If we were to write a rap song for 2021 internet culture, it might sound something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sell memes to internet fiends and tweets to Twitter fans, I\u2019m a hustler baby, I\u2019ll sell videos to YouTube Stans.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

If you think you can\u2019t put a price on memes, tweets, and YouTube videos, let us introduce you to the latest three-letter acronym everyone knows but no one understands: NFT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are crypto tokens that turn everything digital, from memes and tweets to GIFs, JPEGs, and songs, into an asset you can own\u2014if you have enough money to win a bidding war. At first glance, they might sound like the internet\u2019s latest get-rich-quick scheme. But some people believe they\u2019re the future of fine art investing. So how do you get a slice of the NFT pie?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might think the world of NFTs is reserved for rich rappers or the uber-techie, but thanks to investing platforms and apps, it\u2019s easy to get started. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about how to invest in NFTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay, but what exactly is an NFT?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The jargon-y version<\/strong>: A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unique virtual token that represents ownership of a digital asset. They\u2019re called \u201cnon-fungible\u201d because they aren\u2019t interchangeable\u2013while you can swap one bitcoin for another bitcoin and still have the same thing, every NFT is a one-of-a-kind (like a special snowflake). These NFTs are certified by and stored on a blockchain, which is like a digital ledger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even more confused? Us too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u2018Explain it to me like I\u2019m 5\u2019 version:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Today\u2019s creators are more likely to use TikTok or Adobe Creative Suite as their canvas than, well, canvas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • But digital content is easily downloaded, shared, and replicated, so no one can own a YouTube video the way you can own a Monet…until now.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Using the same technology as crypto to certify and track digital content, (much like you\u2019d verify and track a painting), NFTs have finally made it possible to put a price tag on the JPEGs and GIFs we all thought were free.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    How much did it sell for?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Each of these digital artifacts, representing significant moments in online and popular culture, were sold as NFTs. How much would you pay to own a piece of internet history?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Why are NFTs even worth anything? And are they a good investment?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Before you learn how to invest in NFTs, you need to understand why they\u2019re worth something in the first place. After all, anyone can get on twitter, search for @jack, scroll down to his first tweet and view, retweet, or even screenshot and print it. So why are NFTs valuable?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We\u2019re not gonna lie: a large part NFTs’ value is the bragging rights. The ability to flex on your friends has always demanded top dollar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A print of Van Gogh\u2019s Starry Night <\/em>costs $15 while the painting itself sold at auction for $111 million\u2014anyone can own a print, but only one person can say they own the original. And while digital assets don’t contain the texture and brush strokes that make an original painting so special, they have a quality that\u2019s arguably even more brag-worthy: up until recently, they were deemed unownable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The question for people who want to try investing in NFTs is this: are they a passing fad, or the future of fine art investing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Don\u2019t take our word for it. This June, iconic hustler Jay-Z commissioned a piece of digital art to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his first album, Reasonable Doubt, <\/em>and turned it into an NFT. The NFT will be sold at auction by none other than Sotheby’s, the largest broker of fine art (we\u2019re talking Picasso, Pollock, Monet) in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Where to buy NFTs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Learning how to invest in NFTs is simpler than you\u2019d think. It looks a lot like investing in anything else: you buy low, you hold, you sell high. Luckily, most NFTs don\u2019t cost anywhere near six figures, and online marketplaces make it easy to buy, sell, and trade NFTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can browse NFT marketplaces much like you\u2019d browse Etsy. Filter through them based on categories, price range, and keywords. When you\u2019re ready, add money to your account and buy NFTs you think will go up in value. Eventually, you can resell or trade them on the same marketplace. Once you\u2019ve got the hang of how to invest in NFTs, you can even create and sell your own NFTs on these platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Picking an NFT marketplace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The granddaddy of places to buy, sell, and trade NFTs is OpenSea, the internet\u2019s largest NFT marketplace. You can filter through their catalogue of over four million items or browse exclusive OpenSea drops from both well-known and up-and-coming artists. These NFTs can go for a couple dollars or hundreds of thousands of dollars\u2014your goal is to buy the NFTs that go for $2 and then flip them for $200,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    On Rarible, which integrates with OpenSea, you can buy, sell, and create NFTs. Browse by top sellers, hot bids, and hot collections to get a sense of what\u2019s trending, or keep your eye on live auctions to get in on the bidding action. When Taco Bell made their own series of taco-themed NFTs, they put them up on Rarible for $1 each. The \u2018NFTacoBells\u2019 sold out within 30 minutes, and smart NFT investors went on to resell them for over $3,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Art investments have a history of outperforming the stock market, and finding art to invest in doesn\u2019t require millions anymore. Plus, adding new types of assets into your investment mix can help you keep your funds intact when the market dips. Get started investing in art today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
