If you haven’t followed NFTs, here’s why you should start

  NFTs (non-fungible tokens) — or scarce digital content represented as tokens — are driving a new wave of crypto adoption. Thanks to the Ethereum blockchain, artists, gaming companies and content creators alike are utilizing token standards, which ascribe provenance to uniquely distinguishable assets.  NFTs first made headlines in 2017 when Dapper Labs’ game  CryptoKitties  accounted for 95% of Ethereum network usage at its peak.  While someone paying $170,000 for a digital cat seemed like an anomaly, what’s happening today blows that headline out of the water.
