Many early use cases of a technology in hindsight look pretty silly.  In 2000, Seventeen "dot coms" spent millions on ads for Super Bowl XXXIV - more web-based companies than have booked ads in the intervening twenty years.   Similarly with "blockchain" which I take a delightful hour to kick around with my guest Professor Michael Mainelli, Chairman of  @ZYenGroup .  

Whenever a tech term becomes marketing faerie dust, look out!   #Blockchain and #BTC (which some call #Bitcoin) come under our strict scrutiny.  We touch on #CHECKSUM, the accurate and less sexy version of a #hash.  If blockchain is not boring, you're doing it wrong!  The era of clever techies selling NFTs of monkeys on a sailboat to people for $75,000 is over, but that does not mean that real world NFT uses are not coming to a global market near you.   Also, Michael was kind of enough to spruik our Host's upcoming appearance on the City of London's FS Club webinar series:  https://fsclub.zyen.com/ webinar series on 15 February.  

We'll be discussing how an innovative #RareEarths mine in #Greenland is deploying commercial sales contracts on the blockchain in an #NFT structure.    Sign up for the webinar here:  https://fsclub.zyen.com/events/forthcoming-events/how-to-nft-a-greenland-rare-earths-mine/ to dive even more deeply into how real adults will be using NFTs for real asset management.
