Benefits of placing an NFT as your Twitter profile picture
- Let the world see – The most advantageous advantage of using NFTs as profile pictures is to show your creations or collections to Twitter as a whole or at least all your followers.
- Increase sales – Because we are showing off NFTs, we are more likely to attract fellow NFT enthusiasts. Second, this can lead to NFT sales.
- Support for the industry – Today, social media websites are validators. Twitter’s support for NFTs also helps to get more attention across the industry.
Risk of setting NFT as Twitter profile picture
Not because of Twitter, but the plan is flawed. Anyone can save your NFT as an image and create it as your own. Yes, there is a way to validate the NFT, but with just a few clicks. Moreover, in most scenarios, you may not even know that your NFT has been stolen and used by someone.
In other words, you are putting your NFT at risk. In particular, that risk is associated with almost every NFT across the platform. However, Twitter is much more popular than OpenSea, Foundation, etc., so the risk of theft is high.
