So recently, this picture got sold for $532 million dollars this one for $69 million dollars and this monkey's picture for $2.7 million dollars So, I asked my mother that a monkey's picture is being sold online.
Would you like to buy it ?
Not much, it's only for ₹20 crore rupees She said that we already have one Actually she was surprised, that why should I buy a ₹20 crore rupees from internet?
Do you think I'm crazy?
Instead I would prefer to download it or take a screenshot if I want ! And to be honest, If you would ask this question to a normal person, the answer would be the same So many people have these kind of confusions !
That how are NFTs working ?
Who is creating? Who is selling? Why is he selling? Why is the purchaser buying it on so expensive rates? And what will the purchaser do after buying it? So what is the system of NFTs .
Who is creating? And how?
How can you create? and earn money? And how can you have a bunch of profit after diving in this trend ? These all queries will be discussed in this video But before that make sure to watch the entire video, because all the steps are interlinked If you'll skip forward then all the preceding steps will be missed, and you won't understand, what is happening ! So let's start by understanding NFT . NFT stands for Non Fungible Tokens Non Fungible tokens means that it cannot be exchanged ! If you and I both have a ₹100 rupees note, and we both exchanged the notes, so the value will remain the same
But this could not be done in NFTs system You cannot exchange you NFTs In NFT, T stands for token and in this case, Token could be authority In this world, what's the proof that the downloaded photo in your phone is yours? No proof ! Genuine thing So token could validate this thing Everyone on the internet has to believe that the particular thing is yours So, NFT could be in any form - JPEG, PNG, GIF, article Any digitally created thing could be a NFT Even this article could be sold in the future, if anyone want to buy it? Whenver we do a deal in any NFT or purchase it, the NFT remains unchanged only the name of the purchaser get added So that everyone come to know that this particular thing(NFT) belongs to this person As we have 'Amazon' and 'Flipkart' to buy/sell goods, Likewise, we have specialized marketplaces for NFTs Some famous examples : WazirX, Enjin, OpenSea, Rarible ; You might have heard of them. To understand this in a better way, let's move on to their panel So this is WazirX Platform, So if you'll go to 'Discover', then you'll find all the digitally created things made and uploaded by different people to sell The name of the owners and price is mentioned below the NFT Here you can find cheap items as well as expensive items too For example, If I'll choose this picture named as 'Cube Buddy' So, here it's a 3-D model of a cube Suppose, if I ask a 3-D graphic designer for such model
So how much money he'll charge?
₹500, ₹700, ₹1000; not more than that?
But if you see here, you'll see "Minted by @NishaDroch" and then listed for 3.3 WRX (WRX is a token of WazirX) The value of this model is 3.62 USD This was listed on 29 October But just a week after that, a different user '@pratikkaduart' purchased this model on listed price After 2 months, '@pratikkaduart' listed the price to 95.92 USD (i.e, around ₹7000) So, in this case whenever anyone will open this The whole history will be listed; whosoever buys it, at what price,etc.
Nothing is hidden One more benefit is that the creator of these NFTs receives 'Royalty' It depends on the user to choose whether he wants Royalty or not, while uploading That the number of times the NFT will get resell, on every transaction the user can get Royalty; 2%, 5% or the amount determined by the creator If you see carefully, '@NishaDroch' sold this for 3.62 USD But if now '@pratikkaduart' sold this for 96 USD then suppose take 5% or 3%, so again '@NishaDroch' will receive $2-3 as a 'Royalty' and this process continues and is very beneficial for creators This is a reason why 3-D designers, Graphic designers, Character animators, VFX artists, and other professionals They could definitely work in this Even my sister is a Graphic Designer From some time, I am suggesting her also to invest in NFTs Because it's a trend, and "Trend is your Best Friend" In a trend, the early bidders obviously have an advantage And that's why, it's the right time if you want to create something like this digitally then it's a good opportunity for you So this was the explanation, Now let's see a tutorial, if you want to start this then how can you do this? So first of all, you'll need a wallet named "METAMASK" You can simply download this with your required option Mine is Brave browser, if you want to download this on Chrome then you can do the same there is no major difference So this Windows will appear,'Welcome to Metamask' You can click on 'Get Started'; you'll have a create a new walet So 'Agree' here, and make a strong rememberable password And remember there is no option of "Forgot Password" so keep your password with you safely So here you'll see a button "Click here to reveal secret words" As you'll click on this, 8-10 words will appear on your screen Keep these words also safe by