If I have a real diamond, and I allow 100 people to each take a picture and each make an NFT where I get a slice of the proceeds if sold, then I average 100 a day for 10 years, then in ten years I will have had revenue streams from 365k different NFTs.
Then there will be a fire, the diamond will be destroyed (wink wink - diamond? fire?) then rinse, repeat.
Those with the technical ability will be able to make a ring with a tiny OLED screen, and will be able to put the diamond NFT on the screen, like a real diamond ring.
Those who are smart will NFT a picture of that ring with the diamond on the screen. Somebody who buys seven of those NFTs will be able to put the pics on their Apple watch, and rotate once a day.
Then that person could make an NFT of the rotation, and then sell that to another.
I went to a car show. I took a picture of a cool car. It became infinitely cooler when I made the picture into an NFT. That gave me the permanent right to that asset. I sued everyone else who had ever taken a picture of the car, because I had the NFT. The owner of the car
also just handed over the car to me because I had the NFT. Now I have some pretty cool wheels to tool around in.
NFTs win bigly.
P.S. The other picture owners did not give up without a fight and I am now barred from suing people in my state. I am also defending myself
against charges of grand theft auto because strictly speaking, the owner of the car hadn't fully recognized my ownership of the car when I drove away. I'm pretty sure I will win because I have the NFT and he left the keys under the seat at the car show.

@jpohhhh@adamscochran@LongShortTrader Points of fact and points of insinuation are always problematic when dealing with a thread which just throws ๐ฉ at a wall.
"John Smith worked too hard in a stressful job, and died of a heart attack." A reader might draw the conclusion that stress killed him. But would have
@jpohhhh@adamscochran@LongShortTrader ignored the part about him smoking two packs of cigarettes, eating 9,000 calories a day, and drinking two six-packs a night.
He may have had a stressful job but saying one and ignoring the other doesn't make it accurate.
@jpohhhh@adamscochran@LongShortTrader Look at 3/31. Net income "struggled" the way Amazon's has. The reason is not much debated. Any equity analyst covering the stock will tell you why.
"They were getting very little actual revenue to grow their empire."
Really? The $65 billion in revenue last year was...
2.25PWh of generation has no concept of peak usage. It is just electricity. It may not be as useful 24/7 as steady state electricity, but it is just electricity. You count it. You work around its inefficiencies. There are grid problems. etc.
farms in any modern sense of the word featured in the up-to-2012 data collected for that 2013 NREL report cited do not compete with modern, existing farms for which we have data.
2.25PWh is 1350x the output of the nearly 10yr old Solar Star Farm which is on 3200 acres.
Total of 1350x3200 acres is 6750 sqm. Other large farms are reasonably similar. As also noted repeatedly, Solar Star is not the most efficient in panels or land use. It's old. But it exists.
More modern empirical data exists. One just has to look a little harder for it.
W, At some point you have to stretch your boundaries.
There is nothing which says 8.3 on Table ES1. I understand your arithmetic now. You are calculating how much a square meter of area generates 24/7/365, even in the middle of the night.
I missed the news Wednesday but VEDL came up with their div. Back in late Oct 2020, they came up with a Rs 9.5 div when the stock was trading < 100 after the Delisting Offer failed. They still "owed" a HUGE passthrough to investors from HZ. They didn't pay it, and the promoters
bought more at 160 < 2mos later. Then bought more at 235 in the Partial Offer. After that, they could pay a big div.
Now it is 310. And rich-ish vs peers.
NOW they are paying a Rs 18.5 div. And they STILL owe shareholders more from HZ passthrough.
Incentives drive outcomes.
That was one of my few timestamps last year.
BTW... The HZ-1 was the model name of a cost-no-object head amp that Pioneer made in the early 1980s. It was (is, if you have one (and I have a few)) simply the best head amp made commercially. Ever.
Seiko NODA also thinking about running and she has had a political role (former Minister for Internal Affairs, and M for Women's Empowerment). Abe critic.
Former FM KONO Taro. Popular with the youngs, but was in charge of vaccine rollout, which has been... less goodly.
Lastly, ISHIBA Shigeru - former Defence Minister and 'security maven', longtime Abe critic - may throw his hat into the ring. People like him. MPs don't. Also, he has criticised BOJ's low rates (which may be why many elderly like him).
