NFTs and the North Pole: High Tech Santa

Dear Santa,

I'm impressed at the way you have kept up with the times. Your elves have moved from simple wooden toys handcrafted in your workshops to modern electronics such as cell phones and video games.

Have you considered adopting the latest blockchain technology?

Here are a few ideas to consider.

When building all those toys, it is crucial to ensure the safety and quality of the parts. The blockchain ledger will show you the origin and track the movement of the components through the supply chain. You won't have to pay extra fees for third-party quality verification.

I am worried about your naughty and nice lists. These days hackers, scammers, and all sorts of unsavory characters like to cause trouble. Are your lists secure? It would be best if you issued Naughty and Nice non-fungible tokens to the children. Delivering your toys to the Nice NFT holders will make them much more manageable.

If you send Naughty and Nice NFTs, that may save you a lot of time on Christmas Eve. Why take the time and energy to go down all those chimneys? Instead, airdrop presents to your Nice NFT holders! Quick and easy! Sure, the children will want the physical toy as well. Our friendly UPS or FedEx delivery people can handle that. Plus, when the children no longer want to play with that toy, they can sell it along with the NFT on the secondary market. That is an excellent sustainable idea. Kids like that these days.

As for your elves, I'm sure they have been through a lot of training throughout the year. Making toys for 2022 takes a lot more ingenuity and creativity. Award certificates of completion in the form of NFT, elves like Buddy will want to finish and pass the class. No way of faking or cheating there.

Remember the health and well-being of Rudolf, Dancer, Vixen, and all the other reindeer. They must be getting up in age these days. I'm sure many veterinarians have treated them through the years. Having their records on the blockchain would save everyone a lot of time and keep them organized in one place — something to consider.

Santa, thank you for all the work you do. I hope you will use the blockchain to be as innovative as possible. There are many uses for this new technology, and you will likely find ways to make your big job much more manageable.

Merry Christmas!

PS. I would love a new hardware wallet or virtual reality headset, please!
