I picked stocks based on making bad puns with their ticker symbols, and Badger Meter Incorporated has done incredibly well since then.

fun story, this isn't necessarily true. My grandfather bought some gold as an "investment" and what he got was some certificates for gold that was stored in a company multiple states away. He's never seen it. Apparently he COULD (or so he says) but...

you could say that what he actually bought was a pointer to a location where gold could be stored

There was a fairly recent case of a big company that did that and massively oversold their actual gold supply

My guess is that twitter just permanently caches nft avatars like it does with any other avvy image, because they're lazy and hotlinking is bad design.

Since a nft is just a link, you can point to your own server and control the image returned.

So someone could in principle use a single NFT and set up a website to get an unlimited number of people NFT verified just by repeatedly changing the image to their requested avatar and rerunning the same nft over and over

It's close enough for most folks to understand though, and while it's not accurate to the code it's accurate to the state of affairs. The idea of being able to provide your own validator is a bit too deep code practice for most folks to really comprehend.

It's pretty simple. Their policy is basically:

:smugjones: "Any kind of certificate?"

You know, you can often buy gift cards direct from restaurants at a pretty significant discount compared to cash (getting 35 dollars of gift card by paying $25 or whatever)

I'll put together an app to run gift card arbitrage, Cardr. Users will get some of the gift card discount, so whenever they use our app they will (for instance) pay $25 cash for $30 of food (getting 20% more food for free!). That will help build up a big userbase, since a 20% discount is huge, and the more users we have, the more money we make.

If we really wanna juice up the profits, we can give people the option of tossing money into their Cardr accounts first (and earn interest on the float). And we can even buy gray-market gift cards at a 50% discount as well, to really improve our ratio. It's free money!

1) Yes, exactly, it is 'ownership' of a text string (which usually is a url), and that's it. (The url does not convey ownership of whatever is at the underlying url)
