The most obvious stupid scam ever conceived and they actually managed to hook a bunch of actual corporations
Square Enix, Nickelodeon, Coke, KFC, and more fell for this shit while regular people were laughing about how obvious a con it was.
Really puts into question the capitalist myth of the genius entrepreneur and the idea that these corporate types are rich because they are smart or deserving in some way.
Had me going until you let the mask drop and started talking like HackerNews.
Under a capitalistic system, it’s going to make it worse and it already has. Same deal with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Same promises of making things for fair and just and all the poors around the world having little paper wallets and being their own banks until rich assholes bought majority stakes there too.

People that can’t afford to gamble away what little they have being invited into the casino! Wholesome!
Seriously, your cryptobro shit is getting more and more mask-off.

It’s an associated grift peddled by the same people. The difference is that one is a currency and the other is a purchased space on a ledger that is often associated with a picture or some other supposed virtual asset with a vague promise that rent-seeking profitability may happen when it becomes universally recognized as a virtual asset, which hasn’t happened and may never happen because each ledger is independent and there is no obligation for them to recognize other tokens.
Also, your “all electricity use is equal” claim is utter steaming bullshit.

Don’t buy into that old casino! Buy into this new casino with even less regulation, oversight, or accountability!
You’re just being an obnoxious grifter at this point, and your pitch is approaching messianic levels of cynical.

To summarize, again, you’re playing the “how do you do, fellow leftists” card while telling people that the answer to capitalism’s casino is capitalism’s newer and less regulated and more volatile casino.
You are a clown.

You are either ignorant, a cynical liar, or both. In any case, you’re a disgusting clown trying to get people to buy into your particular grift.

You’re claiming that the answer to capitalism is more capitalism, this time from a shiny newer casino that is already majority owned and operated and pushed by ruling class capitalists and that will somehow topple capitalism and bring about an unspecified utopia that you’ve been vague about so far but have used techbro language to try to dazzle people with your bullshit.

I guess I was mistaken. I do feel like I remember hearing about web3 in a p2p context before that but regardless.
I still think we should take it back
