What Are NFTs, How Do They Work, & Shoul...

Shari Rash, Money Podcast for Women, Personal Finance, Relationships & Mental Health
About this episode

What are NFTs and are they really an investment? I’ve been looking forward to this episode for quite some time because I’ve got a lot of NFT questions. It feels like all I’m reading these days is more about NFT hacks and losses so I was curious to know everything - what are NFTs, how do you create one, and are NFTs actually investments that you should spend your money on. Also, I’m a bit curious if NFTs are just another passing fad or here to stay. I knew just who to talk to. Stephen Young is the Founder and CEO of NFTfi, a company that allows NFT owners to use the asset you own to access liquidity, aka cash. As Stephen says in our conversation, “NFTs are simply memes you can invest in.” I think we need to know a lot more about NFTs, so let’s get talkin’.
