lenilsonjron No, your NFT is not on the blockchain

A lot of the problems with NFT mutability seem to stem from the fact that most simply do not understand yet how IPFS works.

lenilsonjron Operation Serenata de Amor – An AI project to analyze public spending in Brazil

You're missing one important thing here.

Take this one, for instance: https://jarbas.serenata.ai/layers/#/documentId/6185347

R$239.50 or $74. That's 25% the minimum wage here in Brazil.

This means that this congressman was paying for someone else's meal, which is in itself an act of corruption.

And even if that's not the case, most Brazilians can't afford a 40 BRL meal on a regular basis, so why should a politician be able to do so with our money?

If you dig deeper into other reports, you can also see congresspeople spending public money in sex shops and clubs, for instance (https://twitter.com/cuducos/status/840882495868530688).

Yes, he is/was an investor in Twitter (according to his AngelList profile).

Although, I find Twitter the simplest social media platform to control the information stream that you consume. Actually, because of that, it is the only social media site that I usually visit.

Sell it, and then use the money to start the journey again. It will be more fun.
