Blog #138: The Power of Curiosity Leads Me To Mint My Own NFT

Happy Friday Hivers!

This afternoon, I came across the post of @galenkp about his weekend-engagement. Actually, I have no planned of publishing a blog about this little learning that I got this morning but since I've found it fit to the weekend-engagement topic hosted by @galenkp so I created this blog.

I've read about NFTs many times already. It usually appeared on my Twitter and Hive feeds. But I didn't spare time to look at it and study what that stuff is all about.

Until one day in a certain Group Chat, the topic of the conversation was about NFT. At first, I thought it was only focus on paintings and I told myself nah I can only draw a tree and a doodle of a person and that's it. Since I thought it was only for the painters/artists I didn't give a time to do a research of my own and didn't study how it works.

My less interest of NFT has swept away and has slowly replaced with curiosity when I read an article about The 22 Year-old Indian Who Mkes a Million Dollars Selling NFTs. That's the time I started to read more about NFT posts because I realized that I can still mint my own NFT though I'm not into painting.

I don't know how to do the minting. I tried it yesterday but I gave up because I feel lazy to explore the opensea and the metamask. This morning was different. The curiosity pushed me to learn how to do it. I asked a friend to guide me since my knowledge about it was absolutely zero. I was not shy while I admit it in the Group Chat (lol).

I was grateful to a friend who guided me along the way. I already have a metamask wallet but I don't know how to use it. So my friend instructed me the things that I needed to set up before I can mint my own NFT. He instructed me to add a polygon network in my metamask wallet first so I can post it in the opensea for free. Aside from a friend's guidance, I also made a research and watched a video tutorials just to broaden my knowledge about it. And finally, my NFT was already listed.

This was just a proof that the power of curiosity will absolutely leads you to an amazing things. Out of curiosity, my knowledge about cryptocurrency has now slowly leveling up because I keep learning, asking, and researching.

How about you guys? What are the things or the thing that made you curious today? What did you do about it? Drop a comment below.

Thank you for reading and see you on my next blog. Cheers!
