In the last days I heard about tokenization to a level that is driving me crazy.

-Tokenization of blueberries

-Tokenization of wine

-Tokenization of BIODIVERSITY ?!

-Tokenization of Real State

-Tokenization of stocks

-Tokenization of livestock

The people talking about this believe in the blockchain narrative for some reason. And that a token on a blockchain is somehow trustworthy and transparent. Nothing if further from the true.

So I asked:

-Who is in charge of the token?

-Where’s the trust deposited?

-Why should I trust you?

-How can I know those tokens are backed and really represent what you say? Who audit you?

-Why would I buy those tokens instead of just buying bitcoin?

(The only reason is if you don’t understand bitcoin)

After all of this I asked again.

WHY DO YOU NEED A TOKEN IF ALL YOU WANT IS CREDIT/FINANCING?

In some cases, JUST IN SOME, the end goal is good, specially if they are creating value while producing something that is demanded.

In some cases they say they want to lower the barriers of getting exposure to some business or asset.

But they don’t need a token!!!

They need money. And in order to get money you need a proven way of producing value or at least a good way of selling the idea that you have the capacity of producing value. But again, you don’t need a token, you need MONEY.

The UN wants everything on this planet accounted for by 2050...

Yeaa, and people are going to do it voluntarily for them. PATHETIC humans

The blockchain does not make tokens more trustworthy, but it makes them programmable, which enables creative new ways for trust-minimized gamification of financing/crowdfunding.

What blockchain?

The new intermediaries.

I’ve heard this so many time. Coffee on the blockchain lol.

What blockchain? Blockchains are not trustworthy, transparent or immutable just for being a blockchain. Anyone can create a blockchain.

It’s pointless. The blockchain will not protect private property if the good or asset is physical. What good is an NFT of my watch if someone can steal it? Pointless.

Stocks on the blockchain. Pointless if you still can only buy them on Robinhood, can’t trade them, anyone can censor you, and anyone can confiscate them from you or freeze them. It’s all fucking pointless and that narrative is the last narrative left for the Ethereum retards. They use that narrative to take more money from the uneducated who can’t tell the difference between Bitcoin and everything else.

They didn’t experience the 2017 bull market. Recycled marketing

If we’re going to do 2017 all over again can I buy bitcoin at 3k again 🤷🏼‍♂️

Exactly. Tokenization is often presented as a panacea, but without true underlying value, auditability, and trust, a token is just a label. If the goal is financing or credit, what you really need is proven value creation and liquidity,not a token. Bitcoin, by contrast, is trustless money with verifiable scarcity ⚡
