Showing NFTs on your website will not increase your status, because nobody will know if you paid for them or not. Showing NFTs on your profile on a website that only accepts verified NFTs (see my previous message for what I mean by that) w

I think you underestimate how important bragging rights are. That's the reason people purchase Rolex watches! And because you can't show off your Rolex watch in the online world, instead you'll use an NFT as a profil pic. I t

Yeah. No apps = no success. A developer-focused computer would obviously run Linux, so you'd have a large ecosystem right from the start.

What are you talking about? Any large tech company could pull that off. The problem is those large companies are not interested in catering to a million developers, they are interested in catering to a billion people.

If that's true, then Apple should make an Instagram competitor (like it did with Google Maps).

It's interesting to notice that Apple is earning essentially $0 per year from the presence of Facebook on the app store, while Facebook is earning quite a bit from their iOS apps. Facebook has no leverage here.

Technically it is fully self driving, it's "just" that you have a (much) lower chance of arriving safely at your destination than with a human driver.

That graph is misleading (to say the least) because it is not per capita. The reason the baby boomer had a much larger share of the national wealth is because they were a much larger share of the population. If you do the same graph per cap
