NFT? WTF!

Almost ten years ago, in Spring 2012, I supervised a thesis written by Micha Schimmel simply called Bitcoin. A year later Joeri de Leeuw wrote From cash to virtual currency. Then, in 2014, I was asked by a group of fanatic cryptocurrency people to lecture on “Bitcoin 2.0 and digital contracts”. I told them “I haven’t really fully grasped Bitcoin 1.0 yet, so don’t know if I’m ready for 2.0”. I did accept the invitation, though, and around the same time did another bitcoin lecture for the Dutch IT & Law association. My motivation was the well-known mantra: “If you want to learn something, read about it. If you want to understand something, write about it. If you want to master something, teach it.”
