A CEO of an XR and web3 experience agency, an NFT collector and champion of MN-based entrepreneurs, and a visual artist obsessed with robots walk into a bar...

 

the NFT_Curious team hosted a panel discussion to demystify all things NFT - from sharing their first NFT experience to unpacking the blockchain, web3, the metaverse, and more. Enjoy a great conversation hosted live at the Hewing Hotel on November 11th, 2022.

New to NFTs? No problem

Purchasing an NFT is a simple three step process: 

 

Step 1: Set up a crypto wallet

Your crypto wallet will interact with blockchain integrated websites (like OpenSea), be your method of payment, and allow you to buy, access, sell, and trade NFTs. 

 

I use a metamask wallet, along with 21 million other folks around the globe. It is available in the App Store, as a plugin on your browser, and is super easy to use.

​

Follow these step by step instructions to set up a metamask wallet

Step 2: Get some Crypto

You have a wallet, let's get some Crypto! If you are purchasing an NFT_Curious piece, you will need to purchase some ETH, the digital currency required for transactions on the Ethereum blockchain.

​

You can buy ETH... 

  • directly through the metamask wallet once downloaded

  • through a digital exchange like Coinbase (also a great place to keep an eye on the ever-changing value of ETH against the dollar). You will have to send the ETH to your wallet after purchase. 

  • Helpful hints...​

    • Use a debit card or connect directly to your bank account (Apple Pay works great!)
    • A heads up that government regulations for some transactions will require that you verify your identity (e.g. social security number, drivers, license photo, etc.) 
    • $50 of ETH will typically open up more quotes and offer better deals on processing fees... it is also the price point we have asked artists to consider for this show

    • Consider gas fees - take out a a bit more than price of the desired NFT

Step 3: Buy an NFT_Curious piece already! 

Head back to the Meet the artist section​...

  • Follow the artists' links - likely to an OpenSea storefront

  • Find a piece that you love

  • Connect your metamask wallet (revisit the wallet set up or this play-by-play video!) 

  • Click the Buy Now button

  • Follow the prompts in your wallet

  • Check the NFTs tab in your wallet or "collected" tab in OpenSea and swoon over your new piece... you did it!
