Using your own words to define non-fungible tokens: NFT,

To be sincere with you before now I had just little knowledge about NFT technology but all thanks to this contest my eyes are been opened to see and know about the NFT, before I start lecturing on NFT I would be glad to inform you inform you that the term NFT is self explained.

So before I explain NFT which stand for non-fungible tokens, I will start by defining "Non", non is defined as the act or possibility of been negative, it is used to before the word to show the word is the opposite then i I want to define the word Fungible, fungible is easily defined as the act of been replaceable, so therefore it means the asset, commodity or person has a similar entity that can be used to replace asset, commodity, person at any given time. Meanwhile tokens can a defined as any voucher or a means of exchange that is used to exchange commodity in any exchange market, tokens are used to exchange asset or commodities in any market.

So therefore I have indirectly defined the term non-fungible tokens to you, so therefore non-fungible tokens can be easily defined as non replaceable assets that can never be replaced, so therefore they are very unique in nature. When a nft is created or produced there are no chance of seeing an exact nft product in the market, you might see similar products in the market but it must differ in color, size or something but it can't be same.

difference between fungible and non-fungible tokens.
Non-fungible TokensFungible Tokens
This assert are unique in natureThis asset are not unique in nature
They are Intellectual properties to be boughtThey mostly used for payment purposes,
They don't have their own Blockchain because they can be built on any available BlockchainThe are tired to their specific Blockchain
Non-fungible tokens store only dataFungible tokens store mostly values
Are NFTs interchangeable? What are the differences between an NFT and other currencies? Is there an NFT marketplace? And how to invest in NFTs?

Are NFTs interchangeable?

No Non-fungible Tokens are not interchangeable because as I have said earlier they all have been created in a unique and special way, so therefore unlike crypto currencies like steem and Tron Non-fungible Tokens are not breakable into smaller entities because the all have uniquely Created attributes and codes.

What are the differences between an NFT and other currencies?

NFTother currencies
They cannot be two same and identical Nft with same value and same CodeOther currencies have same and identical asset which makes them replaceable
NFT are mostly used as Intellectual asset systemsThey mostly used for payment purpose
When creating NFT you don't need to create a Blockchain or platform to host it onOther currencies have have a Blockchain, platform of government to create the Currency
Non-fungible tokens can only dataOther currencies can store values

How to invest in NFT

Creating an NFT investment is the same with how we make our normal daily investment that we have been experiencing as investors in different platform or currencies, although if you don't know I will gladly show u in few steps.

Vist any trustworthy NFT market:

Just as we do in our daily economical activities we first of all visit the market which could be physically or online, same is the case of NFT. Before we buy or invest in NFT we must visit the NFT market like the one I mentioned above.

Research on the desired NFTs

Again just as we go through the market to find what we want or we scroll down the the e-commerce site to get our desired good's or asset, same implies in the NFT market where we are free to check through the NFT market to find attractive nft to invest in.

Buy your NFT

When you finally see what you like to invest in, just click on the NFT to see some important details on the NFT and you will also see a place to make an offer, click on it the connect your wallet to easily pay for the transactions. Then also make sure you fill necessary details.

How are NFTs used in art, video games and collectible card games? And how are NFTs revolutionizing property titles?

How are NFTs used in art, video games and collectible card games?

As you all must have heard or seen that Non-fungible tokens art, video games or non-fungible collectible card games, no matter matter which platform or site it's is seen called or classified as Non-fungible Token in digital assets.

Something you should be told is that, whenever you buy an NFT for a any known digital asset, it shows that uniquely have ownership of the certified token of the digital assets in any platform or any digital ledger. A real life example of an NFT is the physical goods or asset that we have full authority over because we bought or inherited them.

However, the main use of NFT in art, video games and collectible is artist and developer to promote their art and creativity online in a More secured and trustworthy formate and receive a worthy payment for their jobs and talents.

How are NFTs revolutionizing property titles?

NFTs revolutionizing property titles are one of the famous way which Non-fungible Tokens can easily be Identified. NFTs revolutionizing property titles are entitlement that give an investor full time ownership of their digital asset, thy are more like unique identifiers or primary keys in which proof's one ownership of an NFT.

How are NFTs regulated? And what are the solutions to the limits of NFT development?

How are NFTs regulated?

For now, there are no formal or official means or ways by which Nft are regulated. Just for the sake that NFTs are developed on Blockchain technology and they are quite similar to crypto currencies, therefore most regulations that's guide the crypt world also guide's The NFT and it's users. I am free to say that NFts are also regulated just as crypto assets are regulated but note it's just for a time range.

What are the solutions to the limits of NFT development?

  • The act or process of creating free NFTs

  • An official or formal standard for creation and enforcement regulations should be developed.

  • Permission or allowance of more or wider range of wallet connection should be included.

  • They should be more NFT marketplace or rooms to market nft because the current market are just few.

  • Way of identification should be improved to enhance ownership of most digital asset.

  • Investors, creators or users using experience should be positively improved

You deserve a chocolate for this wonderful article dear. You have written well dear.

An official or formal standard for creation and enforcement regulations should be developed.

They should be more NFT marketplace or rooms to market nft because the current market are just few.
Way of identification should be improved to enhance ownership of most digital asset.
Investors, creators or users using experience should be positively improved

This part captured my attention a lot. I believe with the solutions you outlined for the limitation of the development of NFTs, great success will be achieved. Wish you success dear

No Non-fungible Tokens are not interchangeable because as I have said earlier they all have been created in a unique and special way

Yes, rightly said , unlike crypto that are not unique hence they can be changed. Nfts might even look alike in so many but they are just like twins, they’re dna are always different or should I saw rhier prints for an easier understanding.

Research on the desired NFTs

Yes, research into a project is very important especially for first time investors. I say first time investors because most of them are so eager to make money in the nft space that they end up buying in on a project that has not future. And remember to never trade with a suspicious company.

The act or process of creating free NFTs

Yes this should be considered because the amount of gas fees users pay to mint an NFT is sometimes just too much. Do you know that polygon does not charge for minting? It is totally free of charge.

Yes friend the charges are really scary to those who have no money or financial support but I believe it will be settled soon

Thanks for stopping by

one thing I like about NFT's is that it's naturally unique, which means it can't possibly be counterfeited.
It really a nice concept for many of us, especially those who are into the creation of good arts, videos, and games. It's really rewarding, and I have really learnt alot more from this your lecture. Thanks for sharing and goodluck in this contest.
