The killer app is waiting for the right hardware. Imagine doing remote surgery, with your headset showing, in 3D, the patient's body. Or in-person surgery, with a 3D rendering of the CT/MRI scan overlaid the patient's body. T

From what I’ve read, they would have to mark the portfolio to market (i.e. report its value in terms of current market prices), not say “we intend to hold this to maturity” and account it at face value. Like, the latter actually makes more
