In this article, I will try to explain NFTs in simple words. You need to understand the difference between fungible and non-fungible to understand NFTs easily.

It doesn’t matter if you have a ₹1000 note, two ₹500 notes, or ten ₹100 notes, The value of your two ₹500 notes is still ₹1000 Rupees. Absolutely Not.

For example, If you have 1 BTC, you can send .5 BTC to your friend but it’s not possible with NFTs. You cannot send .5 NFT to your friend and cannot keep .5 to yourself. If you want to send someone an NFT, you will have to send a full NFT and make sure to get back the same NFT because each NFT is unique.
