Anonymous Crypto Donors Are Changing Philanthropy 💛🤝

In 2021, crypto users were crowned the most charitable investors on the planet 🌏

Open Twitter anytime but especially on Tuesdays and you’ll find thousands of people tweeting about their crypto donations to charities.
Simply enter “CryptoGivingTuesday” in the search bar and you’ll see hundreds of charities thanking crypto and NFT projects donating millions of dollars to make our world more beautiful. 🙏

Charity work is also deeply integrated in APPICS‘ mission, as the app opens up a new world of possibilities for purpose-driven initiatives.

When a nonprofit organisation lacks #transparency, it’s easy for someone to abuse the funds and take advantage of donors and the organisation. 👎

With #APPICS, foundations have a new incentive to offer transparency by posting on the APPICS application and sharing insights through images and videos and thus allowing users to rebuild trust in their organisation while also receiving donations in form of APX tokens through direct transfers.

Who is ready to change Philantrophy with us? 💪

Intro to NFTs - part 1️⃣
NFTs are taking over the art industry and are also one of the biggest trends in the crypto space.

So what exactly is an NFT❔
NFT is the short form for “non-fungible-token”. They can be used to prove ownership over a variety of #digital assets such as pictures, videos, domain names or anything digital.

What does the non-fungible part mean❔
Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum are designed to be “fungible”, meaning each piece is interchangeable and not unique. “Non-fungible” on the other hand means that every NFT is one of a kind, therefore reassuring buyers that the token can’t be copied. ☝️

Why can’t you just copy an NFT ❔
Of course you can copy art and pictures online, or just take a screenshot.
However, NFTs are more than just an image. When you buy one, you buy a receipt that shows you bought the original from the artist. It’s like owning an original painting but in the digital world, there can only be one. 🥇

How to create your own NFT ❔
