It would even be cool to have common ownership between games, like if I bought a license for a cool skin and the dev/modder made the skin compatible with a bunch of other games. The game would just check if I own that particular IP, and the load the appropriate data that corresponds to in the game.
It would also be cool to buy and sell houses w/o having to go through a title company ($$$). If deeds were on a blockchain, the state could just look up ownership info and bill whoever the current owner is when tax season rolls around. There are already mechanisms for managing liens and whatnot (smart contracts), so I could completely skip the corrupt financial industry.
The same is true for a ton of other things. NFTs could be an amazing technology to simplify a ton of real life things. As long as people agree to a given blockchain, transactions would be incredibly straightforward.
But no, scammers had to go and mismarket it, rich people had to use it for money laundering, and governments had to go on attack mode. This is why we can’t have nice things.
Exactly!

Yep, completely agree
