Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are blockchain tokens that are not interchangeable in general. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is a fungible token, which means that one bitcoin can be easily swapped for another bitcoin, much like one Canadian dollar can be exchanged for another Canadian dollar.

The primary distinction between Bitcoin and NFTs lies in their purpose and nature. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency designed as a decentralized digital currency for transactions and a store of value, functioning similarly to traditional money but without a central authority. It is fungible, meaning each Bitcoin is identical and can be exchanged one-to-one.

In contrast, NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) are unique digital assets that represent ownership of a specific item or piece of content, such as art, music, or virtual real estate. They are non-fungible, meaning each NFT is distinct and cannot be exchanged on a like-for-like basis. NFTs leverage blockchain technology to authenticate and prove ownership, enabling creators to monetize their digital works.
