Dogecoin — the crypto token that was started as a joke and that is the favourite of Elon Musk — is having a bit of a moment. The Dogecoin "price" graph Kelly posted was almost vertical. During a discussion of NFTs, Larry Masinter pointed me to his 2012 proposal The 'tdb' and 'duri' URI schemes, based on dated URIs. The proposal's abstract reads: As far as I can tell, this proposal went nowhere, but it raises a question that is also raised by NFTs. What is the point of a link that is unlikely to continue to resolve to the expected content? A 2003 study found that on the Web, about one link out of every 200 broke each week,[1] suggesting a half-life of 138 weeks. Follow me below the fold for the connection between NFTs, "link rot" and Web archiving.	./cache/blog-dshr-org-4.html	./txt/blog-dshr-org-4.txt
