The difference is this way the money laundering is built directly into the item economy instead of having to be built alongside it.

So, looking at NFT's from an intellectual property law perspective, one could argue that NFT's are a way to prove ownership of intellectual property over an artwork.

For example, let's say you're a digital artist selling smut commissions online. Under a lot of legal systems, the artist keeps the intellectual property rights (eg they can stop unauthorized third parties from altering the image, profiting off of it, resharing it etC. without their permission) but you can legally "sell" the intellectual property rights (for example, the person commissioning the art piece) so they can use it for whatever they feel like (eg, using it on their company website, for advertising, etc.) One of the issues in litigation is the burden of proof: it's not too problematic in fight between parties A and B themselves (the purchaser can point to the contract by which they bought the IP) but things get messier when, for example, the original artist (or an agent claiming to represent them) tries to get a third party (eg a hosting website) to remove content that was allegedly uploaded without permission. The third party has no real way of knowing who sold their IP to whom.

My understanding is that NFT's could be used as a public registry to prove that ownership has been transferred from party A to party B, so that when party B goes to court they can point at an NFT (similar to how you can go to a notary and prove, on the basis of a public registry, that you own a piece of real estate or a security on some assets or whatever)

you've described a sales contract, except now it costs sixteen windfarms because jingle jangle.

The promise of interoperability doesn't just rely on a developer deciding they need to code for the handling of unique out-of-game assets that do not make them any money, but also that they don't instead simply make their own NFTs that do.

But the endgame is clearly not for players to sell their items. It's for players to buy items.

NFTs are crypto.

They don't exist separate from crypto - they are simply the newest way that crypto is trying to build legitimacy for itself and attract bagholders. Minting an NFT is minting crypto - they don't exist separate from that ecosystem, they directly participate and perpetuate it.

note that when people say the global financial industry is responsible for 10 billion tonnes of emissions that's primarily the emissions of the industries that the finance sector invests in, not the costs of simply running a bank and processing transactions like it is with crypto.

There are no examples because it's a completely dumb idea. The core ideal behind 'Web3.0' is a return to a mythical decentralised internet, like 'Web 1.0' was where individuals had "ownership" of their own web presence by either being an enthusiast who ran a webserver at home or had a Myspace or Geocities site; except now it'll all use blockchains for some reason (the reason is because otherwise there's no use for cryptocurrency in it) and no companies will be able to exert their influence because cryptocurrency is immune to the mechanics of capitalism despite being pure distilled capitalism.

Classic confidence scam - it costs a lot of money but you're only allowed to buy it because you're special (for having already spent a lot of money)

with the bonus that when they take down the servers you lose any ability to verify the authenticity immediately rather than when the paper it's on rots.

�setting up a machine learning algorithm to do the job would take significantly more work than just importing the item manually? And would require hiring talent that can easily contract for 4 figures an hour.

it also avoids the point that you wouldn't necessarily want a ballistic helmet in your fantasy elf game even if someone owned one and it didn't take any additional effort to code.
