NFTs have been extremely intertwined with money laundering. The more legitimate and interesting the original NFT, the more plausible the fictitious asset inflation will seem. The extent to which such a thing involves the actual participatio

Really not saying anything particularly profound that wasn't said a hundred times by the liberal and center-left intelligentsia after the arrival of Trumpism. They correctly noted that many people feel left behind by globalization, whe
