How to beat financial repression
China, as we have mentioned before, has issues with digital ownership and though it has not moved to ban NFT marketplaces, the feeling is that is the direction it will go
To capture that zeitgeist we offer this article from Cointelegraph:
Alibaba Cloud launches NFT solution… then quickly memory holes it
(https://cointelegraph.com/news/alibaba-cloud-launches-nft-solution-then-quickly-memory-holes-it)
"The firm’s NFT marketplace solution included “web hosting, digital marketing & content delivery” infrastructure, but is no longer listed on its website despite still showing up in Google search results.

The cloud business unit of Chinese marketplace giant Alibaba Group Holdings launched a new NFT solution and then promptly deleted all mention of it online. According to a now-deleted Twitter post announcing the launch on June 8, the firm’s NFT marketplace solution included “web hosting, digital marketing & content delivery” infrastructure, but is no longer listed on its website despite. There are also no press releases or announcements related to the NFT solution on Alibaba’s website anymore, and while the solution’s webpage link still shows up in Google search results, it now redirects to Alibaba Cloud’s solution index page.

Deleted Alibaba Cloud tweet: WayBackMachine The reason behind the deleted social media posts and delisting on its website are unclear at this stage. While crypto trading and mining are banned in China, there is a regulatory gray area with NFTs in the country — officials frown upon it but are yet to issue an outright ban. The shortly lived NFT focused solution was set to offer Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS) and Auto Scaling for marketplace growth, an SMS-integrated digital marketing service for sellers to connect with buyers, and a Global Delivery Service – Alibaba Cloud Content Delivery Network (CDN) and Server Load Balancer (SLB) capable of supporting 100,000 queries per second. The South China Morning Post (SCMP) — which is owned by Alibaba — noted that the solution was intended for customers outside of mainland China, with a representative telling the publication that the solution was for Alibaba Cloud’s international website only. The SCMP also stated that Alibaba affiliated companies such as Ant Group and Tencent Holdings have moved to avoid any potential regulatory pushback in the past by branding their listed NFTs as “digital collectibles.” They are also offered on private blockchains and are traded/purchased using Chinese fiat currency. libaba Cloud does still have a new Metaverse-focused solution listed on its website that offers remote rendering, data analytics and AI, along with Blockchain as a Service (BaaS) as part of the private Alibaba Cloud Blockchain. Under the Metaverse solution, the company does note that NFTs can be integrated into a Metaverse built off of Alibaba’s services, but the firm does not provide any of that specific infrastructure. In April, the China Banking Association, the China Internet Finance Association and the Securities Association of China issued a joint statement warning the public away from investing in NFTs due to “hidden risks” of the assets. They also noted that businesses should not consider NFTs like other financial products such as securities, precious metals, and other financial products. Cointelegraph also reported in March that Chinese social media giants such as WeChat and WhaleTalk updated their policies to restrict or remove NFT platforms from their networks, citing a lack of regulatory clarity and fearing a government crackdown. However, Beijing is still yet to issue a blanket ban on the sector." Now that is an opportunity for the rest of the world to steal a beat in what is becoming an ever more mainstream marketplace, an area of growth for reasons we have bored you with on numerous occasions. Rather than repeat that argument, though wholly valid, we would instead ask you to consider why China is potentially looking to shut this door. The answer, in our view, is as a country that has rigid capital controls and wants to keep capital on shore the cryptoverse represents not just a threat to that practice in terms of its ease in moving money offshore but with NFTs bringing digital ownership (of real-world assets in our case - and more will follow down that path) of moving asset ownership offshore or away from auth's control/view. Why are we mentioning this, because capital controls are a form of financial repression, and the West is already enduring that through higher inflation and lower bond yields, with likely more draconian moves to be made as time moves forward. This is part of the way the West works off its immense debt mountain (China has an equally precarious debt mountain to navigate btw). So what is the best way to combat this as an individual looking to protect or even grow their wealth in such a hostile environment? Portable stores of value - digital (NFT) rubies. FIX00 is answering the call - protection, innovation, and deliverability.
