In the first place, we have by , with about 7000 reads and 27% of the total votes. How to Make an NFT: Minting, Trading, and Monetizing for Beginners @falconite The audio-visual representation of an NFT comes from media files linked to the token's metadata. The media files can be static images, gifs, 3D objects, video, audio etc. They can be created anywhere by the artist and then hosted on any storage.

In the third place, we have by (13% votes) The Crypto Economy is Too Conservative and it's Your Fault @twkaiser Despite crypto’s apparent transparency, the world of crypto assets is actually a vast and opaque forest full of mud holes and pitfalls. In the end, the investment decisions you make do not only affect your personal wealth, but also the whole crypto ecosystem. So choose wisely which projects are worthwhile to support and which are merely quick cash-grabs that should be avoided. Learn what the industry is about and always do your own research before making any investment. Sure, this takes a lot of time, but it will ultimately pay off. On that note, see y'all next time, with more prizes and more contests coming your way! Keep an eye on for more details! contests.hackernoon.com
