- sintaxi 5y agoThere is no reason the purchase of a purple bazooka in a video game needs to be confirmed by thousands of nodes so someone like Epic would keep the crypto centralized and therefore fast. They wouldn't need to "let you redeem the bazooka for dollars" since there will be people who want the bazooka and would be willing to purchase it from you. Epic would then have the power to mint new bazooka's in order to raise funds for their development. The issue at hand is how does Epic do any of this without going to jail for breaking securities regulations.
