NFTs are purchased over a blockchain and can be very profitable if you purchase the right one! Just like Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies they can greatly increase in value the longer you hold them. If you want to buy an NFT and do not know where to start then this article will help you buy and store that valuable NFT inside a secure wallet for future use.

Choosing An NFT (NON Fungible Token)
If you have an NFT in mind then that’s great, but choosing a good NFT can be tricky due to the sheer volume available. With the NFT craze, everyone seems to be creating NFTs hoping to be the next bored ape or crypto punk brand.
But not everyone will be successful so be sure you purchase an NFT that’s created by a known artist, brand or platform. This would give you the best chance for a higher return in the months and years to come.
- DYOR: Always research the brand, community and artist
- Branding: This is the most important part of any NFT discovery
- The Creator: Known vs unknown creators is always best
- Volume: Lower volumes or single designs are best for hodling
- Blockchain: Ethereum, BSC or Polygon to name a few

Purchasing Your NFT
When you have selected the NFT you would like to invest in you need to know which blockchain your NFT resides on. There are a few bigger blockchains such as Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain or Polygon.
Each has its benefits such as Ethereum being more popular but costing more to transfer. With Polygon being super cheap to transfer, the blockchain is saturated with NFTs. This is why you must always research and never take advice/tips from social media.
Once you know which blockchain you will be used to purchase and transfer your NFT then you need to buy the altcoin for that blockchain. For instance Ethereum, you will need to acquire enough Eth to buy and transfer that NFT to a secure crypto wallet.
Here Is The Process:
You need to buy the blockchin coin/crypto from a centralized crypto exchange such as Binance, Coinbase or another of your choosing. These crypto exchanges are strict and are not decentralized so you will need to pass KYC (identification) to be able to make a purchase.
Once you have purchased your blockchain coin it will be sitting inside your account wallet, every crypto exchange has one. The next task would be to then transfer the blockchain coin to the crypto wallet you have chosen to use when storing your NFTs.
