  NFTs, or Non-Fungible Tokens , have become the hottest thing in crypto this year. You may have heard in the news about a digital art piece from the artist Beeple selling as an NFT for $69 million, or how the NBA has partnered with a company called Top Shot to sell digital card packs to people. The short definition is that an NFT is a special crypto token that proves ownership of a digital asset.

This is when you should think about automating your work. As someone with a tech background, automation is something I default to very quickly. The good thing

For most people, crypto is just a way to invest in a highly speculative asset. Bitcoin is seen as digital gold, as something you can buy, hold and sell at a higher price. But crypto currencies and blockchain technologies are used in many more applications, and creating innovative products on top of these networks starts with connecting to the network. Whether you're trying to create a digital wallet, interact with smart contracts, or build a completely new application, you need to use code and connect to the blockchain of your choice. In this post, we'll use Python and connect to the Binance Smart Chain. While there is a lot of crypto documentation out there for JavaScript, the amount is smaller for Python, so hopefully this post will give you a good place to start. Connecting to the chain First, you'll need to download the web3 library. You can use pip to install it on your system: pip install web3 Once installed, open up a Python interpreter and let's initialize the
