NFTs are designed to give you something that canāt be copied: ownership (though a creator can still retain copyright).
Much like how physical art collecting is seen as a value-holding investment, now so are NFTs. However, instead of receiving an oil painting on canvas š¼ļø to hang on your wall, you get a JPG/MP3/GIF/etc file š¤·š¾āāļø.

Selling NFTs could be like selling a van Gogh painting, except instead of getting to appreciate a physical copy of something, you get a trading card.

The process is incredibly energy inefficient on purpose, making the "miners" use up inordinate amounts of electricity (that they have to pay, for making it less profitable for them to mess up).
