If you mean that a game license can be sold as a NFT and they can verify you own it, sure. But then, nothing stops the central hub (aka Playstation, XBox, Steam) from invalidating your license. In this case, your NFT only serves to prove yo

I turned my loser life around at 27. I actually had spent years trying to optimize it, seeking success and happiness, but I was stuck. What was the big move? Little did I know it back then, but the solution has many parallels with non-conve
