What’s new? In an interview with Forbes, billionaire Mark Cuban said that NFTs could be a great substitute for some books, especially textbooks. In his view, non-fungible tokens will help students recoup money for a resold book. In addition, Cuban noted that NFTs would allow authors with publishers to receive a set royalty fee. The billionaire stressed that this is not possible with physical books.
What else did Cuban say? The entrepreneur believes that blockchain technologies and NFTs will help more than just the book industry. According to Cuban, they can make health insurance more efficient and fair. He said that blockchain could be used to create a pre-approval platform for insurance claims with thousands of validators who would be rewarded for their work.
