I think that's what's interesting about "blockchains" versus on specific chain.

1. polygon is a cheap(as in transaction fees) knock off of Ethereum, competition good. bad from the perspective of capture value in the protocol.

2. as far as I can tell as long as one oracle doesn't become dominate that provides competition

3. Defi is enabling users value across other networks. uniswap, etc.

4. On a side note, not sure why there's not an api that encrypts an nft on ipfs and only returns the watermarked version unless you send it a fee. or your the owner.

because it's not a real problem. The same way you can buy a mona lisa t-shirt in the gift shop and that doesn't steal any of the value away from the owner.

What you describe could be rather easily implemented, but why would anyone build or use that?

I guess was thinking like a CDN/istockphoto type marketplace.
