Remember when we said "e-commerce"? Now nobody bothers—it's just shopping. Smartphones? Please, they're phones now.

Same thing's happening with tokenized equities. Right now we're careful with the label. But how long before blockchain-based stocks are simply... stocks?

The pattern's clear: novelty becomes normal. Today's innovation is tomorrow's baseline. And tokenization? It's not staying niche forever.

Yeah, there's no problem with this logic. The process of terminology淘汰 (elimination) is exactly like this. --- Once tokenized equity is truly rolled out, those opposing now will still be shouting about blockchain. --- Basically, new terms become everyday language after being used extensively; there's nothing surprising about it. --- +1, we're still explaining the concept of blockchain now, but in five years, probably no one will care about this term. --- But the real issue is whether regulations can keep up; when terminology changes, the legal framework should change too. --- Haha, are you reading poetry here? It should have been like this a long time ago—stop repeating the words "decentralization" over and over.

Ha, this logic is perfect. That's exactly how it is.

ngl I buy this logic. Ultimately, we still need to remove the labels. Now calling it tokenized equity feels as awkward as insisting on saying e-commerce back in the day.

To be honest, this logic doesn't quite hold up... Did e-commerce eliminate traditional retail? Did smartphones replace feature phones? It's not about integration but substitution; tokenized stocks will ultimately be suppressed and regulated to death.

ngl, this logic has some substance. When tokenized stocks become everyday terminology, the group of people who once shouted "revolution" will probably have already made a fortune.

Haha, really, who still talks about "blockchain stocks" now? Eventually, it'll just be "stocks."

Wait a minute, isn't this logic reversed? What was e-commerce called before? Or do humans just like to give fancy names to complicated things?
