You Don't Need Millions to Get Started in NFTs

The goal is to attract first-time NFT buyers by keeping the price under $10 with an infinite number of cat drawings so anyone can buy in and learn about the technology in a non-intimidating way, complete with a comic book-style walkthrough.

Other successful NFT projects, like Cool Cats, may have an inviting and fun art style, but with the current buy-in price above $10,000, it’s inaccessible for those on a budget.

“For cryptocurrencies to have mass adoption I believe there needs to be an easier way for people to wrap their head around all the complexities,” said a Paper Cats and Cool Cats developer who goes by the name xtremetom. “NFTs have the power to present the flow of tokens in a visual way. In my experience, people find it easier to understand a new concept when there is some visual cue involved.

“Most NFTs also have a social aspect with communities on both Twitter and Discord,” xtremetom continued. “This is invaluable as it offers a place to ask questions, learn, and develop more crypto and NFT knowledge at a pace you are happy with. Sadly, I feel that buying your first NFT is a very scary process. Conquering that fear through education is one of the biggest challenges facing the crypto space.”
