The biggest difference between an NFT and Bitcoin is that each NFT is different from the next. The game involves collecting and breeding digital cats, and each cat is unique and owned by a different user. There are many exchanges to find NFTs and each one tends to specialize in different types of art or styles.

The quibble is that this "sector" is really a whacky collection of radically different organizations. Is that really a reason to study , talk about , and define a professional identity of a "nonprofit sector?" One reason that sector is useful is because of the increasing professionalization of the field. Look at it this way.
