If you make a UUID of a real diamond and the diamond itself gets destroyed in a fire tomorrow, you still have the same asset.
Because the UUID still exists and is in limited supply just as before. Nothing has changed.
What UUID is doing to the concept of asset, few understand.
@ogelpre Interesting; somehow though what's as hard as a diamond wouldn't burn below several
thousand K.
@wusel @olafurw Diamonds are pure C. Add some oxygen and you can burn them at 690°C to 840°C. A normal Bunsen burner is enough. We did it in school. Was quite fun. The task was to collect the CO2 and calculate the weight of the diamond.
