THE EASY EXPLANATION

NFTs are simply pieces of digital art (Images, Videos, Songs, etc.) that can bought, sold, and traded as collectibles. These items can gain or lose value (just like physical collectibles) based on many different factors.

Each NFT is unique as it holds Meta Data (digital information like: Mint #, Rarity, Etc.) that keeps every single NFT different and in itself could help determine it’s value.
