> I conceived a stock exchange called the Human Stock Exchange, where every human being was a human stock ticker,

I've had a very vague (somewhat similar) idea that I'm stil trying to articulate well.

something like what you said but the stock is run on a blockchain

then every person can emit their own stock which can get traded around.

at some point, the emitter person must (somehow) be made to respond for what they emitted.

naturally, some people will be reliable (and their emited credits will have high value) and others will constantly flop and default so nobody will be interested in having lots of their credit.

so far, this "idea" (which is just barely a sketch) poses more problems than solutions (maybe it's a bit of a barely-baked idea looking for a problem?) but it's fun to think about what else we could possibly do that nobody's thoght to do yet.



Ha it’s actually sort of already happening with NFTs. If your celebrity status goes up your NFT value does too.
