Just my thoughts #0750

Whether cryptocurrency or NFT, a digital asset operates on the blockchain system. A blockchain is simply a ‘book of transactions.’ The great advantage of this ‘trade ledger’ is that it enables ‘credit transactions.’ The most important aspect of a credit transaction is a ‘book’ that proves whether the payment has not yet been made or has been paid in full. Blockchain is a system that makes this ‘ledger’ unchangeable and immune to theft. In other words, the nature and properties of digital assets today are more similar to ‘bonds.’ When someone steals the ‘ledger’ in a ‘credit transaction,’ everything disappears unless a copy exists. If the recorded transactions in the ledger are a means of payment, it is called ‘currency,’ and if it’s ‘art’ or ‘content,’ it’s called ‘NFT.’ They differ only in what they represent, despite sharing similar properties. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

In September 1999, NASA’s unmanned Mars climate probe “MCO” exploded in Mars’ orbit. Manufacturer Lockheed Martin set up the data unit as a “yard,” but NASA mistook it as a “meter.” The MCO entered the atmosphere of Mars 100 km below the original orbit and exploded in friction. Communication error had blown away $ 125 million. With this opportunity, NASA decided that the units used in space development were “meters”. A slip of the tongue in business doesn’t end just a mistake accidentally. It must undoubtedly damage the “cash flow”. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
