      Money is a social phenomenon

      Perfectly explains why NFTs don’t work. Nobody believes in the value of some bits on a blockchain, so it has no value.

        Well some people do. And when some people believe a thing against all reason, we call that a cult. If they get big enough it’s a religion. I worry about the future of the techno priesthood.

        Odd, there’s a significant part of the world population that doesn’t believe the Canadian paper money I have has any value and will demand payment in their local paper. Does Canadian money have value?
