🔐 1. Blockchain Technology

NFTs are tokens created on blockchains like Ethereum, Solana, or Polygon. The blockchain ensures that:

• The NFT is unique or limited.

• Ownership is traceable and verifiable.

• No one can counterfeit or copy the original NFT, even if the image can be copied.

🖼️ 2. Ownership of Digital Assets

Before NFTs, it was not possible to "prove" that you owned a digital item (like art or a game skin). With NFTs, you can:

• Buy a digital artwork and prove that it is yours.

• Resell, transfer, or even use in games/metaverses (depending on the utility of the NFT).

💎 3. Scarcity and Exclusivity

The idea of digital scarcity is powerful. Even if an NFT is just an image, only a limited number of people can have the official version. This creates emotional and sometimes financial value.

⸻

💰 4. Speculative Market

Many NFTs skyrocketed in value because:

• Celebrities bought and promoted them.

• They were used as digital social status (e.g., Bored Ape Yacht Club).

• The community believed in the project and bought to increase value.

But beware: the market is highly volatile. Many lost money betting on NFTs just for the hype.

🧠 5. Utility and Access

Some NFTs have functions beyond art, such as:

• Access to exclusive events.

• Rights to music, books, or games.

• Usable items in blockchain games.
