No it’s not. It’s just a ticket to enter cryptovoxels.

An option can have rules that cause it to expire. That doesn’t make it anything like an NFT, because an unexpired option is still a right to buy the media, whereas an NFT never gives you any rights to anything except itself.

Exactly this. Which is fine. What isn’t fine is when people pretend that the ownership is over the media itself.

Not even close. Options give you legally enforceable rights to buy the stock itself. An NFT gives you no such rights.

The issue is that you also told this lie: > Just like a deed conveys ownership of a house at some address, the token conveys ownership of that media.

> Just like a deed conveys ownership of a house at some address, the token conveys ownership of that media. This is just a lie. The token doesn’t convey ownership of then media. There is no rough understanding by which this is true. &g

I think it is a rebuttal. You talk about it being public knowledge that there is an ‘asterisk’ by ‘we the people’, as if slavery was some secret. Also how does Dred Scott support this innuendo? There was nothing secret about the ideals, and

Silly. That’s not how facts work. We don’t need evidence to prove something isn’t a fact. It’s only when you claim something is a fact that you need to provide evidence. It’s ok to admit it’s just your perception.

Having a king also functioned decently well for thousands of years. Is that something you also want to bring back?

DeBoer says he’s bringing the Harris thing up because other people keep using it to attack him. He can’t control what other people do, and if they keep bringing it up, it’s not unreasonable for him to respond.

A few companies is hardly ‘jumping everywhere’. Also, does anyone actually use fraction? They seem to be just selling a platform.

I don’t see what’s ironic about it. Those existing banking institutions may not prevail, but that’s irrelevant. The financial engineers behind crypto are not some different breed of human than those who work at Goldman Sachs. Their goal

It’s absolutely a failure on Harris part. It’s fairly obvious that expecting someone to exile themselves from public view for the rest of their life is absurd and unreasonable. Even if DeBoer said he would do that, it doesn’t mean it’s reas

Nothing weird about it. Crypto / web3 is about financializing everything . I.e, making everything about money. The goal is to create a gamified world in which all human interactions are controlled via financial incentives. The con

> Sometimes the traditional digital item (say an NFT) has an associated real-world contract attached to it that extends some sort of right/ownership of a physical item in the real world. Does it? Do you have any examples of this?
