Unlike NFTs there is at least a (physical) product. (And even in the digital version, you have a limited digital item in a verified/trusted (digital) environment, backed/supervised by an entity (company). In crypto you're bac

One part strikes me as odd, as it come across as a new problem, while for me it seems the core problem since the epidemic started: “Hospitals have already been transferring patients to different hospitals, diverting new patients, and sendin
