Shanghai gives nod to NFT trading platforms – TechCrunch

The government of Shanghai supports "leading companies to explore building NFT exchanges." Although not national, what is trialed in Shanghai can be an example.

“Blockchain should be “deeply merged” with AI, big data and other new technologies to “empower” fintech applications, for instance” - the document says

Holy shit, blockchain merged with AI AND BIG DATA. Somebody get Softbank and Sequoia on the phone, Shanghai is going to be the first city with a quadrillion dollar market cap. How the fuck do I buy calls on Shanghai with margin

    I just know how easy it is to direct the internet hive mind and that there are some interesting non-scammy ideas within blockchain and NFTs.

    How easy is it?

      Very easy if you have money to throw around. If MSM is for sale to corporate interests, social media is even more directly owned by them. Covid and Elon Musk have been the best examples of this imo. If you take a normal PR budget and spend it on internet culture investment you can confuse a whole bunch of people. I think the dead internet theory is partially true, that there are more bots on the internet than people. The feds and corporations throw money at online messaging like nobodies business.

      Vote/view boosting goes a LOOONG way to instilling viewer confidence that “this is legit”. Like there is no way a Fox news video gets millions of views on youtube in 24 hours, that is all manipulation which they use to instill the reactionaries with the idea that they aren’t in the minority (which they are)
