NFT: Not just images, but a 'certificate of the digital world'.
Many people’s first impression of NFTs is:
'Just a few messy JPGs traded at sky-high prices.'
But a more accurate understanding is:
NFT = a 'unique digital certificate' recorded on the blockchain, used to prove that a certain digital asset or right belongs to you. ChainUp+2Simplex+2
It can correspond not only to profile pictures, but also to:
A piece of digital artwork
A concert ticket / qualification for offline events
A membership card for a private community
Weapons, skins, and cards in games
Others can right-click and save your profile picture, but they cannot copy:
The blockchain record that you are the holder of the NFT
The exclusive rights and privileges that come with the NFT
So, when you see an NFT project, you can ask yourself three questions:
What specific rights does this NFT represent? (Ticket/Identity/Item/Profit Sharing…)
Does the project have real products or community support?
If no one takes over tomorrow, is this NFT still useful to me?
Revisiting NFTs from 'speculative symbols' to 'digital certificates', you will find that Web3 is far more than just trading images.
