   The buying decision originates from the content creator, who will tell you which ones are from him. NFTs sold on other chains are akin to copies of the Mona Lisa: worthless

   I think you mean append only. Blockchains are immutable thus not writeable

   NFTs are not meant for physical items, they’re digital certificates. People literally burnt a Banksy painting before auctioning its NFT.

   Are there any plans to do staking Polkadot/Cardano style? I'd like to stake my ETH but have no interest in running a full validator

   Does something like delegated/nominated proof of stake solve this?

    I don't think anyone wants to get rid of the legal stuff. Just digitize it in a way where we get rid of outrageous notary fees and other middlemen. Those shouldn't probably be bearer tokens as theft/loss is a big deal

    Can you delegate your stake to a validator node without having to use an exchange?

    They're not meant for physical items. Never really understood that tokenized real estate thing

    By default, nature is an aggressive and competitive environment. It's only after we barricaded ourselves in towers protected by walls that we started to find predatory animals cute (and even made children's toys in their image)

    I'm so sick off those blog posts that take 1 million words to explain monads with so many empty words. Monads are simply endofunctors coupled with coherence conditionned morphisms. Nothing newsworthy, just be a little smarter

    I'd really like to read a similar write-up about proof of stake

    The buyer does receive a share, but the seller didn't have it beforehand nor borrow it from anyone

    How about getting paid to do the clearing between those share movers?

    All of this doesn't address the concept of naked short selling in the post's title. Naked short selling happens when Bob sells short 100 shares without having borrowed them from anyone beforehand, effectively conjuring new shares

    The whole point of his comment is that BTC is better viewed as store of value rather than a medium of exchange

    That's true and I don't understand all these people promoting the scarcity argument. There are plenty of very scarce things on Earth that are worth absolutely nothing.

    You missed the point. A Venezuelan stablecoin pegged to the bolivar would be useless to protect oneself from the country's hyper inflation

    > No, Ken Griffin did not call Janet Yellen and ask her to order Robinhood to shut down speculative buying. Don't be so quick to absolve the elites of all wrongdoing. The NSCC is not a government agency but an industrial consortium
