Exploded in popularity, NFTs are a buzzword in the digital world nowadays. NFTs first came into existence in 2014, but the technology never became widely known until 2021, when a little-known artist sold a piece of digital artwork for USD 69 million at an auction. This ignited the massive boom that NFTs are experiencing today. Ever since the spark of the NFT market, various criticisms and questions have been raised. It is just a crypto fad or an elaborate scam due to the unclear nature of the technology.
There are some misconceptions about NFTs that are worth clearing up.
🏆 1 - NFTs Are Not Real Ownership Tokens
NFTs are essentially distinct and exist on a trustless blockchain, according to enthusiasts, who frequently assert that this serves as evidence that one "owns" a digital asset. There is only one token like this, and since you hold it in your cryptocurrency wallet, everything it represents must belong to you. For a variety of reasons, this framing is deceptive. NFTs can only transfer ownership of the token itself. Instead, links to assets hosted elsewhere are frequently included in NFTs. The copyright, storage, or usage rights to the asset itself are not transferred via the NFT.
🏆 2 - You Can't Exchange Digital Items Between Games or Apps with NFTs
One more absurd assertion about NFTs is that enabling players to transfer digital things from one game or platform to another will allow the actual metaverse. And while this is technically feasible for fundamental data, such as photographs, it is virtually impossible for sophisticated objects, such as items from video games. Some game engines use Y as the vertical axis, while others use Z; this might lead to a roadblock.
🏆 3 - Artists may lose more money due to NFTs than they earn
One analysis from the Alan Turing Institute, which focused mainly on data from OpenSea, found that 75 percent of NFTs sell at all go for less than $15. In contrast, the majority never sell in the first place. Only 1 percent traded above $1,500.
🏆 4 - NFT is not valuable with marketing?
The value of an NFT comes from the popularity it denotes, which is not generally something that exists in the digital world, like an original piece of art or digital memorabilia. The NFT does not necessarily contain the digital property but points to its location on the blockchain. Like a concert ticket or a deed to physical property, an NFT reflects the value it represents.
🏆 5 - 100% of the Future of art and collectibles will not represent NFTs?
Artists, musicians, athletes, celebrities, and others find NFTs attractive because they offer a new and unique way to sell their wares, GIFs, memes, and tweets to fans. NFTs also provide artists an opportunity to program in continued royalties if it is sold to a new owner. Galleries see the potential for reaching a new generation of collectors. Undoubtedly, the NFT market is emerging as an exciting marketplace for artists and buyers very soon. But this will not cover 100% of the Future of the art and collectibles industry because the existing industry arts and collectibles industry goes for a longer time. Still, some people love collecting them.
