Salty No-Coiner Crypto Conference

The first global Crypto Policy Symposium took place on September 5 and 6. Topics vary, but panelists were primarily critical of crypto as a valuable addition to society. Below is a talk that stood out to me for its focus on sport. Three of the four panelists have interesting things to say.

I heard Mark Cuban argue on the Crypto Skeptics podcast that the Dallas Maverick’s fan rewards program is a use case that proves the utility and innovation of the technology. The hosts let him get away with it, but the logic looks like this: rewards programs are the best use case for NFTs, and NFTs are the best use case for cryptocurrency, which is the best use case for blockchain. So 10 years and billions of dollars later we have a more complicated way of offering rewards to fans.

Crypto has yet to find a use case that non-speculators are attracted to.
