Imagine a scenario: VR and AR have truly become widespread. By 2030, devices like Apple Vision Pro are standard equipment, and people spend 18 hours a day in the metaverse. The values of the new generation of young people have completely changed— a rare dragon-slaying sword NFT is worth more in their eyes than 100 BNB. Massive capital is flowing from traditional crypto and L1 tokens into metaverse assets.
What will happen then?
Hard currencies like BNB suddenly become "the gold of the older generation," and no one wants them anymore. Protocols that use BNB as the main collateral, including Lista DAO, are beginning to shake at their foundations. Why? Because the entire design logic of Lista is built on a single assumption: **BNB is a hard currency**. When this assumption is denied by the new generation, problems arise.
From an evolutionary system perspective, Lista will either need to transform, starting to accept assets like NFTs and virtual real estate as collateral. But there’s a huge pitfall—these assets have extremely poor liquidity and their valuations are hard to quantify. How do you price a dragon-slaying sword? How do oracles feed the price? The **risk control challenges of non-standard assets** are right in front of us.
Either transform, facing unprecedented bad debt risks, or refuse to adapt, and you’ll just age along with BNB, eventually turning into a vintage shop in the digital world.
What is the essence behind all this? **Value is always subjective**. The financial edifices we consider unbreakable today might just be useless relics of the past for future humans. Protocols that fail to keep up with the narrative of the times will ultimately be swept into the trash heap by the torrent of history.

Nah, the Dragon Slayer NFT is actually more valuable than BNB, I really didn't expect that, but it's not impossible either.
Lista, this wave is indeed risky. Betting on BNB as hard currency will eventually backfire.
The pricing of non-standard assets is just too extreme. Oracles really can't handle it.

The pricing of the Dragon Slayer Sword is really a huge joke. How is the oracle supposed to feed this thing?

Dragon Slayer NFT more valuable than BNB? Wake up everyone, this is just a bubble narrative.
---
Speaking of which, the predicament of Lista has actually been foreshadowed for a long time.
---
Risk control pricing NFTs? Oracles feeding the Dragon Slayer sword price? I fucking laughed, isn't this just digging your own grave.
---
The subjective nature of value is not wrong, but in the end, it still comes down to cash flow and real demand. No matter how rare an NFT is, it can't change that.
---
If you can't keep up with the narrative, you'll become an antique shop. Conversely, today's narrative will be a joke next year. Lista folks are still thinking about the future, while protocols are already capitalizing on current dividends.

Who can say for sure what will happen in 2030, but this kind of imagination is indeed interesting; it just feels overly complicated.

The oracle pricing feed... a real minefield. Non-standard asset risk control is a bottomless pit, don't even think about flash loans.
