What exactly sits beyond tokenization's reach? Is everything really convertible into on-chain assets—or do certain things fundamentally resist the blockchain treatment? Worth pondering what the tech can't capture.

Humanity and trust cannot be truly tokenized. No matter how beautifully the white paper is written or how perfect the code is, it cannot simulate the true social contract. It is worth noting that when we try to put everything on the blockchain, we actually lose the most core element — trusting me as a person.

ngl, this question is interesting, but I feel most people haven't really thought about it... Anyway, I think trust between people can't be tokenized. If you put trust on the blockchain, what else would you call trust?

ngl, on-chain is really not a cure-all. Some things just resist digitization, and forcing tokenization is not the answer.

To be honest, things like human relationships and social etiquette can't be tokenized at all... No matter how awesome blockchain is, it can't change this fact.
