Episode 131 - Soulbound NFT Tokens - Dystopia or Liberation?

Good morning!  This morning I read an article by Vitalik Buterin where he explores the concept, use cases and issues of soul bound tokens.  I completely love the idea of being able to hold your college transcripts and degrees in your wallet as a non-transferable NFT.  I love that the issuer does not retain permanent control over that data.  However, there needs to be privacy a burning mechanism by the owner of the NFT.  Otherwise, the soulbound token could have deep dystopian implications.
