Wait - there are people who actually paid for Reddit gold?!

  Imagine owning a non-tangible asset that you cannot feel or touch. But then again I live in the US with a fiat currency, so there's that. (this comment was meant to be highly provocative)

    so ... you'd say fiat currency is a real-world version of NFTs?
    • brodouevencode 3y ago
      A cotton and linen version of it, yes.

  People used to do it as a way to support server costs and browse ad free when the site was far smaller, or a way to award people who did things you liked (I received gold once for telling people about a good offline Reddit app I found by the author who was happy to see his app mentioned on the site and used).

    I've been on Reddit for (checks profile...) 12+ years Only "awards" I ever received (or gave) on Reddit were in the 'freebie' category :)

      It still wasn’t a super common thing so I’m not surprised. What about mold?
