Where Bitcoin was hailed as the digital answer to currency,
NFTs are now being touted as the digital answer to
collectables, but plenty of sceptics fear they're a bubble
waiting to burst.

It could be a house, or a painting such as the Mona Lisa,
which is one of a kind. You can take a photo of the painting
or buy a print but there will only ever be one original
painting.

Former Christie's auctioneer Charles Allsopp said the concept
of buying NFTs made "no sense". "The idea of buying something
which isn't there is just strange," he told the BBC.
The type of personal information we collect
-
It might sound ridiculous but the explosive market of
crypto-collectibles and crypto-art is no joke. I investigate
cryptocurrencies and have academic publications on Bitcoin
markets. To help you understand what an NFT is and why they’re
becoming so popular, here’s an explainer to make sense of it
all.
-
The bidding on Musk’s tweet has already topped $1 million and
millions more are pouring into the market — he has since
tweeted, “Actually, doesn’t feel quite right selling this.
Will pass.” And sites like NBA Top Shot (where you can buy,
sell and trade digital NBA cards) have individual cards
selling for over US$200,000.

A non-fungible token (NFT) is a digital file with verified
identity and ownership. This verification is done using
blockchain technology. Blockchain technology, simply put, is
an un-hackable system based on the mathematics of
cryptography. So, that’s why you hear a lot of “crypto” when
referring to NFTs — crypto-art, crypto-collectibles, etc.
How we collect personal information
-
Poised to radically reconfigure the crypto-asset market,
non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, are revolutionizing our
conception of money and value, creating not just entirely new
markets but even new economies that are able to scale globally
and to discover value in undreamt places, relegating to
oblivion fiat currencies and old ways of doing business.
-
Just kidding. The previous paragraph is a parody (if such is
possible) of the hype that in the first half of has come to
surround non-fungible tokens. Indeed, the hype has become so
overpowering that it may even defy parody. Non-fungible tokens
can have legitimacy, and I’ll discuss how that can be at the
end of this article. But for now the overwhelming majority of
what passes for NFTs is delusion, fueled by the hope of a
quick return and the belief that something can be gotten for
nothing (or virtually nothing).
-
But digital collectibles, whatever else they may be,
are—without exception or remainder—digital files. In other
words, they’re just strings of bits. As a string of bits, a
digital file has a fixed number of bits, with the bit at any
location in the string having a definite value of either zero
or one.

Fungibility is the ability of an asset to be interchanged with
other individual assets of the same kind; it implies equal
value between the assets. If you own a fungible asset you can
readily interchange it for another of a similar kind. Fungible
assets simplify the exchange and trade processes, and the best
example would be (you guessed it) money.

This is where I can explain and emphasize the
“non-fungibility” property of NFTs. The main difference
between NFTs and Bitcoins is the fact that Bitcoins are
limited, and fungible (you can trade one Bitcoin with another
and both have the same value and price). NFTs are unique but
unlimited, and non-fungible (no two artworks are the same).
While NFTs can appreciate in value (just like real estate),
they cannot be interchanged for another NFT.
