Respectfully disagree. The defining property of blockchain is digital ownership which makes it possible to own your digital assets, create new forms of digital art and human expression, scale IP formation and protection (NFTs), self-sovereign IDs, governance systems (eg. voting), Supply chain traceability or even @dominic_w reply on on-chain cloud, the initial vision of the world computer etc. the list goes on.

Blockchain allows for digital ownership through which financialization is possible but it is not its core purpose. Its core purpose is the evolution of a sovereign truly decentralized internet in which all of us can own a stake in it. While that has the clear potential for financial value it is not its core purpose because it would imply that the core human purpose is finance. It is not, and if we keep framing it that way, we will continue to struggle on our path to mass-adoption, because people are complex and finance for most of us is a means to an end, not an end in itself.

When you scale tech and innovate there are no misadventures, there are lessons and continued experimentation. Gaming and NFTs are far from dead but there are lessons there that have evolved since, same is true for Meme coins, DAOs and many other experiments that will continue to evolve and grow.

As always things are never one size fits all especially because we're Human. Capitalism is only possible with property rights and blockchains enable digital property rights so there is no doubt that finance is a key powerful reasons but it is so much more than that.

George Washington put it best; Freedom and Property Rights are inseparable. You can’t have one without the other.

To us that’s the core purpose of a decentralized, blockchain-powered internet: to secure our digital property rights and the freedoms that flow from them, with financialization as one critically important expression of that.

1. @elonmusk @Support everyone here relies deeply on keeping X as secure as possible & I had my account compromised despite having 2FA security installed what I thought were best practices. Here are my recommendations to prevent this which involves some suggestions for X. https://t.co/j2LRUGm0Lv

Animoca Brands chairman @ysiu explains the licensing approach we are taking to protect NFT creator royalties, an important and progressive feature of Web3 that supports creators and benefits the entire community.

[Yat Siu @ysiu]

1/ .@animocabrands has always been a supporter of #NFT #creator #royalties. Given the discussion on this hot topic we want to share what we are working on to protect royalties in a manner that is #decentralized and respects the #web3 ethos #NFTs

[Yat Siu @ysiu]

1/ Royalties for NFT creators are essential to a decentralized & democratic ecosystem, ensuring fair distribution of value to contributors/creators, which in turn supports value creation across all #NFT commons. Royalties are a critical part of the #web3 #ethos
