The model I use to think of it is that drugs steal life energy from your future and give it to you in the present. I've never seen it this way but it makes a lot of sense. It's just the opposite of making sacrifices toda

People are in crypto because of money, no because of some philosophical questions about who should control money. It doesn't matter it it's a stable coin, a pump and dump scheme, or a regular fiat currency. If they see the chance

But again you would have to rely on the publisher. And they can simply create a new Blockchain for the game. In the end there's no difference between that and a traditional db.
