Will National Geographic enter the NFT market?

National Geographic will enter the NFT market with a limited time collection from 16 photographers. Check out the Nat Geo Genesis NFT Collection live here. In recent years, a new digital file format has promised to revolutionize how things can be owned, bought, and sold across the internet: the “non-fungible token,” or NFT for short.

What is NFT (non fungible token)?

NFT stands for non-fungible token. It’s generally built using the same kind of programming as cryptocurrency, like Bitcoin or Ethereum, but that’s where the similarity ends. Physical money and cryptocurrencies are “fungible,” meaning they can be traded or exchanged for one another.

Who created the most famous NFT of 2021?

Famous digital artist Mike Winklemann, better known as “Beeple,” crafted a composite of 5,000 daily drawings to create perhaps the most famous NFT of 2021, “EVERYDAYS: The First 5000 Days,” which sold at Christie’s for a record-breaking $69.3 million. Anyone can view the individual images—or even the entire collage of images online for free.

Why do people buy NFTS?

NFTs are seen as a way to have possessions in online and virtual environments, which can communicate social status and personal taste – for some people, it is the digital equivalent of buying an expensive pair of sneakers. For others, the lure lies in rapidly rising prices and the prospect of big returns.
