"In five years, you will actually value your time properly, and instead of being harvested for advertisements, or being fleeced for dollars to buy stupid hammers you don't actually own, you will be playing some on-chain equivalent game that will be just as fun, but you'll actually earn value and you will be the harvester."

- renewiltord 5y agoYes, it is a dystopia. If you try to do anything but play this game, the cryptocommissars will find you and put you to work in the bitcoin mines. Your mind worn from hash calculations, your ego in tatters knowing you are but a poor emulation of a specialized ASIC device, you beg for mercy. Great Ruler Ohanian looks down at you and says “No”.
