NFTs and Social Media: A New Digital World.
You know friends, Social media has become a big part of our lives. We post pictures, share memes and stay connected with our friends. But my friends have you ever thought about actually owning our content? Right now, whatever we post on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook is controlled by these platforms. But with NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), things are not same.
