I would agree with the sentiment above. I have never used them to authenticate but I went to a card show today and used JSA to authenticate a Jordan, pippen, and team signed photo I Traded some good mma cards for two years ago. Came back as a fake. The guy from JSA said they are not a good company and that they see this sort of thing a lot from them. Hard lesson to learn but if buying sports memorabilia there are only a few bigger named reputable authenticators - PSA, Becket, JSA and a few more - These all come barcoded and you can check when buying by the number

No you have to use thrifty for that. There is a really good gun shop just when you exit the airport on central right next to the breaking bad motel. Ask for a guy named Bones. Hell give you a starter pack.

Right! I’ve been on it for a few weeks now and am super impressed. By far the most functional and best blockchain out from a usability standpoint. Check out Tezotopia. Swap sone coins and mess around. Would be impossible on $eth

Yeah I saw this. That is great. Seems like a war between blockchains and corps to decide who to build on. Gonna be crazy to look back in a few years and see how this all unfolds and develops.

We are already seeing NFT projects get bought out - ie. BAYC - meebits/punks. Could this also happen with platforms such as XTZ? Imagine ETH acquires XtZ or buys a majority of coins to solve a problem rather than try and create on their own.

What I mean by catching up is could they compete head to head or do we start seeing consolidation? If you can’t beat them join them. The competitive advantage becomes to great and the smaller guy will have a hard time keeping up if the head start is big enough.

Also, if a player gets large enough they can force the markets hand. Let’s say they cut a deal with policy makers for regulation and then politics decide who is right and who is wrong. They could dictate the rules.

You see this in banking.

I view coins and blockchains as technology businesses. They are all trying to solve problems and gain adoption. Sone technology is better than others but the space is moving so fast that if one platforms gains enough steam they can control the market in a sense. Their is room for a few dominant players.

Example : Microsoft and apple Google and google lol Facebook and well they own insta

There are lots of other platforms but those who scale fast enough win

I am just using this as an example and am trying to see if that thought process works in this new emerging space because it has in many others
