The DEFI mining that is getting richer every day can only be accepted by the second line. Flow, which has been online for a hundred times, can only stare blankly. Dogecoin, which has skyrocketed overnight, can’t believe it. Do you feel that you have been in the currency circle all the time, but you always rub shoulders with opportunities? And pass? Why can't Gale ever blow money at home? This is an ever-changing circle, and many novel concepts and new technologies appear every day. If you always hold on to your previous investment ideas (except for fixed investment in BTC) and are unwilling to accept new knowledge, you will soon be left behind.

An uncle's change of NFT

When I first entered the circle in 2017, I couldn’t understand people’s obsession with crypto cats. A cat blocked Ethereum like that (later DEFI blocked it even harder), and it could sell up to a million? There has always been a prejudice against NFT projects, and such prejudice has continued until this year. At the beginning of the year, I began to pay attention to DEFI and participated in it. I basically played all the reliable DEFI platforms on the market, and received airdrops issued by various platforms (except MEME), but I still couldn’t understand NFT, so I naturally wouldn’t participate. Whale, MANA, and ENJ are all coins that have been known for a long time, but they have never had the idea of ​​​​starting. Until the blind box company Bubble Mart went public, I went to study the group of collectors, and suddenly believed in the saying "the hot spot in the currency circle in 2021 must belong to NFT".

All fun and money-making things will definitely become popular, it's just a matter of time.

Know what is NFT?

In fact, the concept of NFT exists in many places. Here I will introduce what NFT is in a simple way.

NFT (Non Fungible Token) is a non-homogeneous token. Simply put, the Bitcoin and Ethereum we usually buy are all homogeneous tokens. My ETH is no different from your ETH. Homogeneous token means that one of my encryption kitties is different from yours, and my piece of land on Decentraland is different from yours. For the same cat, maybe because of the difference in coat color, your $10 is worth $1 million to mine.

Why 2021 may be the year of NFT explosion?

1. Time of day

Bitcoin and Ethereum have broken their previous highs one after another, and a number of altcoins have also performed one after another. Dogecoin's ten times overnight has made many people smell the taste of a "crazy bull market".

"How crazy is the real bull market? Coins that double overnight like this happen every day, and some coins even rose by 50% at the opening and were scolded by fans to be self-closing." This is "Blockchain William" under Weibo a comment. The bull market has indeed come, and the bull market is accompanied by a lot of hyped hot money, and various concepts will be hyped up, and NFT, a fun and basic concept, must bear the brunt of it.

2. Geographical advantage

The popularity of DEFI in 2020 has made many users in the currency circle accustomed to using the Ethereum network for hundreds of thousands of fees, and it is still very slow. At the same time, many Layer2 networks are also developing rapidly. It is easier to develop applications on swap, develop user habits, and transfer to NFT.

3. Renhe

Compared with the CryptoKitties in 2017, the NFT in 2021 has been developed for four full years, and it is more mature, more interesting, and more convenient to use. Unlike the original single card collection game, the current NFT includes certificates, collectibles, artwork, game props, electronic tickets, combination with DEFI, virtual real estate, etc. from the perspective of usage scenarios. I am very grateful to the team that still insists on the encryption business I love in the long bear market, works quietly, and shines in the bull market.

How can ordinary beginners quickly get started with NFT?

1. Make NFT?

There are many platforms where NFTs can be made (minted). Any picture can be turned into an NFT online in a simple way. The process of casting is to store the information of the NFT on the chain.

1) rarebits (platform currency RARI token)

A platform that has almost disappeared has been brought back to life because of the launch of transaction mining on July 15, 2020 (only those who have traded NFT on the platform can obtain the platform currency RARI token).

2) OpenSea (no currency issued yet)

To say that in 2021, the platform that is very likely to airdrop tokens in the NFT field may be OpenSea, which has been working silently for nearly three years and has gradually become eBay in the NFT field. Buy, buy, buy) can also make NFT

3) cargo (platform currency Cargo Gems)

It is also a platform where you can buy and make NFT.

2. How to play NFT?

Only fun games will be played. The current NFT is no longer just a card collection level like it was in 2017, and there are various ways to play it. The main types of gameplay are introduced below.

1) It is still similar to the collection game of Cryptokitties. In addition to Cryptokitties, NBA fans are also very concerned about Dappers Labs' NBA Top Shot, which brings basketball fans into the field of blockchain games and provides NBA fans with a brand new star NFT Even an "instant" collection experience.

2) Virtual real estate games, Decentraland (MANA), Sandbox (SAND)

3）NFT+DEFI

MEME, the most noticeable thing is MEME, except that it started out as a joke but eventually created such a high market value, as well as its innovative gameplay.

MEME has two mining pools:

Deposit the ETH/MEME LP tokens on uniswap to mine the NFT of the Genesis Pool;

Deposit MEME tokens to mine the NFT of the Genesis Pool

First earn pineapple points with coins, and then you can exchange for NFT with enough pineapple points. During that time, a friend dug pineapples every day, and he was very dismissive. Later, he broke the thigh series.

DEGO,Adopting the concept of modular combination design, it is a Lego playing NFT. Except for pre-sale and airdrop, DEGO can only be obtained through liquid mining. Holding DEGO can participate in the decentralized community governance of the project, as can holding NFT.

the ui is really nice

Others include Aavagotchi (NFT+loan), WHALE (NFT+community)…

3. Should I pay attention to buying NFT coins?

Pay attention to Ethereum, if NFT will become hot this year, then most of the NFT tokens based on Ethereum will definitely have a wave of rise.

Pay attention to platforms that can be played. I am personally optimistic about the NFT+DEFI category, because it is very similar to last year’s liquidity mining, and it can attract people if it is profitable.

Idle money ambushes the front-row coins, and at the same time pays close attention to the new gameplay. Before that, you can go to OpenSea to buy an NFT that belongs to you.
