  • I was just talking shit about NFTs since they are specifically non-fungible. I have a dim view of them, and have yet to see a use case that couldn’t be done more elegantly through account ownership, like owning a game on Steam for example. I know proponents like to argue that they own their token, and I don’t own my games, but I feel like enacting laws over software ownership can fix that, where NFTs are fundamentally valueless without a company providing value. Like the Nascar mobile game NFTs that became worthless once the game was canceled. I own the token for a virtual car, but it now does nothing and has no value. And I wouldn’t mind that, except for the fact that the lock chain is inherently resource intensive, so we wasted a lot of electricity and clean water to prove someone has a now useless Dale Earnhardt.








  • I’m an ally, so this doesn’t impact me directly, but I feel like this is why we need to be more inclusive with our family units. That will also help us to protect and shelter each other, and provide for each other in case times get really bad. The nuclear family isn’t the answer, we need to build communities.
