    You need to teach people how to verify that their purchase for not counterfeited. Since the bar is not techological, and never will be.

    We had way back when a ‘web of trust’, that actually solved a lot more problems than crypto ever did. But people never understood it, so it never got mainstream adoption.

    If you don’t know a thing about stock market then it makes sense you could suggest NFTs for it, but you can actually divide shares into fractions.

      I merely use nfts as an example because they are closer to what a stock would be than a coin itself. They are not the same though. I was not making that claim.

        A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unique digital identifier that is recorded on a blockchain, and is used to certify ownership and authenticity. It cannot be copied, substituted, or subdivided.

        So just… no.

        You mentioned elsewhere that people attack you instead of approaching you in a discussion.

        And it’s very hard when you seem to misunderstand very basic facts. Which is why people might not be interested in what you might have to say.

          You’ve said nothing that dismisses anything I’ve said. I’m fully aware of what an nft is. Nft mints are used to fund projects in order to build whatever it is they are proposing. It’s not that complicated

          And you obviously came here to fight, not discuss shit, so fuck off
