Quick FAQ's about NFTS
1. Aren't NFT's bad for the ecosystem?
Short answer: Not in this situation. NEAR is carbon neutral, and Paras benefits from that fact by powering their site on NEAR.
2. Why do people pay money for a jpeg?
Short answer: Why do people pay money for any art? Because they want to 1) support the artist or creator, 2) they want to own that art. Now dream bigger than what we're seeing here -- imagine being the owner of an NFT or digital piece allowed you to connect with the creator in other, exclusive ways. Like a patreon sub, but as a one time purchase that you as the owner can then sell to someone else. The possibilities are endless.
