🧠 NFTs & DAOs: The Weird, the Wild, and the Wonderfully Decentralised

 

 

🎨 NFTs – Non-Fungible What Now?

Let’s keep it simple:

NFT stands for Non-Fungible Token, which just means it's unique and can't be swapped 1:1 like money.

Think of NFTs like digital collectibles, memberships, art, event tickets, or even game items — but with a fancy tech twist.

They're stored on the blockchain so ownership is verifiable and can’t be faked or stolen easily (unless you hand over your keys — don’t do that).

 

Examples of NFTs:

  • Art (like those pixelated punks or trippy monkeys)
  • Music, videos, and GIFs
  • Virtual land
  • Gaming assets (like swords, skins, characters)
  • Tickets to events
  • Proof of ownership or identity

 

It’s like owning a signed vinyl record — but instead, it lives in your digital wallet.

 

🗳️ DAOs – The Internet’s Group Chat With a Treasury

DAO = Decentralised Autonomous Organisation

It’s like a democratic online club where rules are enforced by smart contracts, not people with clipboards.

Members vote on proposals using tokens — from what to build next, to how to spend community funds.

No CEO. No manager. Just the group calling the shots.

 

What DAOs Do:

  • Manage NFT communities
  • Run investment clubs
  • Fund charities or projects
  • Decide the future of DeFi protocols
  • Govern games and metaverse worlds

 

🤝 Where NFTs & DAOs Meet

Many NFT projects become DAOs to let the community decide things like artwork, roadmaps, and funding.

Owning an NFT can also be your membership pass to a DAO.

Some DAOs use NFT sales to fund themselves, or tie votes to NFT holdings.

 

🧭 Why It All Matters:

This is web3 in action: creators own their work, fans have a voice, and random people on the internet build stuff together.

 

Web3? Now you've lost me.
