    I’m super pro crypto but it isn’t a magic bullet. The companies being restricted are victims of a monopoly who will retaliate if they try alternatives. It’s the same reason NFTs haven’t killed Ticketmaster.

      Is it possible for us the people to do it then? How do you organize something like a class action lawsuit against a big player like that?

      They JUST finished paying out the 5.5 Billion in a class action lawsuit they’ve already lost before so we can for sure do it again, right?

      Crypto is now a fucking wall street product.

      NFTs are highly regarded.

      The reason you can’t kill Ticketmaster is because Everyone who stands to make money benefits from Ticketmaster and the only ones to benefit from an alternative is customers.

        I’m going to take the day to reflect on how 100.0% out of touch I must be. I’ve been using crypto for more years than I’ll admit, been reading tech news, and talking about it with other real engineers at work. Never once did I hear anything about anyone ever regarding NFTs highly.
