The illusory truth effect, refers to a phenomenon in which people, when hear the same false information repeated again and again, often come to believe it is true. Also, repetition of a such information increases its likelihood of being judged true. Even the most educated individuals are still prone to this effect. They may be skeptical of a false information the first time they hear it, but the more they are exposed to it, the more they start to feel like it’s true, and their previous knowledge is not able to prevent this.

As per your logic:
1. Gold bonds issued by Governments are fake - they are not backed by real gold.

2. Stocks that are sold on earlier in a day on intra-day trading are fake - because the seller never possessed the stock to begin with.

3. Fiat currencies are fake - "fiat" in itself stands for "trust" in the government for that currency, but it is known fact that government doesn't back the currency completely with other assets.

4. Entertainers, magicians, live singers, etc, all are fake - since once you see them perform and pay for it, you dont have anything tangible that you can carry.

5. A digital painting or a NFT is a fake - since i can never hang one on my wall at my home.

The list can go on. You're right, everything is illusory and nothing is the truth. Why are you so wise in your ways! Tongue

It's not per my logic. This is per my logic:

1. Gold bonds are statements about debt. Debt exists.
2. Stocks are statements about companies. Companies exist.
3. Fiat currencies are statements about debt. Debt exists.
4. Entertainers, magicians, live singers, etc, all exist.
5. A digital painting or a NFT exists.

So, what we have above are either statements about things, or the things themselves.

In the blockchain you have Satoshi's statements on nonexistent Bitcoins.

So, what's your point exactly?
