As time has gone on in the crypto world, we’ve begun to find new ways to harness the possibilities that a truly distributed, immutable and global digital financial network affords us. This episode we dive into one of the most exciting of these innovations – the concept of provably-rare collectibles and smart assets. From gaming and trading to houses and cars, token standards like ERC-721 and ERC-1155 may alter our methods of commerce forever. We’ll explain why in our feature.
There’s also a bucket of news and interesting topics this week, so much in fact that we couldn’t keep it all in without the episode becoming a bit of a marathon. We also discuss the best ways to mitigate malware (that don’t involve ditching Windows/OSX and swapping to Linux) in our Privacy and Security segment, and check in with Dan Dan the ICO Man – who has apparently managed to score himself a job at the SEC…
Enjoy!
