Tokenization: The Fractional Ownership of Everything

in #hive-167922last year

The tokenization of everything is going to change a lot of things. We are now only beginning to consider the possibilities.

Tokenization, i.e the creation of digital assets, will be the greatest wealth generator the world ever saw. This is going to be orders of magnitude larger than the impact of the Internet.

At the same time, we are seeing a system whereby the average person is included. This is going to aid in the reduction in income and, more importantly, wealth inequality.

The introduction of Bitcoin radically changed the world. That was the first step in a long line of moves that are bringing about Web 3.0. Since the digital realm is becoming more expansive for society, we can only presume this has a outsized effect as compared to breakthroughs in the past.

While there is a battle taking place right now, if we can look past that, the vision of where this is going is obvious.

The Fractional Ownership of Everything

The tokenization of everything means that everything will have representation in digital form. This is rather obvious. However, we have to consider how revolutionary that is.

Tokenization allows for fractional ownership. This is really the most valuable aspect to the entire transition. While adding liquidity to asset is a powerful benefit, it pales in comparison to what fractional ownership will do for humanity.

There is one caveat: provided everyone is able to participate.

Once assets of all kinds are tokenized, anyone can own a piece. Do you want to own part of a professional sports team? That will be possible. How about a part of a robo-taxi system in a dozen different countries? That also will be likely.

Pieces of Manhattan real estate will be for sale. So will fine works of art. Entire systems can be created with the intention of including millions of people from all over the world.

This is nothing new. We witnessed how fractional ownership changed the world. This started a couple hundred years ago and continues today with the corporation. We only need to look at the size of the different stock markets to realize how large this can be.

Of course, the process of going public is, for the most part, an exclusionary process. Only those with the resources can take this approach. The selling of stock, in this instance, is usually to cash out early investors and venture capital firms.

Tokenization could offer this to every business. Consider the opportunity this present to start up and entrepreneurs.

Therefore, as we can see, there are a couple different ways individual can benefit from this process. One can either be the investor by utilizing the value contained in other cryptocurrency or be the one receiving the funding.

Either way, people who were excluded previously are now included.

The Push For The Status Quo

This is not going unchallenged.

We see an enormous push for the status quo. In the United States, the politicians and bureaucrats are taking a hard stances against cryptocurrency. They are doing all they can to push it into the hands of Wall Street.

Unfortunately, this the same system that created many of the financial problems now. Allowing this group to hijack the realm of digital assets is something that must be fought.

These people are all about control. A system where everyone is free to participate is something that is difficult to control. For all their accusations of terrorism, we know the existing system is apt to even bigger numbers of illegal activity.

It also keep a large percentage of the global population impoverished.

Here we are looking at the status quo as the enemy. It is also why we have to work on erecting a completely new financial system as opposed to simply integrating with the existing one.

The idea that Wall Street is going to serve humanity is beyond laughable.

Universal Basic Income

We hear a lot of discussion about job losses due to technology, especially artificial intelligence. Many propose the idea of universal basic income (UBI).

There are a couple problems with this concept.

To start, it keeps governments in the middle which means they are subject to political winds. We know the system can be abused. How about the idea of you vote for a particular candidate or risk losing your UBI?

Another is the fact that people are ignorant to what truly transforms economies and, hence, individuals. Income is not the solution but, rather, wealth. If we want revolutionize the financial standing along with quality of life for the global population, we need wealth generation as opposed to income.

In other words, the ownership of assets is essential. This is what creates wealth. Having things that can either provide yield (a return) or appreciate over time.

This is what fractional ownership provides.

Some have proposed the idea of Universal Basic Assets (UBA). This is a fine concept yet most still have government in the middle. Blockchain based solutions provide a better alternative.

Web 3.0

Here is where we see Web 3.0 entering. The tokenization of everything means that most assets are available for fractional ownership. Web 3.0 is the resource generator.

