Own your own star

[Zermelo]

A while back, you could "buy " a name for a star from one of many dubious firms.

The 21st century version of course involves NFTs...

Had to look up what an NFT is! I consider myself educated on both the NFT and the linked star names venture - thank you. On the surface it definitely looks like a repackaged star names venture - shame these NFTs appear to be so energy intensive.

Well, after all, as Yun Tianming was told,

"In my opinion, aesthetics matters the most when you’re buying a star. It’s much better to possess a faraway star that you can see than a nearby star that you can’t. It’s much better to own a bare star that you can see than a star with planets that you can’t. In the end, all we can do is look at it."

That's all you can do with a NFT too (apart from speculating)! 🤔

Not true, you can stake an nft into a pool for APY returns.

Staking into a pool only brings this picture to my mind, I'm afraid...
