Sure, I'd love to simultaneously play 4 lovely interconnected games at once so I can be even remotely competitive in the one I care about.

The Flexa whitepaper was a good read. It crucifies conventional payment processors and paints Flexa as the savior. But it seems its primary purpose is to generate profit for the wallets that stake the intermediary coin. Mass adoption would require a significant expansion of the staking pool lest it run empty. And what's the backup plan in case the staking pool runs dry? The whitepaper doesn't go into it. I assume a complete collapse of the network.

Rotten Red Rod posted:It's amazing, I remember my first interaction with a crypto bro ~8-9 years ago and it was exactly the same. He'd blather on about the technical intricacies of blockchain, and I'd ask, "Ok, but what does it actually DO better than our current system?" and he would just continue with his previous rant as if that answered my question. The Flexa whitepaper attempts to address this, but doesn't really back it up.  The first is laughable (and isn't the only one). In payment cards alone there are dozens of choices targeting every possible market.

I was checking up on Axie Infinity after reading that insane screed about interconnected videogames. Nothing interesting with that besides the big downturn it's in but the site I was reading had a stock ticker for crypto and I can't believe they let this roll up there:

Startups are wild. Ten tears ago an old friend of mine sold his cloud computing startup to Cisco for enough money for him to retire at 30. Last year, another friend took a job at a biotech startup. Headed by a high energy visionary CEO, that company was constantly hiring and hosting galas for foreign dignitaries and poo poo. Then one Monday they had an all hands meeting and told everyone their money was running out with no new investors or buyouts in sight. So to limp the company along they downsized the lab and fired 80% of the staff, including new hires and C-levels they JUST hired on (she was one of the dozen or so retained). By the time she left for other work the future of the company was still uncertain and they were beginning to stop paying vendors because they had no money.

Why are these idiots so obsessed with making videogames? They take time, money, skill, and leadership and I'm not sure I've seen a single crypto related project that shows they have even one of those. At least I understand they primarily want to make pvp mmos: because it's about exclusion and superiority over their lessers.

This is incredible. They're smashing two things together: turning authorship into a stock market(????????) and crypto technology and trying to argue that these two concepts are inseparable. Taking the crypto out of it just lays bare what an absurd idea it actually is. "Investing" in a book and having it pay out if it becomes a runaway hit. Nevermind the fact that barely a fraction of a percent of all books published makes anything at all, and smaller still become hits. God. These idiots have never been to a book fair and observed who really is buying the majority of books.

Most of my context for what crazy cryptobros are doing is from Line Goes Up. And in that, Olson says that it's akin to prayer to reinforce community (because without community these dolts have nothing).

That case has a lot of implications because it purports that payment processors are themselves responsible if platforms use them for illicit purposes knowingly or not. Who is to say that if crypto takes its place (it will not lmao) that the same thing won't happen to them?

The concept of a work/life balance is uncapitalistic and thus probably near the same level as taxation to that person. You're not living if you are not working.

I assume most places convert to cash if their system is down because while most POS systems can totally still "run" credit cards (by just putting it in the batch and trusting that you would have pre-authed if you could) they don't because the fraud risk is much higher that way.
