Tetris nft game where you issue 7 tokens, one per piece, and the owner can interact with a smart contract to set that piece's spawn rate for all users.

notwithoutmyanus posted:Big moves take time. Bigger players have been unloading hundreds of millions of dollars of Bitcoin. Last week saw over half a billion dollars exit and we haven't even seen RIOT or MARA collapse yet. It'll take time to slow rug the rest. Even the stock market has been holding up much better so far. I also think other big players, with collusion of the exchanges and so-called stable-coins, do whatever they can to put upward pressure on the prices, but have to cool their shady activities during any regulatory scrutiny. I suspect that's what happened when BTC pulled back to under $18K in the summer. Of course, my theory is based on cynical speculation, so everyone feel free to poke all the holes you want into it, so to help find a better hypothesis.

Main Paineframe posted:It's easier to make a large number of characters/items/whatever feel somewhat distinct without actually inventing new mechanics for them. In an action game, if you want to have fifty characters that aren't all just obviously skins of the same main character, you have to make them play somewhat differently. In a RPG, you can just tweak the stats and change some flavor text Kinda understating since nowadays especially they have to be fully animated in HD, it's really no easier than making any other kind of video game character. They're not bleepbloop little Game Boy games anymore.

At that point you could just take a vacation in the philippines and have a more real experience than anything in the metaverse. Probably cheaper and you are supporting the local economy directly. Not many dragons there, though

Jesus. the only reason Axie Infinity worked long enough to be pay-to-earn's big success story was because, even though grinding it all day long would only give you a few bucks worth of crypto, that few bucks was more than the minimum wage in the Philippines. Americans would sponsor those players' entry fees in exchange for a perpetual cut of their payouts, hoping to build up a decent passive income by taxing a bunch of poor people's earnings now the play-to-earn types are excitedly searching for other ways to exploit massive wealth inequality to turn players in poor countries into profit engines for rich countries

If they had a modicum of ethical integrity and empathy regarding the use of their wealth, and actually cared about creating a compelling game experience, they could pay people to "perform" as the NPC's while other players pay to play the game. Kinda like theme park employees. Unfortunately these assholes can only think of the worst ideas possible.

Yeah the dude they're quoting is at the point where he just takes $10,000 NFTs as the price of admission for a game as a given. Naturally, games are for rich people, but they can rent their NFT out to the poors who will grind for them and then split the coinz they earn. quote:Mikhai Kossar, a chartered accountant and a member of Wolves DAO, a group that consults with NFT gaming projects in the early stages of their development, told Rest of World that some players will always go wherever they can make more money. “They will play Pac-Man if they can earn more,” he said. Here's another guy who only takes 40% of what his "kids" earn for him: quote:Big Chief framed guilds in play-to-earn gaming as a force for good, arguing that they provide people in poorer parts of the world with an opportunity to make money. “That’s why it’s really annoying when people talk about exploitation,” he said. “I couldn’t tell you what the hourly rate comes to, but I could tell you that people make very little money and the cost of living is very low in the Philippines.” Just absolute zombies for capitalism.

Aramis posted:Either this is a good thing, or capitalism is fundamentally reprehensible. The later is inconceivable to them, so the former must be true, even if they are not quite sure how. I think this is the accurate summary of crypto, or as the old adage goes: when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. I mean, I traded crypto to make money and then exited when legal poo poo hit the fan with crypto in general - by definition, I was not helping the situation. However, I never believed it was some hopeful future solution or some good solution to absolutely anything. A lot of people are stressed out of their mind with the economy, covid, job loss, inflation etc and so they will believe anything that sounds vaguely positive or happy. Even if the positive is at someone else's expense, which is where low quality people present how they maintain the status of being individuals who waste the oxygen they're given. Basically, stressed out person + loud talker saying they can deliver the promise land, stressed out person thinks and goes "yeah, okay". Nobody else around to tell them they're stupid piece of poo poo for even considering things like blatant colonialism, so here we are. notwithoutmyanus fucked around with this message at 18:28 on Sep 6, 2022 |

Maybe I’m answering my own question in some way, but if the bitcoin prices are so fake, why don’t they just prop the number up to a round whole 20k instead of having it languish at this psychologically-fraught 19k instead? Are such a high number of people pulling out that the wash trades (or whatever they’re called) can’t compete? Sorry for such a dumb question but it’s really odd to me.

The way I understand it, there are/were a ton of people who thought "20k is the low, I'll set my buy orders there." So when it got there, the buys were able to keep it afloat. But once it went below, the same thing happens at 19k. If it climbs above it's likely due to tether pumping the price up by flooding the market with buys.

The wash trades don't really "compete" with real suckers buying in. They just provide an illusion meant to convince them to buy at a higher price. The system cannot work without a constant influx of real money. notwithoutmyanus posted:[...] Nah, they have considered it, and have reached the conclusion that it's a good thing for the exploited, and they should be thankful, really.

The system cannot work without a constant influx of real money. I honestly don't have any argument against that perspective, but yeah. The reason BTC danced around 20k so long was I guess setting up for the next move. Today, we dropped from 19.7k to 19k in approximately 1 minute flat. Longs from the futures data are insanely large right now so they are getting liquidated - and fueling the move down again. The highest I've seen in almost 2 months.
