Community that is permissionless, that everybody can join, is organized around the idea of trust between sellers and buyers, specifically of luxury goods that have an enumerated or like an identifying ID. In that case, you think about luxury watches. Each of them have, and even Prada today have RFIDs on all the clothes, right? You can actually scan those things. I've been playing around.

Have you ever seen this thing called Flipper? No. What is it? Is this thing recorded like with a video? I can bring it here. Yeah. Yeah. Well, basically Flipper is a purpoise.

This is this thing. Some people use it for nefarious stuff. But it can scan all of those RFID stuff, you know, RFC, RFID, all of those. And it can scan it and then replay it. So you can actually, you can go to my fob of my elevator and copy it and replay it and write it somewhere.

But what's interesting with this and those readers is like, you know, you can basically verify that this is that because Prada shirts have now RFIDs, right? Some watches have RFIDs, you know, those things don't need batteries. And there's no way for you to read that signal without like, you have to be next to it to read that signal.

So that means that you can create the type of backend that verify that somebody has a certain watch next to them. Not only this, you can enforce the existence of this item as something called, basically call it like an NFT. I'm sorry for, I know that word has a lot of bad baggage, but just think about it as a piece on the internet that is tied with that item that cannot be replicated.

And for sure, in a mathematical way, you can prove that this is the one. And you say, hey, like in order for me to buy it from you, this is going to go to an escrow that also exists in a permissionless way. with my money in a permissionless way. When I get it, the only way for me to get it is when I get it in my hand, the only way to
