We all know this is happening with Reddit gold, however I thought it would be relevant to point out that there has been fallout amongst Reddit Premium subscribers.

    Why? I mean, technologically, why couldn’t a more standard payment platform work, and then just pass around those payments among instances? PayPal is not crypto, but you can use it almost anywhere online.

      PayPal is not decentralized. None of the “more standard” payment platforms are. If you want to have some kind of cross-instance limitation on things like awards and not have instances be able to just spew them out willy-nilly if they want to then you’re going to need some kind of decentralized ledger to track them authoritatively, and that’s basically cryptocurrency in a nutshell. This is what cryptocurrency is for.
