    1. There is only one mature NFT marketplace and it doesn't use blockchain and the org running it won't acknowledge it is a marketplace... but it is... And that market is Pokémon. ... You think this is a joke, but the more I think about it the more sure I am that it isn't.

    To be clear, I'm not talking about cards, I'm talking about the digital tokens that represent standard, rare, legendary, shiny and linguistically unusual pokémon, which are regularly traded, have values backed by money and have their own app in Pokémon Home for market speculation

      The only other NFT marketplace that comes close is significantly more well thought out... And it's EVE Online, whose transition to what is essentially stablecoim was orchestrated by a professional economist whose next job was stabilizing Greece's economy after it imploded.

        You think you put a lot of thought into your cryptocurrency variation? No, EVE Online put a lot of thought into their economy, your Medium white paper is an undergrad assignment compared to their PhD dissertation.

            All I'm saying is... this has all been done before!
