fakes wouldn't come with a token that verifies the book is authentic. They are doing the same thing with luxury watches and fashion items. i.e. the real Gucci purse comes with an NFT, (likely NFT + NFC) for authentication and coms with the brand.

only "official" books that were written by the author would come accompanied with a token that verifies it; to side-step marketplaces (at least on physical copies), publishers could embedded an NFC chip into the book, consumer taps it with their phone to auth it; token also gets access to special discord, early release of author's next book, etc

Instead of "working" with Amazon to get one of these books removed (sounds super fun), here's a solution I could help an author implement: attach an NFT to each "official" book sold. Either at payment (for digital copies; might require marketplace buy-in) and/or via an NFC in the book binding. Use the token/NFC as a means of authentication, and a way connect with the author, other fans, etc.

Hi, I'm working on solutions to currency inflation and would love some help. Similar to a COLA (cost of living adjustment) on your salary, I think people should receive a COLA on their savings. Inflation destroys economies and lives all over the world, due mostly to uncontrolled currency printing by gov't. And, as obvious as it may sound, we don't have to sit back and just accept it anymore. We can build tools that protect people, and their savings, from dramatic losses in value. To do that, I am building an NFT "Russian doll" that is linked to CPI (consumer price index). How does it work?: As CPI rises past a predetermined level, the smart contract in the Russian Doll nft will auto-mint the holder a new NFT (Russian Doll #2), which the holder can then sell to cover inflation. Buyer of Russian Doll #2 gets same inflation protection, as CPI rises past a predetermined level, RD #2 auto-mints RD #3, and on and on.

As governments print more money, and prices rise, the hope is that citizens can use these NFTs to combat that rise in price. That is the basic idea, which we can iterate on. I'm super excited about it simply because I think it has the potential to do a lot of good in this world. look forward to hearing from anyone interested, please reach out!!! (pdeckr at gmail).
