What is the best way to make a free NFT?
In this article, I’ll show you how to make a free NFT. It’s easier than you may think to make, or’mint,' an NFT, and so’s just as easy to do it for free. I’ll be concentrating on generating a single NFT artwork in this tutorial rather than minting generative NFTs or an NFT collection.So, what exactly are NFTs? These non-fungible tokens have swept the globe, but they're not quite as complicated as they appear. NFTs are a method of registering a digital file on a cryptocurrency blockchain to ensure that it is a one-of-a-kind object and to demonstrate ownership. We have a complete guide on how to produce and sell an NFT, but I'll teach you how to make one for free right now.

NFT IP:
Representing what is perhaps the most cutting-edge new investment phenomenon of this past year, non-fungible tokens are the new crypto craze, just a short five years after most of us started learning about Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the various ‘alt coins’. Of course, with new technological developments arise a host of novel legal issues, stretching the limits of traditional intellectual property law. Hence, this brief survey of the still-nascent NFT relative to existing IP.

Introducing the OG Gallery 2.0
One year ago, I published my first article outlining Creatd’s NFT strategy. At that time, it was clear that our investors and other stakeholders were keen on understanding how our creator-first company would capture value in the new digital frontiers of blockchain, crypto, and their derivative technologies (i.e. NFTs, metaverse lands). We spent the intervening months exploring opportunities within the blockchain space, including experimenting with numerous NFT art drops, pursuing the potential integration of cryptocurrency into the Vocal platform, and using smart contracts for other e-commerce platform opportunities currently in the works.

How to Mint, Collect and Trade NFTs
In times of geopolitical crisis and uncertainty, I will shed some light on how to trade NFTs using the example of OpenSea which is the one of the largest platform for NFT minting, trading, as well as analytics tracking for the largest NFT projects on Ethereum network. OpenSea won the hearts of the artists and collectors due to lazy, ‘gas-less’ minting without additional fees (after you initialize your account for sales for the first time).

A Gross Simplification of the NFT Market: What You Need to Know Now
At recent family dinner my mother told me she couldn't understand how these NFT's could be worth so much money. I told her actually she did understand: These hyperlinks to ugly cartoon apes seem like they should be worthless, because they are worthless. It's a scam.

I crowdfunded a novel using crypto (and minted the chapters as NFTs)
I was recently texting back and forth with a certain startup founder turned angel investor turned crypto enthusiast named Scott Paul. He’s something of a personality in Utah’s crypto scene—not only has he successfully founded and funded four startups (and invested in countless others), but he also owns an eccentric number of wigs and has a tendency to teach crypto classes at BYU dressed like Jesus—this is kind of what he is going for.

Welcome to the NFT World
I got involved in the NFT world only two weeks ago. I had no idea of what it was before then. NFTs are still considered to be in the early stages since the first known use of the word NFT was in 2017.
