Really? You're gonna compare artificially scarce imaginary property with real property on the real world like land and physical possessions?


> real property on the real world like land and physical possessions

That's "real" only because the government enforces it. My point was that the comment I replied to was ridiculous.


It's "real" because it exists in the real world. It's naturally scarce as a result since two bodies cannot occupy the same space at the same time. There's only so much land available.

It's a completely different matter compared to imaginary artificially scarce cultural property which boils down to ownership of unique numbers. That's what's ridiculous.
