Utility Tokens are not Investments

Continuing with the never-ending theme of things crypto people make that also aren’t investments, next on the list, are utility tokens.

In theory, they’re actually not a bad idea. I often describe crypto tokens as gift certificates, and utility tokens are the best example of why. You’re basically buying the right to consume a service. In the context of software, it’s basically like buying a license. People have been buying digital licenses for years and when a new technology doesn’t require new behaviors it’s more likely to be successful. If you stop here and don’t go any deeper, this all looks pretty good.

Asset Tokenization 101 | Tokenization From Inside Out

Asset tokenization is gradually entering markets, democratizing them, and making them safer and more equitable.

Revisiting How Carbon Nanotubes Will Change Renewable Energy

100 times stronger than steel yet 4 times lighter. Conductive and biocompatible. Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are fascinating materials that could channel a kaleidoscope of futuristic technologies around sustainability. They could be a key to the zero-carbon energy future transition. While these graphene tiny tubes have been overhyped as revolutionary for about 30 years, they haven’t made it to the market yet. But we’re seeing slow progress towards interesting use cases, like a recent advancement that could turn carbon nanotubes into hot stuff for generating clean renewable electricity out of waste heat. Let’s revisit carbon nanotubes and see how things are shaping up.