When people have the ability to acquire financial resources through their social media or gaming activities, we are truly talking about a new system. This creates the distribution that discussed for centuries without any solutions. Their solutions always entail taking from one to give to another. In the end, this doesn't work out.

Web 3.0 simply distributes the expansion of the value. This can be done in many different ways. Over time, the market will innovate novel ways to achieve this.

Once something is tokenized, it is immediately eligible for fractional ownership.

This presents enormous economic opportunities for billions of people around the world. It is what Web 3.0 and tokenization brings to the table.

In a world where redistribution is corrupted by corporation greed and sleezy politician, Tokenization is obviously the best solution to rebalance the pre-distribution.

Without a doubt the greed for money, control, and power is the motivation, a situation that plays out at the expense of most of the population.

I wish I have adequate knowledge of this digital wealth creation system. Could there be a way of simplifying the explanation for the understanding of lay men like us, so that we all could be able to flow with the trend? We have heard of Bitcoin, we are hearing about cryptocurrency and digital wealth yet a great number of us in the less civilized countries are still novice about it.
The desire to key into the digital wealth creation system even when we don't know the technical know how, has landed most of us in dubious hands where we got defrauded by ponzi schemes and the likes.
Please it will be my utmost pleasure if there could be a way of educating the novice on the elementary basics of cryptocurrency and how one can successfully be a part of it.

It takes a while.

Here is a great resource put together. LeoGlossary has a section on crypto and blockchain. It is like a wikipedia being constructed on here.

Thank you. I contact the #LeoGlossary further information.

I also think that is the point of crypto. This is what Iconomi predicted in the first boom of 2017. They took the tokenized image of the Mona Lisa as an example. With the emergence of NFTs and now Web 3.0 we are closer to this but still very far away.

NFTs do hold interesting potential in terms of ownership. It could be like a digital title.

A lot of ways things could go.

Very excited about web.3. It is very difficult for the little guy to mine a blockchain. But a tokenized blockchain mesh network would be plug & play, passive income! Maidsafe? Skycoin?

A lot of promosing projects. Keep in mind most will fail. But there are going to be some huge winners.

In the digital realm, fractional ownership will give anyone the ability to become wealthy by owning assets. Governments will always want to be in control, it's one of the ways they get their power. Web3 changes everything, building an inclusive world that's beyond the reach of governments.

I wonder which country is pioneering on this tokenization of assets. These are great ideas but we need champions in the legislature or executive branch of government so that this will have regulatory framework.

Wealthy global elitists are dragging this world into a space very quickly where people should be taking note of the changes happening around them. Global tokenization most definitely quick money for the greed flourishing in the world currently.

Web 3 is a stable distribution blockchain where everyone holds control, fair access available for those prepared to take ownership of their own assets.

The idea that Wall Street is going to serve humanity is beyond laughable.

No doubt about that. I can't even start talking about why nothing Wall Street ever touches is any good to humanity. We can't let them touch crypto nor control it, but that's lefts for individuals to determine.

Making sure everyone around the world owns a fraction of what's out there is the first step to making our voices heard and therefore making it harder and more expensive for them to buy their way in. They definitely would someday be a big player in the crypto world but the difference is they won't be the only big players. Here we can imagine not only thousands but millions of big players scattered all around the world. that's decentralization at its core and the purpose that the blockchain is here to serve but we have to partake long enough to make it all worthwhile.

Tokenization is the future. And owning a fraction of a wealth-generating asset is better than being paid pennies every month end.

Without a doubt. It is an entirely new system based upon inclusion. We have the pairing of corporations with governments. That is not a good situation for humanity.

Honestly I can't wait for an "Everything app" that allows me to buy tokenized land, stocks, houses and whatever else. I think that's going to be one heck of an epic time to live in. We are kind of already seeing this shape up outside of the crypto world but it makes sense that it would soon be incorporated in and usher in a new era of investing.

I would agree with you. Imagine taking some of your earnings on posts and buying fractional ownership in something like a downtown building, an apartment complex, or a start up company.
