The value is that it allows for ownership of a specific asset that cannot be argued against. It is immediately accessible, communicable, and you can verify ownership of said asset.
Instead of making nfts for land on the moon, replace the asset with property deeds. And replace/automate whatever you can cost efficiently in the property deeds process and infrastructure with blockchain.

Never before have artists had this much control of their ip.
The technology was championed through artistic channels and we're still very early which is why it is the majority of the attention.
Some of these NFTs have intrinsic value simply for being the firsts/help create upon a technology that will continue to permeate through our culture and livelihood.
Business are doing exactly that. They are using private blockchains to improve their existing architecture and enable new features. There is also an entire 'altcoin' market around this.

I'm not going to give you a report in HN comments. You should DYOR.
> Evolve what? You don't even seem to be sure and are just guessing that it's novel and surely has some value, but you don't know why?
I'm not the deciding factor in what bitcoin becomes and won't try to guess what its use cases will be. We didn't know why/what the Internet was going to be used for and then it grew and evolved into what it is today.
> Trillions? Where do you get this number from?
Bitcoin's leading use case is a store of value, sometimes referred to as 'digital gold'. It has several improvements to the store of value use case. Gold's market cap is ~$9 trillion. Bitcoin already has a $350mm market cap so trillion+ is likely in the next several years.
Most of what I stated are just facts, you can argue against them all you want. You don't understand why blockchain technology is so important.
As for why would you want that? Ledgers are a fundamental part of how many things work. Blockchain is an evolution of the ledger. It literally makes things faster, cheaper, more secure.
Bitcoin's blockchain will disrupt (evolve) something. The leading use case is a store of value. If that is to be adopted then bitcoin's value will be in the trillions.
Who knows what it will be used for, but it will be used.
Blockchain is a disruptive technology on the same level as the invention of the Internet. It is the first global, transparent, immutable ledger. We are only just beginning discovery on what we can do/improve from here.
I learned a new term used on HN yesterday, 'bikeshedding'. It perfectly applies to bitcoin/blockchain.
I'm open to having a cofounder if anyone sees the game as an opportunity.
It's a very simple game mechanic with some complex supporting features. There is a game play area of ~500k pixels with hidden tokens behind some of them. Users earn 'stamina' throughout the day in attempt to find the larger prizes.
It's been getting nice traction with ~100 daily active users and growing.
They don't need to have a delete button or even any action items in the UI - just be able to provide the service if/when requested.
