And many blended proofs, and new alternative proofs, will also continue to be discovered and used, as are DAG's and other structures. Still early days therein, here's a random one among many... https://www.idena.io/ Crypto's eventual displacement of GovBankMil will also remove those needless and violent parties as risk factors and legacy prime competitors that todays proofs must still expend many cycles in defense of. Advent of atomic and other anonymous cross-coin cross-layer-0 DEX systems will bleed pressure off all of todays hot debates, becoming the frictionless peaceful route to global value discovery. As such, such DEX are the single most important technology that still needs to be researched and rolled out, ASAP.

Cryptocurrency: NFT Protip
by grarpamp 30 Nov '21

30 Nov '21

The resale value on first-sold NFT's to date has either been less than the first-sold price, or zero. Rat's worthless scat off ebay literally commands higher prices than vast swaths of the entire NFT resale market. And if anyone ever tries to sell you duskgy in a back alley someday, tell them Tor lied so it's worth zero too.
