Utility — the state of being useful, profitable, or beneficial. When you own something that is used a lot, you receive more value over time.

We talked about how NFTs will change the future and in that post we focused on this idea of ownership. Today, most of the NFT market is dominated by collectibles, profile pictures, community ac...

To start, let us think back to a simpler time, a time when you could only purchase art from a local artist, and when art collecting was reserved for a select group of connoisseurs usually employed by museums and rich people.
