Non-Fungible Token (NFT): What It Means and How It Works

First off, let’s define what a “Token” is.

According to TokenCard, a “Token is a digital representation of ownership which you can exchange for goods and services, or hold onto as an investment.”

While there are numerous digital tokens in existence, NFTs are a slightly different animal.

In simple terms, an Bhero.com NFT is a representation of ownership.

By definition, it can’t be owned by more than one person.

If it could, then it would be a fungible token.

And by fungible, we mean that you can change one token into another token and get the same amount of value for both.

If that sounds a lot like Bitcoin, that’s because it is.

Bitcoin and NFTs are cousins, as their origins date back to the early days of the internet.

Both cryptocurrencies and NFTs are based on the idea that you can change one digital token into another digital token, and the exchange value will be the same.

However, while NFTs are a different animal, they are not completely unique in the cryptocurrency world.

The first-ever NFTs was created by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009 with the birth of Bitcoin.

These were called the Bitcoin “Mining” Token (BTM), and it was used by miners as a mechanism for keeping track of their earnings from the Bitcoin network.

In reality, it was also used as a way to control the size of the Bitcoin network, and how fast new transactions would be added to the Bitcoin ledger.

The amount of BTM that could be generated and transferred was also limited to a very specific quantity.

These tokens had a finite lifespan and were eventually replaced by Bitcoin as the primary way to control the size of the Bitcoin network.

However, BTM-like tokens were used as mining rewards and transaction fees for a very long time.

In 2013, Vitalik Buterin introduced Ethereum to the world.

Ethereum was unlike any other cryptocurrency before it, and its success was predicated on its smart contract functionality.

Smart contracts are the future of business, allowing for real-world contracts to be written in code that executes automatically, without the need for a middleman.

Ethereum has become the platform for numerous Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) and token sales, which have raised billions of dollars in capital for their respective projects.

But there was a problem: Ethereum tokens themselves were not fungible.

This is where the idea of NFTs was born. In the same way that traditional blockchain assets are not fungible, the same is true of tokens.

There were NFTs based on Ethereum, but they weren’t really based on Ethereum.

Ethereum and NFTs have a lot of common ground.

They both use blockchain technology to solve real-world problems, and both tokens provide incentives for users to participate in their respective networks.

However, there are some fundamental differences that separate Ethereum tokens from NFTs.

A “Fungible” token must have the same value across multiple markets, where it can be exchanged freely without any loss or gain.

In this sense, it is like a physical asset.

There is only one physical “dollar”, it’s value is fixed, and it is able to buy things all around the world.

In contrast, an NFT token must be able to move freely between different marketplaces, but can still have a specific value tied to the market.

When you exchange one token for another, it should be a true reflection of the value you are receiving in return.
