Everything You Need To Know About Blockchain Technology Investments.
What is a Blockchain in simple words?
Blockchain Defined: Blockchain is a shared, immutable ledger that facilitates the process of recording transactions and tracking assets in a business network. An asset can be tangible (a house, car, cash, land) or intangible (intellectual property, patents, copyrights, branding).

Non-Fungible Token
ONLY ONE CAN BE CREATED AND NEVER CHANGED, DUPLICATED OR DESTROYED.
NFT stands for Non-Fungible Token. It's generally built using the same kind of programming as cryptocurrency, like Bitcoin or Ethereum, but that's where the similarity ends. Physical money and cryptocurrencies are “fungible,” meaning they can be traded or exchanged for one another.
Whereas NFTs are Very Rare by the nature of its Creation. A signal NFT is one of the rarest items to purchase in the world.
NFT assets are stored on the Blockchain as a real but digital assets that will grow with the value of the Coin Connected To The Trading Hardware.
This Means, if you own an NFT asset today for 1.0 ETH. @3,000 USD,
As the Value of ETH Raises so does the value of your NFT asset.
When ETH value raises to $10,000 Your NFT asset will be worth $10,000 as well, AWESOME!

NFT Functions.
NFTs exist on a blockchain, which is a distributed public ledger that records transactions. You’re probably most familiar with blockchain as the underlying process that makes cryptocurrencies possible.
Specifically, NFTs are typically held on the Ethereum blockchain, although other blockchains support them as well.
An NFT is created, or “minted” from digital objects that represent both tangible and intangible items, including:
Art
DeFi Investments
GIFs
Videos and sports highlights
Collectibles
Virtual avatars and video game skins
Designer Sneakers and Clothing
Music
Even tweets count. Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey sold his first ever tweet as an NFT for more than $2.9 million.
Essentially, NFTs are like physical collector’s items, only digital. So instead of getting an actual oil painting to hang on the wall, the buyer gets a digital file instead.
They also get exclusive ownership rights. That’s right: NFTs can have only one owner at a time. NFTs’ unique data makes it easy to verify their ownership and transfer tokens between owners. The owner or creator can also store specific information inside them. For instance, artists can sign their artwork by including their signature in an NFT’s metadata.

What You Need to Know.
NFTs are unique cryptographic tokens that exist on a blockchain and cannot be replicated. NFTs can represent real-world items like artwork and real estate. "Tokenizing" these real-world tangible assets makes buying, selling, and trading them more efficient while reducing the probability of fraud.

Blockchain Technology.
A collection of data stored as digital data Blocks, once the Blocks are full of Data, they are linked to a chain of new Blocks that can be filled with new data.
These Chains are linked on a transparent network that’s available to the public as a BLOCKCHAIN of Unaltered Data Information.
-
DeFi.
DECETRALIZED - FINANCE
Three PILLERS of Blockchain Technology
Decentralization
Transparency
Immutability
-
Decentralized-
Data is stored on multiple computers around the world.
NO Person, Corporation, Government, Authority or Entity can control ANY Aspect of the data.
Blockchain recordings in storage protocols make sure that data is Verified, Unmodified and distributed across a vast amount of computers around the world.
It’s hard to destroy and no one person or entity controls the Data or Network, this creates a transparent environment to trust.
DeFi Ecosystems - Ethereum
Bitcoin and Ethereum are both used as tradable assets on Blockchain technology with different purposes.
Bitcoin can be used as a digital currency that people can use as a form of payment to send to and from each other or hold as a store of value.
Ethereum is a programmable Blockchain that people can build software on to create valuable products and services.
Due to decentralization Blockchain Technology, the software built on ETHER are called Decentralize Applications, or DAPPS for short.
Centralized is controlled by the federal reserve and controls all banking system., This takes more time and money because it is controlled by Banking Corporations.
The Blockchain is an Open Source of Software for the world to use at light speed without Penalties or Fees.
-
Transparency-
All Blockchain Transactions will host a Public ledger to see every live transaction as it happens.
You can verify all sales connected to each transaction with a connected link located on the date of the transaction.
This link will take you to the Data Base
-
Immutability-
Means the date on the ledger cannot be Changed, Forged or Altered on Cryptography and Blockchain hashing Processes.
In the nature of DAPPS, it inspired the idea in crusade towards DeFi in November 2018.
It is to replace or transform the current financial system into a more Transparent and Trustworthy System that everyone can use.

How are Ethereum Blockchain-based software applications able to operate if it’s not on or controlled by a Central Entity or Authority?
Three Layers How ETHEREUM Works.
Base layers of a vast network of computers called NODES.
NODES are connected to the Internet with software installed that runs the Ethereum Blockchain.
This base layer of NODES is where transaction data is Processed, Validated, Broadcasted and Stored.
As NODES process and publish transaction data to the Blockchain they are rewarded with ETHER.
ETHER is Ethereum’s Native Currency.
ETHER works similar to BITCOIN, it can be used for payment or act as a store of value.
ETHER was designed to fuel the ETHEREUM’S Network.
-
Another layer at the top of Ethereum’s base Hardware layer is the Software layer.
This Software tare supports a digital language library that consists of codes in SOLIDITY, VYBER and more.
Using these Computer languages, developers can write Smart Contracts.
The tare Smart Contract was coined back in 1998 by an American computer scientist named Nick Zabo.
-
To build any software application or sell on the Blockchain Network, you will need to pay for the computing power and the space required to process transaction data.
The amount required to process transaction data is determined by a built in pricing system called GAS.
Transactions data can contain value in the form of ETHER.
These codes can transmit data and trigger actions in the next layer of the ETHEREUM’S Network.
-
Smart Contracts are lines of code that dictates the terms of a contract and control the execution of the contract.
With the nature of Ethereum‘s hardware layer and Blockchain-based software layers creates the perfect trustworthy digital environment for building and executing smart contracts.
Smart contracts have the unique ability to authorize transactions and carry out terms of contracts within a trusted environment. This eliminates the need for a central authority like a Government, a Bank or Legal System.
Smart contracts make transactions Trackable, Transparent and Permanent.

THE EMV-
Combined with the Ethereum Hardware layer and the Blockchain Software layer makes (THE EVM).
A Global Centralized Super Computer called Ethereum Virtual Machine.
EVM works to improve the flexibility of the software and ensure the separation of each software host in DAPPS.
