Another title of this episode could have been: "How to explain to your friends what NFTs are and why they have value.."

On this episode I not only breakdown what fungible and non-fungible are and why the words are so awkward to say but I also share examples, ideas and tangible stories that hopefully help you see exactly what an NFT is.  

I also breakdown the importance of understanding that NFTs are one of four entry points into the Web 3.0 / Creator Economy, the others being: Cryptocurrency, Creator Coins and Metaverse/Gaming.

After we define NFTs I share 9 real-world examples, some from many moons ago, that had NFT aspects or could have really used the blockchain to prevent big macs from being scammed. 

The 9 examples I breakdown are: 

Card collecting with my Dad "certificate of authority" + rarirty + verification of quality

Myspace: Top 9

Monopoly Game McDonalds

Foursquare

UnTapped

Pokemon Go

Facebook badges (Rings around profile photo)

Jeep Life "Jeep wave" "jeep slogan" but no Jeep digital signal or connection to the Jeep I own.

Steelers season ticket holder

Finally, I wrap by answering what I believe are two of the most common questions you will get after you start talking about NFTs with your friends or family.

2 Most common questions answered:

What makes these JPEGs worth money?

Is this legit and for how long and if so am I too late?

More details coming soon on the Mint 365 experience where we are minting an NFT every day till 11.11.22 and how I'm going to open-up percentage of ownership on the project as well.  

Lastly here are some valuable resources to bookmark that have helped me on this NFT deep-dive.
