Nicole Is Not Into Stocks

Unlike Warren Buffet, she said, she was never into stocks or Wall Street, as the industry is missing the vital element of art. She further said that, Now with Non Fungible Tokens, she has discovered an interest and understanding of stocks and what actually the asset means, as she can now relate to it.
