Some people still think that NFTs are a passing craze. Unfortunately, they are wrong. NFT sales have been growing over the years, and more people are joining the big movement. Moreover, their uses are expanding beyond the confinements of media and art.
Some people refer to NFTs as unique digital collectables with little benefit. However, the media and entertainment industry has been using NFTs to increase their significance successfully. Consequently, this act is reshaping the future of business, healthcare and even finance.
If you are by any chance doubting the potential of NFTs, brace yourself because, although they are still in their early stages, they have a lot of potential. To give you an idea of what the future might look like, look at the growth of Bitcoin over the years.
Bitcoin came into the market in 2009. Then, people were very skeptical about it. Today, it is a different story because it is the largest cryptocurrency, and everybody wants to have a piece of it. Public companies, celebs, non-profit organizations and even some countries have widely invested in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Therefore, it is just a matter of time before everyone starts fighting to be associated with NFTs.
