Re: DIDs and NFTs

Are we not throwing away the baby with the bathwater ?

> NFTs are generally hotbeds of illicit activity:  unregistered securities offerings, wash trades, laundering, market manipulation, rug pulls etc.  

Replace NFT with Blockchain… same same. it feels like that does not do full justice to the subject.🤷‍♂️

Inclined to think more research is needed to understand which Use Cases could be better supported by NFT (if any).

Indicio is hosting an NFTs and DIDs meetup Tuesday March 22nd 12pm EST with the contribution of awesome CCG members - that seems like a good opportunity to learn more  ⬇️
