HOW TO BUY NFTs ON OPENSEA?

If you are wondering how to buy an NFT, let's start connecting your crypto wallet to your Opensea account.


But first things first, what is a Crypto wallet?


Let's say that is a wallet, like the one that you use regularly, but instead of holding cash and credit cards, it is holding your digital cryptocurrencies and Non-fungible tokens, basically keeping all your private passwords that are giving you access to your crypto. It also allows you to send, receive and spend them.


Now that we have a little more clear how to manage our digital assets, let's begin with the NFT purchase preparation.
