Cryptocurrency is any form of currency which exists digitally or virtually and uses cryptography to secure the transactions. Cryptocurrencies don’t have a central issuing or regulating authority, instead they use a blockchain system to record transactions and issue new units.
What is a Blockchain?

You may decide to buy an NFT because you like the digital image, for much the same reasons as you would buy a physical painting. You could also buy an NFT as a form of investment which you might chose to re-sell at some point.
Should I re-sell my NFT or hold onto it?
