Some Crazy NFT Deals

NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are altering the way we think about art, and investors are taking note.

NFTs have risen to the forefront of the crypto world in the last year. Artists have taken use of the technology’s ability to generate real-world scarcity for digital goods, thanks to cryptographically unique tokens.

Before we start: What are NFTs?

NFTs are non-exchangeable digital property rights. Anyone who buys an NFT, for example, a photo, gets the sole right to it, secured on the blockchain. You can find detailed info about NFTs here.

So today we are taking a look at some ridiculously expensive NFTs ever sold and will leave you to judge their true value.

There you have it folks: Some Crazy NFT Deals

Ocean Front: $6 Million
