What can NFTs do for the creator economy?

The Benefits of Using NFTs for Fundraising

NFT,
Troy Warren for Mintified.Com  #NFT NFTs are becoming an increasingly powerful cultural force as we see more widespread and mainstream adoption. They have created ways for people to more effectively monetize digital products, strengthen brands, and increase audience engagement. For these same reasons, NFTs can be an equally powerful fundraising tool for non-profit organizations and charities. NFTs Have Raised Millions for Non-Profits In March 2021, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey sold his first ever tweet as an NFT for $2.9 million, and donated the proceeds to GiveDirectly’s Africa COVID-19 response.

NFT Use Cases

NFT Use Cases

NFT, , , , ,
Troy Warren for Mintified.Com #NFT What are NFTs and how do they work? NFTs are Non-Fungible Tokens. ‘Non-Fungible’ means that the tokens are unique and cannot be interchanged with one another. In practice, NFTs could represent many different types of assets – you can’t exchange an NFT artwork for an NFT video and still have the same thing. Even if you buy an NFT collectible trading card that is 1 of 10 released, each of the 10 cards will have a unique token id that makes them distinct from each other. In contrast, currency is fungible.

What’s the big deal about NFTs? Here’s the madness behind these expensive digital tokens

What’s the big deal about NFTs? Here’s the madness behind these expensive digital tokens

Digital, Technology, ,
Oscar Gonzalez | CNET.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Digital #Technology NFTs are selling out in minutes for thousands of dollars. We'll explain why. NFTs, or nonfungible tokens, can be tied to a video highlight, a meme or a tweet. But what are they? Think of NFTs as a digital asset that's expensive but may make you a lot of money in the future (or maybe not) -- similar to cryptocurrency but not quite (more below). But it doesn't quite mean that you own an asset or piece of art (more below).  The tokens are so popular that Time Magazine's 4,500 TIMEPieces reportedly sold…
