Webdeeds: Digital Tradeables Without Blockchain Bullshit

Blockchain promised decentralization, security, and freedom. But outside Bitcoin, it's mostly hype. Blockchains were invented to solve one clear problem: resisting government interference in money. Most blockchains these days are just a complicated, costlier version of PayPal.

NFTs? They're glorified IOUs, dependent entirely on custodians. The blockchain doesn't secure your videogame skin NFT; the issuer does. If the game shuts down or refuses to acknowledge your ownership, your "asset" evaporates. Blockchain hasn't fundamentally changed that.

The NFT Lie​

Bitcoin thrives because there's no central custodian. NFTs always have one. That makes NFTs securities, not decentralized assets. You're paying a premium for blockchain promises that don't deliver.

Introducing Webdeeds​

Webdeeds are digital collectibles and tradeables done right. No blockchain. No token pre-sales, No false decentralization promises. Just clear, secure ownership verified by a straightforward server.
