A potential hot take from my latest article: "Unfortunately, applying any standard definition, you cannot 'own' virtual real estate at this time." Find out why I say that, and why it might not matter.

So frustrating. Why characterize NFT-based ownership as a way to "wring" money from users when the status quo has *no* means of recuperating funds spent on in-game items? It's 100% extractive as it is now.

Some hypothetical questions:

2) Can you own anything outside of a legal framework for it?
3) If someone had to demonstrate their ownership of #virtualrealestate, what could they offer? Is it convincing?
