What prevents me from selling my car more than once?<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;So it&#8217;s much like a deed in real estate. A real estate deed is a piece of paper, there is no reason why I can&#8217;t photocopy that paper right? Or there&#8217;s no reason why I can&#8217;t forge a different signature or forge a different address on that deed. That piece of paper is much like a token. It only exists in the context of a full legal framework. Tokens exist not just by themselves, but they must exist within ecosystem, a framework.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>How is joint ownership represented on blockchain?<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;It&#8217;s possible to jointly own an asset technically speaking, that&#8217;s called multi-sig. It&#8217;s entirely possible for multiple signatories to own an account. So let&#8217;s say you have what&#8217;s called a public private key pair, and I have a public private key pair the combination of the two can be used to create a single account on a blockchain. That is usually done in odd numbers so let&#8217;s see a third, so there&#8217;s a tiebreaker and that combination of people can own an account. Let&#8217;s say a corporation owns an account on a blockchain. They don&#8217;t want one person controlling that corporate account let&#8217;s say that company&#8217;s holding cryptos, for example, Micro Strategy is an example of a company that&#8217;s holding cryptos and all likelihood their account is multi-sig meaning that it&#8217;s not one person in the firm. They can&#8217;t run away with the money, it requires multiple parties to agree and sign off on a transaction that occurs in the blockchain.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jamiel&#8217;s<\/strong> <strong>Resources: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blockchain101.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Blockchain 101<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/meetup.com\/pro\/blockchain101\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Blockchain 101 Meetup group<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/instamint.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instamint<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"post-excerpt\"><p>Dive into the basics of trending topics in tech including blockchain technology, NFTs, and the metaverse.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":45,"featured_media":10160,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[127,1],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Recording | Trending in Tech: NFTs, Blockchain, &amp;
