Otherside
Scarcity without footfall is a smaller number of things nobody wants. Not a place to put a venture until a population exists to serve.
Scored against the six conditions
Each score has written reasoning, so a disagreement can be with one number rather than with the assessment.
Persistence
Deeds persist on-chain; sustained open access to the world itself has been intermittent.
Enforceable scarcity
Fixed by the largest land mint ever conducted.
Footfall
No sustained population. Land was sold and priced before the world it referred to was open.
A unit that leaves
ApeCoin is liquid and redeemable outside the world, which is most of what the deed has been good for so far.
Standing that travels
Wallet-portable only, and with no sustained population there is no reputation for an identity to carry anywhere.
Labour that never sleeps
No native agent layer, and nothing to staff.
