Maybe we're fully dystopian enough now to imagine another kind of NFT marketplace, where the items being collected are a statements of abuse. I.e., an unprivileged person lodges a (possibly anonymous) complaint about another (possibly anonymous) person. That complaint becomes a digital "fact" and is recorded on a blockchain. At some future time when one of the parties in the complaint becomes famous, rich, successful, or interesting in some kind of social network way, the complaint could be de-anonymized in exchange for digital currency.

How much would the market pay for historical evidence against famous abusers?
