At present, as BAYC, Disney and other related things continue to break the circle, the hottest concept in the Internet world and investment circle is probably NFT. Many people in the circle have regarded it as a belief, built a high ground, charged and extended upwards; but a considerable number of outsiders don't understand what it is, and they can't get in or see it.

1. Familiar with the jargon and abbreviations of high-frequency words in the circle
There are many terms, abbreviations, confusing slang and intentional misspellings circulating in the NFT circle, some of which are necessary knowledge to step into the NFT circle, and others are just "boring" slang; Many "little whites" who have just entered the industry are at a loss.
What does Mint mean? The translation is mint?
What are Airdrops? I've only heard of Airpods, is it Apple's new product?
What is the OS? Shorter for SOS?
Why does everyone send GM in the morning?
As well as Gas War, Floor Price, Whale, etc., one by one, the outsiders are more and more resistant; but familiarity with these is actually the only way to enter the circle. And through the NFT Labs public account"How to quickly become an insider in the NFT circle?" Inventory of 32 community terms (black words)", I believe it can quickly familiarize and memorize Xiaobai.

2. Possess a "Little Fox" wallet and some Tokens
The "wallet" mentioned in the circle is not the physical wallet we often refer to, but a virtual wallet. But don't underestimate this wallet, it is your "account" in the circle, and it will also be the basis for you to actually experience various operations of NFT. MetaMask, also commonly known as "little fox", is the simplest and most convenient wallet, and it is also the most commonly used by novice players, and the most mainstream choice in the current market. You can search and learn by yourself, register to experience it, but remember to keep the mnemonic and private key - they will be your path to enter the wallet.
And Token is like the money in your account. Purchases, handling fees and some routine operations all need Token, so an appropriate amount of Token is also a must.

3. Have Twitter, Telegram, Discord accounts
Three social tools, Twitter, Telegram and Discord, have now become gathering places and discussion places for NFT projects and fans.
Twitter is like the international version of "Weibo". In the absence of a complete aggregation platform for early NFT projects, Twitter is the best tool to search for early NFT projects, and it is also the best choice for the initial exposure of NFT projects.
Telegram is more like the international version of "WeChat", but the upper limit of WeChat's single group chat is 500 people, while the upper limit of Telegram's super group chat is 200,000 people. And Telegram does not have many ecosystems like WeChat, it is more like a pure chat tool, so the community users can communicate in a very wide range, and they can also get in touch with more and more real communities and user opinions.
Discord is like the international version of "YY" and the most important social tool in the NFT field. Due to the advantages of Discord's functional design, it is the gathering place for fans of each NFT project party, and it is also a platform where you can directly talk to project parties, participate in activities, and a series of operations. It is also the place where you can best understand project information and communities tool. Discord's functions are complex, and the interaction design is different from traditional social tools. It may be a headache to use at the beginning; but once you pass this threshold, you will feel the power of this tool and understand that it can become an encrypted tool. The reason for mainstream social tools in the field.

4. Join some Web3 communities and communicate more
The concept of Web3 is relatively broad, and those related to the concept of decentralization can be called elements in the field of Web3, such as: DAO, NFT, Metaverse, etc. "); In the Web3 field, ordinary talents are the carrier, and users are the core.
At present, the entire Web3 industry is in an early stage, and there is not yet a particularly perfect learning path. Therefore, in addition to actual participation, the most effective learning method is to communicate with users and bigwigs in the industry, ask for advice, and gradually into your own understanding.
"One day in the world, one year in Web3", it is no exaggeration to describe the rapid changes in the Web3 industry. If you are just groping in the field alone, it is easy to lose access to the most cutting-edge news, your thinking will become solidified, and you will eventually be left behind.

5. Change an NFT avatar
In the real world, there are no two commodities that exhibit completely similar characteristics or values, so they are called non-homogeneous goods, which refer to unique and irreplaceable commodities; similarly, there are no two commodities in the field of NFT. The NFT is exactly the same, so it is called a non-homogeneous token.
People in the NFT circle are very happy to buy some NFTs with collectible attributes and replace them with their own avatars-because each NFT is unique, so each avatar is also unique.
For novice players, you may not have tried to buy NFT, or you may see that you like NFT - or the NFT you like is too expensive; but in fact, there is no requirement that only the holder of the NFT can use it As an avatar, just like the number of users who use BAYC as their avatar on the Internet far exceeds the actual number of BAYC.

6. Try to get a whitelist
The white list is generally a reward for early project supporters, which is equivalent to giving supporters a place to ensure that they can mint one (or more) NFT. For some hot projects, with whitelist users, there is no need to pay high gas fees to pre-empt Mint, which saves a lot of costs. Therefore, many users will participate in the activities of the project party given the whitelist; after all, you can choose not to go to Mint if you get the whitelist, and there will be no loss.
There are also various ways to obtain the whitelist, and they are gradually evolving as the popularity of NFT rises. In the beginning, many project parties will randomly draw prizes, and later they need to participate in activities and carry out project-related artistic creations. Even now, many projects require you to sing, dance, and write "small essays" to have a chance to win. It can be described as " It's getting more and more voluptuous."

7. Try Mint and buy an NFT
Mint refers to direct "casting" to create an NFT, which belongs to the category of the primary market; purchase refers to directly purchasing an NFT from the trading platform, which belongs to the category of the secondary market.
Mint is generally divided into two types, one is to go directly to the NFT set in the contract of the Mint project party, and the other is to prepare the content in the format of pictures, videos, etc., and go to Mint to own NFT. Generally, users refer to the first type of “purchasing projects”. They are optimistic about holding projects for a long time or selling them for short-term profits after Mint; while the second method is mostly commemorative or to experience the process.
Purchasing an NFT from the secondary market is the easiest way. After choosing your favorite NFT and preparing a certain amount of Token, it only takes a minute or two to get it. At present, there are many different types of trading platforms in the market, each with its own characteristics, but OpenSea is still the current leader, accounting for more than 90% of the trading volume.

9. Real-time capture and exchange of industry information
Just like the article said "One day in the world, one year in Web3", the industry is changing too rapidly, and there is currently no particularly intelligent front-line news aggregation platform, so the discovery and dissemination of all front-line news is artificial. If you can capture the changes at the forefront of the industry, obtain information on front-line projects, or be keenly aware of market sentiment and respond quickly, then you are a very good NFT insider.
But what if you can only see the information, but not the ability to analyze the response? Post the information you have discovered to the community, discuss with everyone, and transform the process and results into your own thinking, and you will gain something in the long run. This sounds simple, but in fact, many users can't do it.
