Non-Fungible Token (NFT)

Why are NFTs Popular Now?

NFTs have caught on as the new craze in recent times or so it seems. According to an article on nftwolf.io, one of the reasons why NFTs are popular is because they're unique, which is rightly so as the term "non-fungible" implies.

Who doesn't want to be part of the new craze, right? From my perspective, it's at least true for young people? Because young people love to follow what's trending now? But I believe that as NFTs become more mainstream, there'll be more and more older people who'd be interested. 

My 1st Music NFT Collection

I recently created my first collection on Opensea, which is a decentralised marketplace for buying and selling of NFTs. 

Because of some imperfections on one of the NFTs in the collection, I decided to delete it. However, I couldn't (!) and I've yet to find out why.

My Experience Minting My Music NFTs on Opensea

Surprisingly, I found it easy to mint the NFTs on Opensea. To be honest, I didn't expect it to be so much easier than building my music website. And the entire process, including setting up my metamask wallet, was quite a breeze.

Minting NFTs somehow excites me, partly because I love learning new things; but more so because I feel a sense of accomplishment to be able to navigate the world of NFTs with relative ease. Contrast that with learning how to build my music website and the reason becomes more apparent.

If you'd like a step-by-step guide on how to mint your NFT on Opensea for free, please check out this article on https://www.marianasanchez.net. 

Use Polygon Without Any Gas Fees

Generally, in order to mint NFTs on any platforms, you'll have to pay gas fees. But if you're new to the world of NFTs like me and you're not prepared to pay any gas fees, you might want to mint your NFTs on Polygon, which is a Layer 2 solution, according to coincentral.com. 

Polygon Has the Latest Security Protocols

Besides the fact that you could mint your NFTs for free on Polygon, there's apparently another plus point. And that is, it has the latest security protocols, which serve to protect your transactions from potential hackers.

Music NFT & Marketplace

If you're a musician and you'd like to create a music NFT or a collection of music NFTs, you could check out NFT music marketplaces such as musicianmarketplace.com and airnfts.com.

Definition of Animal Euthanasia Animal euthanasia is the act of killing an animal humanely, most commonly with injectable drugs. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_euthanasia ) It's  a method of killing that minimises pain, distress, and anxiety experienced by the animal before the loss of consciousness.

Do You Eat Dog Meat?

Image
  Around early 2022, I watched a video of a big dog being forced by a man to go up to a truck. The man was apparently a dog meat trader in a certain part of China. He was using a sharp tool to grip the dog’s neck, which obviously caused it pain and made it fearful as could be seen from its expression. There were other dogs on the truck. It was a sad sight to behold. There were quite a lot of onlookers around. I was shocked that none of them intervened. I knew it could get them into trouble with the dog meat trader if they were to intervene. But if some of them had stepped forward to help the poor dog, it was very likely to be saved. Surely they could buy it or at least call an animal shelter? How could they be so indifferent to the way the dog meat trader handle it? Dogs aren’t poultry. They are supposed to be pets doted by humans, not killed and eaten as food, isn’t it? Moreover, dogs are said to be very loyal. So how could anyone have the heart to kill and consume them? Okay, I k
