In today's Modern Digital Enterprise, the digital transformation podcast from Anexinet, Steve and Glenn discuss NFTs with Andy Ofiesh, former Software Engineer for Bitcoin Armory. Are they a speculative investment or a status symbol? Proof of ownership or proof of fandom? What are the risks? What are the benefits? Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT)s are cryptographic assets the ownership of which is tracked on a blockchain via unique identification codes and metadata that distinguish them from each other: digital certificates of authenticity stored on the blockchain. This episode also answers the following: What are Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT)s? What can be sold as an NFT? What is the significance using Ethereum vs. Bitcoin as a payment method? What does Proof of Work have to do with it? What does “ownership” of a digital file mean, anyway?What are you paying for? What do you own? Why do some NFTs have multiple owners? Is proof of ownership really proof of fandom? Why are NFTs even a thing?? How are NFTs an investment??How do NFTs help artists? How do they hurt artists? Are they only useful for established artists? How much of an issue is counterfeiting? What are the applications for the Enterprise? Will this pass as a fad or become more formalized?Where do we think this is going? What are CryptoPunks and CryptoKitties?Are we just too old to get it?

NFTs: Speculation or Status Symbol? With Andy Ofiesh

A lot has happened since the last time Steve spoke with his friend Andy Ofiesh, comedian and former Software Engineer at Bitcoin Armory (his brother's company). In fact, a lot has happened since they recorded this episode only two weeks ago. Namely that the price of Bitcoin has skyrocketed from $2,600 to $10K! This time, the conversation is all about Bitcoin—and about the November 17th "crash" that occurred after the cancellation of the SegWit2x hard fork. You'll learn what caused the dip in the price of Bitcoin and why it has the tendency to behave with such volatility. Plus, Andy and Steve discuss the following:  What is a hard fork? What is the SegWit2x fork? How does a Bitcoin hard fork differ from the standard definition of a hard fork? What is Bitcoin Armory and what do they do? What does giant Polynesian stone currency have to do with Bitcoin? Is there a limit to how many Bitcoin will be produced? What is the significance of this limit? Why did Bitcoin need to double the block size? What’s the difference between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash? What might cause Bitcoin to become centralized? Why is Etherium is not doing as well as Bitcoin? Who wrote the original white paper / Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? How much of the world’s energy is Bitcoin consuming and how does this affect the price of Bitcoin? How many times may a Bitcoin be subdivided? What does the future hold for Bitcoin? Is there a limit to Bitcoin’s potential value?  If you missed it, be sure to listen to Part I of this series, all about Blockchain.  Links in this episode: Rai Stones
