[Hidden-tech] NFTs anyone ?

[David Oppenheim]

Hi Rich and Rob,
I have been working on an App dealing with the creation and uploading of
digital assets that are subsequently "minted" as NFTs. We initially chose
to work with a private blockchain implementation as a fork of Ethereum (per
the client's initial request) but eventually opted to migrate to using
Polygon for a number of reasons which I can elucidate further if anyone is
interested. We launched the app in early beta a couple weeks back and have
seen over 12k NFTs minted so far. I believe the market is rich with
opportunity but also rife with misconceptions. The opportunity to verify
and validate origination of digital and non-digital content through the use
of a smart-contract employed on a public ledger is, I agree, an invaluable
part of the evolution of the internet. That does not mean that everything
created has a special value simply because it is now logged and verified
via a blockchain. NFTs are not pet rocks, but a photo of my grandmother is
mostly valuable to me because of its sentimental value, not because I can
prove it is an original photograph. You wouldn't buy it from me just
because it is original.

If anyone wants to discuss, I'm happy to answer based on our experience as
the technology partners in our small slice of this brave new world.
Thanks
David
