Precious metals—silver, gold, platinum, palladium—represent a massive market opportunity that's largely been ignored by crypto. The tokenization sector? Nearly non-existent. You've got maybe 30-100k projects floating around, most with zero momentum or community backing worth mentioning. The real shift happening now: traders are ditching traditional naming conventions and gravitating toward 'shiny rocks' as the go-to term. It's spreading fast across communities. The naming evolution reflects something bigger—people actually want a simpler, more approachable way to interact with these asset classes onchain. The infrastructure's there. The appetite's there. What's missing is a proper, scalable tokenization framework that captures that demand.

Shiny rocks really became a hot topic, but honestly most projects are just vaporware... Let's wait and see who can actually develop a reliable framework. --- The tokenization of precious metals has been seriously underestimated, just not sure if a decent one will emerge. --- "shiny rocks" haha, traders' naming taste is getting more and more eccentric... But infrastructure is in place, only that key solution is missing. --- Between 30k and 100k projects, still no movement, which is quite ironic... The real opportunity might still be undiscovered. --- The problem isn't demand, but that no one has nailed down a scalable solution; all these half-baked schemes are useless. --- Now more people are talking about "shiny rocks," but only a few can actually get this stuff on-chain and running.

NGL, the on-chain precious metals sector has indeed been seriously underestimated. I laughed at the "shiny rocks" meme haha. --- Wait, are there only 30-100k zombie accounts for projects? Feels pretty similar to the NFT bubble back then. --- Even with infrastructure in place, still lacking frameworks? Basically, no one really wants to do this. --- I'm optimistic about this direction, just worried it might get messed up by some big VC. --- "shiny rocks" is really going to take off, much better than those flashy names. --- The problem isn't the mechanism; it's that no one believes in the liquidity of on-chain precious metals.

Putting precious metals on the blockchain is really a barren land; not many people have tried it. The "shiny rocks" meme haha, it's easier to remember than any official terminology. Let's wait and see who can develop this framework.