taking screenshot or writing somewhere Because in case you forgot your password, then this phrase will be required Suppose you change your system; maybe due to Windows corrupt or anything else Then you cannot connect your wallet again before entering this phrase So Definitely It's very important So you'll see a panel like this This is entirely a Blockchain based system, and therefore Ethereum is used here Majority of the transactions are in Ethereum You can see the Panel here, you can also change your name by going to account details So now if you now go to WazirX or any other website, You need to connect your wallet; whether you are on WazirX, OpenSea,etc; but Metmask wallet is a must Now let's go to another platform, "OpenSea" Suppose if I want to sell anything So I'll go to profile, then select Metamask, and connect my wallet So a by-default account will be created where I can edit my details Upload Picture; and I'll have to provide approval for everything that I am doing the changes Once I have done setting up the profile So here it will show that how much have you created? how much collected? Suppose I want to create so I'll upload my Channel Logo as a picture
(Write a name)
After that, here is an option External link Basically if I have created a page/web site related to this so i can upload The purchaser might get some more knowledge about this before purchasing
Anything if I want to write in description I can If I want to create a kind of playlist that I can create using Collection option
And here is an option that I like, Unlockable Content Suppose I put it for selling and someone buys it
As someone will buy this; this NFT will be his, but with the NFT he will also get more information that I'll provide Like I can provide a 5-10 minutes video while making the logo as a Gift; or a Handwritten note or anything else After that it will ask that which Blockchain service you want to use?
Ethereum or Polygon ?
So as you will select the option and create it your item will be created and get listed on the website. As you can see it's listed with the given name Now suppose, I want to sell this so I'll click on sell button So it will ask that whether I want to keep a fixed price or an Auction?
(....bidding style....)
So here you can type how much amount you want in Ethereum ! Let's suppose I want 0.01 ETH which is equal to $33 dollars And after that I can also set the duration; 1day, 7days, or whatever time, after which this will be automatically sold to the highest bidder Service Fees is listed 2.5%, as the NFT will be sold, OpenSea will keep 2.5% from the sold price Now let's click on Complete Listing. And here's where the real talk begins If you observe carefully, it's stopping us from listing the item by showing that Gas Fees is charged on you of $236 dollars So what is Gas Fees? If we want to mint our item for selling, for that 'Gas Fees' is charged by all these networks But you can do this for free also, for that go in the edit section of your item and scroll down, and in Blockchains field, instead of Ethereum select Polygon. Now it feel like I should have selected this in the starting only, let me create a new one and show you So now I have uploaded with a different colour, and instead of Ethereum I have selected Polygon Now let's save this, and try to sell it Everything else is same as before, but now as you will click on 'Complete Listing'; so this kind of box will appear. Unlock Currency; after that this type of request will pop-up, you have to Sign it. As you'll click it will take around 8-10 seconds for the process to complete Now in the time this process is happening, let me tell you that there are many more marketplaces So before investing, you'll have to research what is in trending? And you'll have to be creative with your digital art so that you can have more price. So now the currency has been unlocked, and we have to sign another message also And finally you can see, that it is mentioned above "Your NFT is listed" So as you'll click on this, you can see that it is listed You can also search this on your computer, most probably you'll see it listed You'll also see the Buy Now option there, for me it's blocked because I am signed in with my account only. And you can even purchase it for $33 dollars. So while telling all this, I remembered one incident In the starting phase of Internet, there was a person who created his website named something Pixel He put every pixel on his website on sale for $1
All the companies went crazy after him and they understood that this is the future of online advertising.
All the companies were after for taking the biggest space in that box by giving 1-1 dollar.
And by the end of this, that person got $1 million; but the companies those who invested there didn't get any return of money. From this it is understood that the one who sells an idea earns more money.
So right an idea is being sold to us, a lot of people are collecting it so that they might kind of use it in Metaverse. Now there is no shortage of amateurs, we are going to create here, so we can sell things after making. So with a positive thought you can enter this field
See you tomorrow with a new article, till then "STAY SAFE, STAY SARCASTIC"
