवर्षि नारद ने पीपल के पत्तों और गोदों को खाकर बड़े हुए उस बालक का नाम पिप्पलाद रखा और उसे दीक्षित किया।

"How the Avengers would respond to the Capitol riot" (a thread)

CAPTAIN AMERICA - tells Falcon, "I fought Nazis once before. They're extremely dangerous." They then see the guy scaling the Capitol wall fall into the shrubs. Falcon: "You sure these are the same Nazis?"

IRON MAN - lands by the guy carrying the podium. Says, "Mind if I borrow this?" then tosses it to Hulk, who swings it like a bat at the mob. Guy: "Hey, that's MY podium!" Iron Man: "Actually it's the Speaker's. And technically, it's a lectern." Then punches him through a wall.

BLACK WIDOW - enters hotel room where Jack Dorsey is tied up. Rips duct tape off his mouth. Jack: "I'll do anything you want!" BW: "Disable POTUS's Twitter. NOW!" Jack fumbles with his phone. "Done. Anything else?" BW: "Yeah. Trim your beard for God's sake." *tosses him clippers*

HULK - grabs a selfie stick from one of the guys and beats him over the head with it. Deeming it too small, he grabs another guy's Confederate flag and takes out a whole swath of rioters. He then tosses the flag to Cap, who uses it as a javelin to impale a fleeing Ted Cruz.

HAWKEYE - hears Iron Man in his earpiece say, "Looks like Orange Julius is tweeting from another account." Hawkeye: "On it." He locks in on Trump through the White House window and fires an arrow, knocking the phone out of Trump's hands. Hawkeye: "Damn that felt good."

DODDA GANAPATHI, BENGALURU
#karnatakatemples

Dodda in Kannada means big. Sri Ganesha here is 18 ft tall in height and 16 ft wide. Dodda Ganesha is also known as Shakthi Ganapathi and Satya Ganapathi.

It is said that Kempe Gowda, the founder of Bengaluru, saw a rock here.


The rock had engravings of Ganesha. His sculptors cut the Ganesha murti from that single rock. Later, a shrine was built around the Ganesh murti.

It is believed that Dodda Ganapathi is the protector of Bengaluru. All auspicious events start by praying to Him.


Benne Alankara is the most famous festival here when about 100 kg of butter is coated over Ganapathi every four years and the rich prasad is offered to the worshippers.

Ganesha is also covered in cream colour and is decorated with golden laces and buttons
@GampaSD


The Dodda Ganapathi murti is believed to be still growing in size, especially towards right.

The weavers from old Bengaluru tie a coconut to their looms before starting work. When the work is completed, they break 100 coconuts here along with the one tied on the loom.
