What XOplanet NFTs Will Be the Most Coveted?
People buy NFT works-of-art for many reasons. There may be as many reasons to purchase an XOplanet NFT as there are discovered exoplanets. In the 1878 novel, Molly Bawn, the author, Margaret Wolfe Hungerford, wrote, “It is an old axiom and well said that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” XOplanets can be held, sold, or traded and isn’t that where some of the fun begins?
The Rarer the NFT, the More Valuable the NFT
Some traits that XOplanet NFT holders may find important for planet buying, holding, or trading decisions:
- Is your planet within the Goldilocks zone? Less than two percent are.... check out Habitable Zone metadata in XOplanets website.
- Host Stars Visible to the Naked Eye: Is your exoplanet among 277 that can be seen from Earth without a telescope or binoculars?
- How many days does it take your planet to orbit its star? The shortest and longest # of days may increase the chances of these planets being more rare than others …see Orbital Days trait reference in NASA’s metadata.
