See, all you need to do is to get hundreds of students you went to the same Uni 20 years ago but never interacted with to confirm your degree is real. But also any rando can steal your degree that way.

why do videogames have both chapters and seasons now

season based gaming is because the games all have character progressions and you can rank up, but they've learned that you can't run it forever because you have to provide rewards for ranking up, but if you do that, newbies get absolutely flattened by the experienced players with a shitload of perk points to spend. So you gotta reset everything every now and then to level the playing field

The whole SBT thing is just trying to do what the Hyperledger Indy project has been trying to do for 5+ years now. Only their version doesn’t burn a small country’s worth of electricity and cost hundreds of dollars per transaction.

uni degrees as nfts would mean selling not the degrees but receipts of degrees. the fungible token concept has never had a solid tie to the object it actually points to

also soulbound concept comes from world of warcraft probably so vitalik is back to his old

But how can you be sure their records are correct? They are not on blockchain, so they can all be incorrect.

i feel like in the next federal election the republican grifter types are gonna ask for bitcoin donations a lot like in 2016. it will probably be less successful tho because the guys they hired during that time are either in jail or have lost any sense of media credibility (mike cernovich lol)

also i don't think peter thiel is gonna do a ton with his media savvy-ness other than promote dumb podcasts because impressionable right wing 18-24 yos aren't particularly fond of him

Often when a university goes bust those records disappear, so there is some value in having the data elsewhere, but I don't need to tell you that the good solution is not what the blockchainheads invented.
