0:00 - 1:39 Intro
1:39 - 7:52 What is the Real Value in NFTs for Society?
Physical to Digital Transformation
From DMV Records, Real Estate Titles to comics etc.
Keith sees NFTs as licenses
7:52 - 10:26 What Happens to NBA Top Shots?
The Top Shot moment isn’t everything, it is about community and the experience
10:26 - 19:02 What does it mean to own something?
Governments and the redistribution of wealth
This is a mechanical question
NFTs will have a major role in ownership
Evidence like registrations and titles, as well as the legislative and judicial system helps to enforce statements of ownership and what is “mine”, but it is expensive and slow
Little friction, lots of evidence, low cost required to identify what is mine on the blockchain via NFTs
19:02 - 24:10 Decentralized finance and the utility of “mine”
This enables commerce across borders
Nike, Tesla, and other brands enabling this from the top down
Be the change you want to see to help enable change from the bottom up
Will need adults in the room to handle things like security, access, recalls, etc.
24:10 - 29:30 Matterium (what’s mine?), Sheesha Finance (EFT for NFT), Studios working on VR/AR/Games & NFTs, and Give Nation (financial literacy and philanthropy) Project Discussion
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals that must be solved for humanity to do well
Blockchain has the ability to add value to society in big ways
29:30 - 31:20 Value of NFTs to the gamification of education and rewards compared to what has transpired recently and historically
Traditional, provincial ways of thinking are being disrupted
31:20 - 35:50 Lewis Center for Education (LCER)
Project-based learning in collaboration with NASA studied the possible presence of water on the moon and proved it via interoperable global collaboration
Interoperable education is the future and blockchain can make progress exponential
35:50 - 39:30 Hype around certain projects can leave people holding the bag. Education is important to mitigate this.
In many cases, the platforms still control ownership of certain NFTs
Education around who owns what and knowing what is “mine” can help enable people to know what they are buying
Just because a project says that they are built on the blockchain or are using NFTs, does not mean that they are well suited to do so
