What is an NFT?
NFT is the acronym for non-fungible token. According to an article by Forbes, an NFT has "a unique value and cannot be exchanged for another of equal value."
NFTs can be anything digital, including digital art, GIFs, collectibles, and even videos. Anyone can make NFTs as well. Weird Whales, a collection of whale NFTs, was created by a 12-year-old boy from London named Benyamin Ahmed.
