Great article Tomas! I think it’s interesting you mention that the process of creating, buying, and selling NFTs is relatively simple and does not require further expertise or cryptocurrencies. I have been doing some research on this topic myself and I would have to say the process is a lot easier said than done! An interesting article I found was on CNN. Long-story-short, the CNN Business team decided the best way to understand the craze around NFTs would be to buy one themselves. To do so, they “required not one but two wallet apps, a familiarity with a lesser-known denomination of a cryptocurrency and, perhaps most important of all, a discerning eye in sifting through an endless number of NFTs, ranging from pixelated wizards and tuxedo-wearing bulls to many, many portraits of Elon Musk.” (source: https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/14/tech/nft-art-buying/index.html).

I don’t think I’ll be creating, buying, and selling NFTs any time soon. But I’ll probably continue diving down rabbit holes, trying to understand these million-dollar digital art pieces.

Another interesting source I wanted to share: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/09/business/nft-bitcoin-stocks-bonds.html
