THE METAVERSE: RESTORING MEANING TO DIGITAL COLLECTIBLES
Since the beginning of recorded history, humanity has valued originality. But that very concept has been undermined in our generation with the creation of lossless systems. If the future is digital, how can we preserve originality?
And the failure of various digital right management systems has shown it’s not as simple a problem as it may first appear.
NFTs, of course, are the solution. They retain the benefits of the digital world—freedom from physical storage, protection from damage, lasting durability—and bring the benefits of first-generation collection.
NFTs mean ownership of goods that can last as long as we’re using digital systems. The real value of NFTs isn’t in social media bragging. It’s in long-term collection for collectible receipts.
Imagine having tickets to the first Rolling Stones concert, an authentic experience-based collectible that will only increase as time goes on. In a world where tickets are just QR codes, NFTs make collecting cool again.
The path forward is clear enough. But there are still a few roadblocks to overcome.
