Invest NFT is a very bad idea

You’re probably thinking, “but why would I ever want to deal with non fungible tokens or NFTs?” Well, that’s because there are a couple of very practical reasons why you shouldn’t. Firstly, non fungible tokens are not very good for your long-term investment. Let’s take an example. You have just purchased a 5 million worth of NFTs from Coinbase. Your long-term investment is protected for the next three years — barring some catastrophic event? But even if you manage to maintain your long-term investment for the next three years, imagine what will happen once you hit five of those years! Without a doubt, these problems increase exponentially when you have a bear market — how much can you keep NFT value? It’s quite likely that you will be broke. 

What is a non fungible token?

A non fungible token is an crypto that is not from a recognized blockchain like Ethereum. After being offered for purchase, these tokens can be easily bought and sold on any exchanges you would think. However, they are extremely liquidated and hard to sell.

Proper use of tokens

When you want to buy or sell a single NFT, you can always purchase it with other cryptos. However, NFT is just a symbol of owning something that is ... useless...

Fees and charges on transactions

A transaction fee is charged when you make a payment with a cryptocurrency exchange. You can choose to pay this fee in fiat cash or a payment service like Coinbase’s Wallet.com. The transaction fee is a percentage of the amount of money you have just transferred. You can pay this fee in exchange for having access to the market for that particular crypto exchange. Some exchanges will charge you a trading fee in addition to the transaction fee. This is mainly to help cover their fees. 

What happens if we try to sell NFTs?

Creators will benefit from each transaction. That is all. Unless there are exclusive perks that follow of owning NFTs, there are no much value that you want to possess them. 

Conclusion

NFTs are not as what we expected them to be.
