I think the minting tangent is a silly one. The underlying tech can be used to trade shares in public companies (TSLA, AAPL, NVDA, etc) in the future as an example if you wish. What is being traded is less interesting than the fact that it can be traded 24/7, cheaply, globally, transparently, pseudoanonymously, settle instantly, and with no counterparty risk. Nothing like this has ever been achieved in human history, any other observations are a distraction.
