NFTs & Digital Ownership (Path Part 7 of 10)
Understand what NFTs really are, their real uses, and how to avoid the scams.
This is Part 7 of the From Zero to Confident crypto learning path. NFTs are widely misunderstood, so this course cuts through the hype. You'll learn what a non-fungible token actually is, how ownership and metadata work, and the genuine use cases beyond profile-picture art. We'll cover minting, marketplaces, royalties, and the many risks, from wash trading to fake collections. This is educational content, not financial advice, and never a suggestion to buy any NFT.
