There is a high chance that you have come across the term NFT. Either, while learning about cryptocurrencies, or during your trades. So, what is an NFT? NFT stands for Non-Fungible Token. These tokens cannot be exchanged, and are digitally stored. Non-fungible means that it cannot be traded with or replaced by something else. Think of an NFT as a playing card that you cannot give ownership rights to, unlike cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, which can either be traded or replaced with another form.
So, what is the bottom line? Well, you can easily debunk these myths if you try out blockchain and its functionalities, and despite all the misconceptions, blockchain is doing pretty well in the market.
The more you unravel the myths, the more confident you will feel when dealing with the blockchain and with these common myths now cleared up, you can proceed with your blockchain journey worry-free!

The concept of Astralis first came to me during the bull market of 2017,
China had announced they were banning ICO’s and the market had dropped considerably. For those who were involved in cryptocurrencies at the time, ICO’s always seemed like a bubble but following the price drop, Bitcoin recovered very swiftly and the ICO boom continued that year.
By the end of 2017, the total market cap of the industry peaked at almost $800 billion with Bitcoin touching $20,000 per coin. Everything seemed to be moving perfectly until the great crash. Bitcoin plummeted, as did the wider market, and what seemed to be the slowest year ever for crypto ensued. The year 2018 felt like a never-ending abyss for all that were involved. We were in a bear market.
Post the great crash, interest in cryptocurrencies waned, panic sellers were dumping their bags like it was the apocalypse and ultimately the retail investors were the ones who lost. Much of the information surrounding cryptocurrencies leading up to the crash became less about education and more about aggressive marketing to make retail investors part with their cash. So why do retail investors lose money?
The world has seen multiple variations of mediums of exchange.

And, since all the signs point in the direction of cryptocurrency becoming the medium of exchange of tomorrow, we have made the smart decision regarding crypto. What’s stopping you?

Blockchain has gained widespread acceptance in specific industries and processes, even though many people remain sceptical about it. One of the most talked about blockchain projects is Decentralized Finance (DeFi).
The most significant benefit of smart contracts is the increased level of automation they afford. This automation will go a long way if it allows companies to simplify many aspects of their operations. Not only that, but it also resolves any problems in systems where trust is an issue.
Using smart contracts for Digital Identification is an obvious decision. Individual identification is a key tool in this. Digital properties such as name and reputation are also included and it opens up a whole host of exciting new possibilities for users when used correctly. Digital identification also helps to protect the identity from counter-parties whilst making it possible to be exchanged with the companies it requires.
