And you might’ve heard of valuable collections like Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), Gary Vee’s VeeFriends, and Nouns.

But what exactly is an NFT?

I hope to answer that question and much more in this ultimate guide to NFTs.

We’ll cover:

• Why are NFTs valuable?

Let’s dive in.

What is an NFT?

An NFT is a type of asset stored on a blockchain such as Ethereum.

You know what baseball cards are, right?

Well if you can imagine digital baseball cards then you’re most of the way to understanding NFTs.

Let’s get a bit more technical with our description though: NFT stands for Non-Fungible Token.

Don’t worry if you have no idea what this means, we’ll break it down.

Firstly let’s define what “non-fungible” means.

In short, it means that each token is unique and not interchangeable.

This is in contrast to “fungible” assets, like money, where each unit is worth the same as any other unit.

1 dollar is equal to any other dollar.

But 1 non-fungible asset is not be equal to another non-fungible asset.

Non-fungible means that something cannot be replaced by another thing of equal value. For example, a specific piece of art is non-fungible because it cannot be replaced by another piece of art, even if that other piece is of equal value.

Take Van Gogh’s sunflowers.
