    NFTs are considered a form of cryptocurrency because they utilize blockchain technology, just like traditional cryptocurrencies. However, unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum, which are fungible and can be exchanged on a one-to-one basis, NFTs are unique and indivisible digital assets. Each NFT represents ownership of a specific item or piece of content, such as artwork, music, or collectibles. This uniqueness and scarcity make NFTs highly valuable and sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.

    Think of NFTs as digital certificates of authenticity. They provide proof of ownership and provenance for digital assets. While Bitcoin and Ethereum are primarily used as digital currencies, NFTs go beyond that by representing ownership of unique digital items. This has opened up new possibilities for artists, creators, and collectors to monetize and trade digital creations in a secure and transparent manner.
