Read the book Ticket Masters. Explains how they've basically formed a monopoly via their merger with LiveNation - Ticket Master controls all major venues and thus all ticketing systems.

>they've basically formed a monopoly via their merger with LiveNation

Having a DoJ that absolutely adores mergers - that might not be working out for us.


So, given that, is it possible to disrupt LiveNation instead?


Great application of GPT-3, fun and light-hearted!


Not a bad thing - new users are already used to the navigation.


This is standard verbiage in financial docs of this sort


Good dips to buy, I rarely see literal FUD by the definition of the acronym. Some crypto is being firesold, COIN stock is being firesold

Is it the bottom idk


Fails to address that users on centralized Web3 platforms have ability to exit platform, which isn’t an option in Web2.

I can transfer out an NFT from OpenSea ecosystem. I can transfer BTC out of Coinbase.


Wonder what Fred thinks about having a single-shared database (Ethereum) vs. having multiple shared databases (SOLUNAVAX).


A lot of HN hate on Web3... is the alternative to lay down and let big tech win?


Axie is built on Ethereum, meaning in-game assets (NFTs) are technically transferrable off-platform.

Vitalik (creator of Ethereum) attributed one of his reasons for creating Ethereum to Blizzard taking away one of his in-game items in World of Warcraft in 2010:

"I was born in 1994 in Russia and moved to Canada in 2000, where I went to school. I happily played World of Warcraft during 2007-2010, but one day Blizzard removed the damage component from my beloved warlock's Siphon Life spell. I cried myself to sleep, and on that day I realized what horrors centralized services can bring. I soon decided to quit."


Axie has banned the assets of players who have violated the TOS, so apparently they aren't decentralized enough to prevent Vitalik's origin story from reoccurring. Or is your point that those assets could be used in another game? Why would anybody do that?


Axie may not be the end all be all, just a start towards a new future of digital ownership.


No gameplay balancing by design sounds terrible. Release one bad overpowered item or spell and the game is forever ruined.


Valid criticism.


Pretty sure Axie has its own blockchain
