The podcast discusses how NFTs (non-fungible tokens) are creating a new paradigm around digital ownership, allowing users to own unique digital assets that cannot be replicated or duplicated. They explore how NFTs are being used in fields such as gaming, sports, and collectibles, with the potential to revolutionize the way we perceive the value of digital content.
NFTs have value through their authentic smart and social contracts that allow for open composability and programmability within the digital domain. They allow for special items to be ported over to different games and provide access to future rights for fans, while a JPEG version has no value.
digital cards known as NFTs are being collected to create sports teams that are benchmarked against real-life sports performance. Funds are being created and hiring digital sports managers that buy and loan out these NFT players with the goal of buying an actual sports team and applying all of the sports analytics intelligence and data science learned from the digital teams.
NFTs are simple, portable, programmable, and composable, and they are becoming the building blocks for complex systems in internet gaming. Those who try to compete with centralized solutions will miss out on this large boom in the gaming industry.
