How to connect MetaMask to OpenSea NFT account?
In the early days, NFTs were equated with luxury goods. In simple economic terms, a luxury good is a good for which demand increases more than proportionally as income increases. More often, they are high-end items, and consumers continue to rake them up as their purchasing power increases.
In the early days, not everyone from the cryptosphere was exposed to NFTs. But as the whole concept became mainstream with time, even regular investors/traders started jumping on this bandwagon. And more than just having tokens for prestige, the motto has changed to ordering merit. As a result, it would not be wrong to argue that they are no longer luxury items.
So if you’re new to the space and want to test the waters yourself, we’ve got you covered. MetaMask as such is a crypto wallet that allows you to HODL NFTs and OpenSea is the largest NFT marketplace. So in this article we reveal how you can start your NFT journey by creating a MetaMask wallet and then connecting it to your NFT account on OpenSea.
