On chain or it didn’t happen. While just for fun today, putting data on chain will replace formal marriage registries in 10-20 years. Deprecate the state, replace it with the network.

My enthusiasm about Web3 & Bitcoin has been clear lately. These present new toolkits for creativity, financial freedom, community, & process efficiency. My curiosity also demands it's not in absence of skepticism. All crypto is not created equal. Optimism & criticism coexisting.

Feel lucky that @WilderWorld has modeled Wiami on Miami geography. I’ve looked at GIS neighborhood / parcel data for years, and now I’ll be able to see those locations reimagined. Metaverse / IRL crossovers around the corner. #DigitalFraternalTwins

Land parcels in Wiami will be non-uniform (unique). Here you can see the various parcel shapes extruded from the map.

Wow! The Miami City Commission just voted in favor of accepting $4.3 million in protocol contributions generated by MiamiCoin, which is built on top of bitcoin. Today marks a huge day for Miami, and a milestone for crypto.
