On Veterans Day, my grandfathers' service in WWII always comes to mind. My understanding of the sacrifices made by our veterans is deeply informed by conversations with my dad's dad. This interview is just a hint at all of the experiences he shared with us:

Is Daphne money? - Collection | OpenSea A series of NFTs promised to my American Economic History students in which Daphne explores whether or not she is, in fact, money.

It's the money and banking section of my American Economic History class, which means I relist my beagle's NFT's (opensea.io/collection/i...) to see if she meets the definition of money. Sadly, Daphne never does. Also, most of my students now think of NFT's as economic history.
