Nobody cares about my asset securitization on the blockchain idea :(



> not only tokens but anything else that can be bought or sold.

Ownership is a combination of possession, control, and enforcement. Blockchain solves the issue with tokens, maybe helps with digital assets, but anything ?

I own my house, for example, because the county records show I own it. But more importantly the county will enforce my ownership and also enforce any related contracts using an armed sheriff.

All that said, I often find myself thinking about this quixotic problem.


Yeah, don't take it too literally. I'm thinking equities, assets, debt obligations, etc.


Possible that I’m misunderstand your model, but I’ve thought about the topic before, mainly for art and to give artist a means of profiting off the future demand for an orginal work, add in tracking the province, etc.

Exactly what are the assets you want to use the blockchain to market as securities and why?

Happy to talk with you more about it, very interested in being in a YC batch too.
