Well, I at least partially agree with most of that. I would say that Flybondi's use of NFT tickets still seems like an excuse to outsource a large portion of their customee services while still taking a 2% cut of any flight changes, with minumal (if any) customer benefit. I remember while ago hearing that concert ticket vendors were experimenting with NFT tickets, and I guess I could see the use case their, but I'd still say that has trade offs with physical tickets, and could best be described as a lateral move. I'd be curious to read any info on how B2B NFTs are used, if you have any links.

I do have disagree on Zuckerberg's VR gamble, though. AR is significantly different than VR, and he went hard on full-blown VR tech. He may be able to adapt it to AR going forward, but that's probably going to be salvaging a loss for at least the short to mid-term. Even if it does give him a strong leg up on AR, that's not really his gambling paying off, that's placing a bad bet and getting lucky anyway.

I don't want to doxx myself but I can link to websites of corporate players.

Zuck will not get back 60bn from VR, but a lot of that tech (quest 3 with passthrough) is now in AR. They have the opportunity to replace the smartphone.
