The NFT is the token, not the metadata. Of course there are projects with on chain metadata, and projects with on chain art as well. Also, many folks use IPFS pinning, so that does add some level of resilience as well, but yes not all NFTs

With regards to the museum backstop... I think it's coming. The big auction houses are there already and it's a blurred boundary.

Sure, let's talk shit about a new system that's largely censorship resistant (or trying to be) and call it the biggest scam in history (without any evidence) while praising the world's most authoritarian government. Hard to t

Meh, the exchanges used to buy/sell NFTs will just add KYC and it will be business as usual IMO.

It's not really zero-sum though, because hedge funds are pouring billions of dollars that they don't care about losing in order to jump start the crypto economy. Who is the loser? Their investors who won't even notice? It&#x2

I've worked for multiple companies that have had major reductions in force at times. When folks get laid off in a group, it has never been done 1:1. Usually the group getting let go is told all at once separately from the rest of the c

I work at a startup that had a similar clause. During hiring, I asked them to add some language that it was specific only to work that is competing in nature with the core business. CEO was happy to oblige. No issues with me doing side proj

It only begs that question for folks that mistakenly interpret "Smart Contract" to mean some kind of contract. In reality, Smart Contracts are no more "Conracts" than any other app.

To some extent, yes the major exchanges are insured: https://help.coinbase.com/en/coinbase/other-topics/legal-pol... However, most losses in crypto are not happening from custodial exchanges, but dAPPs that g

FWIW, I'm pretty sure banks loose in the hundreds of billions per year to fraud... and it's all heavily regulated.

LMAO, you're not foiling anything. They've moved to gait analysis years ago... which you probably can't fake.

I live in NYC and can't imagine not wearing a mask in the subway ever again... it smells rank enough to begin with.

I'm sure we can discuss this at length... but regardless of how you view NFTs as a representation of ownership, my main point is that enough people use the NFT ecosystem on these chains to the point that it gives these chains importanc

I appreciated your comment. I want to believe what you are saying... but at the end of the day none of the people that I interviewed with were the final deciding factor in whether I was offered the role or not. This was decided by a hiring
