Not counting all you freeloading right-clickers on here at the 0 eth level, it’s been collected by 9 people so far (7+1+1), for a total of 1.17 eth. It took me about an hour to think through and draw this, so technically this is the highest paid work I’ve ever done.

Given you mentioned at the top money wasn’t the draw for you can you say more about the non-monetary utility you see? The post-once-read-everywhere use case is the most intriguing to me and IPFS seems like the most interesting part of the whole stack.

Is there currently a value-creating purpose to wallets 'owning' identity tokens within the blockchain, or are the positive use cases you've outlined (distributed content-based addressing and automagical consequences thereof) just the bait on the hook of automagic DRM?

In what way is it analogous to owning a right to privacy? There's no hermetic effect here. Nothing sufficiently valuable about the information is or can be concealed. All I see is an obstacle to interoperability within this domain without recognition of the assigned rights.

Tokens are keys that everyone has. They have been given out to everyone already. What everyone does not have is the recognition of association within the ledger. That is of value only when operating in the context of the ledger. Why do I need to accept the rules of the ledger?

Most proximately, I am trying to understand what "giving the keys to my home out randomly" would be analogous to. Fundamentally, I am trying to understand why web3 is so valuable that the encumbrance introduced by automagic property law is something I should disregard.

It’s not an encumbrance if you think default private. We don’t think about having to be careful with house keys as an encumbrance. The default of open access does not make sense in a world based on significant privacy. Public is special/private is natural vs other way round
