I can track a cryptocurrency moving from one wallet to the next on the blockchain. I can see exactly what wallets interacted with that wallet.

Why can i not do this with digital media. Why do i have to rely on faith towards a publisher to be certain footage is unaltered and legal.

If the original publisher, a war journalist for Example. (And mind i agree they can still frame and be incorrect but they are closest to a real source) uploads their footage to a blockchain network and states that any valid unaltered use must happen trough this network then differentiating between good and bad faith posts becomes much easier.

I don’t care what system we end up using or how we Call it. I feel like nfts wherd abused to death leaving a bad taste but there was something there we just didn’t try. Currently we seem to do fuck all finding a solution for misinformation, Ai images are already getting mixed up with reality.

Proper tracking of footage used in the “global information network” should have been standard ages ago. It is necessary for a healthier internet. If you just read nft blabla then you miss my point.
