NFT: From Zero to Hero

Rate this book
From the beginning of 2020, everybody's talking about Web 3.0 and the metaverse, where even Facebook changed its company’s name to Meta. The reason is simple - the fundamental aspect is NFTs.

The digital age comes with its own lexicon, a bewildering array of buzz words and acronyms designed to confuse as much as they are to inform. Many new terms have found their way into our everyday vocabularies, although the meanings often get confused and blurred.

You must be a person who is both curious about the world and has read many news articles about NFTs. However, I guess these articles were not able to answer all your questions, and you want to know how best to start your NFT journey.

- Why would someone be willing to pay millions of dollars for a PFP (profile picture)? What’s the value behind it?

- Many actors and singers have also released their own NFTs. However, the price quickly dropped by half after their launch. What's going on?

- Nike, Adidas, Gucci, Hermès— it seems that big companies globally are entering the NFT market but how do we differentiate those seriously deploying from those just trying to take a cut from the hype?

- According to statistics, in the first quarter of 2022, the transaction volume of NFTs reached $26 billion, exceeding the whole of 2021. However, another set of data tells you that the NFT market is down by 92%. Who should we trust? Is NFT the future, or is it just a bubble?

We can see that the NFT market is on fire, but it also comes with a lot of chaos. This is the task I want to accomplish in this book: I will help you to discover the essence of NFTs below the surface of hype and chaos, as well as teach you how to master NFT step by step.

8,000 copies of the book have already been sold on Bybit NFT Marketplace on 15 August 2022. With a total trading value of more than $186,000 currently.

In this tome, Anndy Lian crafts an attractive and manageable guide for anyone looking to comprehend the thriving world of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). As both an experienced blockchain advocate and a business tactician, Lian delivers an intuitive and balanced narrative that deciphers NFTs for beginners while providing actionable strategies for those looking to dive deeper into the industry. The book starts with the basics, breaking down what NFTs are, how they work, and why they matter. Lian's approachable writing style ensures that even readers with no prior knowledge of blockchain or cryptocurrencies can follow along easily. He explains complex concepts like smart contracts, token standards, and decentralized marketplaces without overwhelming the audience. What sets this book apart is its real-world approach. Lian doesn't just explicate the theory behind NFTs; he walks the reader through real-world applications across industries such as art, gaming, fashion, and music. He also examines the economic and cultural impacts of NFTs, offering thoughtful commentary on how they are reshaping the digital landscape. Speaking about the positives of this book, we must begin by saying that the author has a knack for simplifying jargon-heavy topics. His clear examples and analogies make the book a user-friendly introduction to NFTs. Secondly, from history and technology to investment stratagems and future trends, the book leaves no stone unturned. It provides readers with a rock-hard groundwork and prepares them with the tools to navigate the NFT bionetwork. Lian doesn't shy away from discussing the challenges and controversies surrounding NFTs, such as environmental concerns, speculative bubbles, and legal implications. This composed approach lends trustworthiness to his arguments. For readers interested in leveraging NFTs for personal or professional advance, the book offers practical advice on how to create, buy, sell, and invest in NFTs. Nonetheless, the book has its fair share of weaknesses too. While the book is highly informative, some sections may feel overly simplified for readers with prior experience in blockchain or cryptocurrency. Additionally, the rapid pace of NFT innovation means that certain aspects of the book might become outdated quickly, though this is a challenge inherent to writing about emerging technologies. However it begs mention that this book ideal for both beginners seeking a clear and comprehensive introduction to NFTs to entrepreneurs and creators exploring opportunities in the NFT space. To conclude, in this book you have an excellent resource for anyone curious about the NFT phenomenon. With its blend of technical explanations, practical advice, and forward-thinking analysis, the book empowers readers to navigate the fast-evolving NFT landscape confidently. Whether you're a learner or an impresario considering your first foray into NFTs, this book is a valuable starting point.

This book is not just an ordinary book. The book is an NFT itself. The song that comes together with the book is an NFT too. The music video that comes with the song is an NFT as well. Communities can also participate and be part of the book to create more NFT assets together. NFT is limitless.

This book..... I was very impressed with it. I read a lot of novels and fan fiction, but she... For the first time, I felt so devastated that the book was over. It was precisely because of her that I would erase my memory in order to re-experience all these emotions.
