In the face of the overwhelming publicity of digital collections on the Internet, and the "friendly" sharing of some people who have purchased, are you moved?
First, the concept of digital collection and NFT
Digital collection refers to the use of blockchain technology, corresponding to a specific work, artwork generated by the only digital credentials, on the basis of protecting their digital copyright, to achieve true and credible digital distribution, purchase, collection and use.
NFT, full name Non-Fungible Token, refers to non-homogeneous tokens, is the only cryptocurrency token used to represent digital assets (including jpg and video clip forms) that can be bought and sold.
From the concept, it is not difficult to see that the digital collection can be seen as being born and used to protect the copyright of digital works, and the appearance is in the form of pictures and other forms, essentially a string of unique digital voucher codes, which clearly state "distribution, purchase, collection, use" in the definition without mentioning the words "trade, buy"(this is why digital collections can exist on the mainland). And NFTs are the only cryptocurrency tokens for digital assets that can be bought and sold (which is why real NFTs cannot exist on the mainland).
Second, the nature and transaction of domestic digital collections
At present, the domestic digital collection is essentially no different from the QQ show that caught fire N years ago, at most it is a limited edition QQ show. (Think about the function of the QQ show, see for yourself, "show" for others to see... Think about the function of the digital collection in your hand now, see for yourself, "show" to others, and then "show" to others to see a string of unique digital codes... That's all. ）
In terms of the national conditions of the mainland, at present and in the future visible to the naked eye, digital collections are completely impossible to open and freely trade. Both the UnionPay Digital Collection and Alibaba's AntChain Digital Collection clearly state that no form of digital goods resale is supported. Make it clear that adhere to the bottom line of the policy, do not believe the investment and financial publicity.
This clear position is also the reason why domestic digital collection platforms can exist. Without the possibility of circulation, there is no possibility of appreciation speculation. The so-called free gift, that is, to play the policy of the edge of the ball. Through offline OTC transactions and then transfer gifts, report one ban one by one. You can go to see Ali's ant chain digital collection of banned list, beware that you pay the money, the "seller" or "buyer" backhand a report, the money is gone, the number is gone, the digital collection is gone...
Some friends may have doubts, online games to fight monsters and explosive equipment can be bought and sold, why can't digital collections work?
We need to clarify the symbolism of both.
Behind the digital collection symbolizes the digital currency (Bitcoin, etc.), and the attitude of the country to the digital currency is the attitude towards the digital collection.
The equipment of online games symbolizes virtual property, which is currently in dispute under the law, and the sale and purchase of game equipment is not explicitly allowed or explicitly prohibited. Generally speaking, in order to prevent the money laundering risks that exist in them, game companies reduce their own legal risks, thereby prohibiting private trading. (Dream Journey to the West Treasure Cabinet:?) But to be clear, you think the gear is yours? Think too much. Ownership of game currency and game props and even game accounts belongs to the network operator. [1]

To sum up, the attitude towards digital collections, if you really like it, willing to pay, then boldly buy, do not regret, after all, Jiang Taigong fishing is willing to be hooked; if you expect its appreciation, trading, as a means of investment, do not buy.
Third, opportunities and bottom lines
There are still certain opportunities to make money in the field of digital collection.
For content creators, they can take advantage of the concept of digital collection hype and cooperate with platforms to publish their own works to achieve the purpose of making money. It can not only get more exposure for the work, but also receive a certain licensing fee, but also build its own popularity and find cooperation opportunities in more fields than digital collections.
For the platform, it is necessary to strictly adhere to the bottom line, clarify the non-tradable attributes of digital collections, standardize the content of the platform, and release more high-quality digital collections. Not only to learn to "sell" the collection, but also to learn to tell stories, from the culture, background and other aspects of the digital collection to give rich heritage and connotation. A picture is a picture, a GIF is a GIF, learn to tell a story, the picture and the GIF are all small pots of tea...
For consumers, digital collections are what they like to buy, and those who don't like them don't buy. There is no room for appreciation in the digital collection and no transactional properties. Be wary of all kinds of hype and publicity to avoid being deceived.
It should be noted that the above judgments are based on domestic policies. If you have to go abroad and be cut leeks, I can't help it.
