Jake Brukhman, cofounder and CEO of CoinFund, explains why people are excited about non-fungible tokens, how they can be used, and what new behaviors and businesses they might enable. He discusses:
- what a NFT or non-fungible token is
- how they can be “liquid intellectual property”
- what kinds of digital assets can be turned into NFTs
- what new types of behaviors and new products and services can be created based off NFTs
- why consumers would prefer to use an NFT photo or song vs. one from Shutterstock or Spotify
- why someone would want to buy an NFT when it’s so easy to make digital copies of things like art or ebooks or mp3s
- how disputes over digital objects could be adjudicated in a global marketplace
- how NFTs enable fractionalized ownership
- how NFTs can be used as collateral to manage risk
- how NFTs are combining with DeFi to create NFTFi
- how NFTs and NFTFi bring non-crypto people in to the space and expose them to finance
- why the NFT space is much bigger than people probably expect, and how it’s drawing a new crowd to crypto
