People already play a lot of games where items are bought and sold for real money (not just gacha but e.g MMOs, Diablo etc.) so you can look through gaming forums to find what drives them. >Also, unless the game itself is open source and

While I am not sure it provides enough real benefits 'does not allow it in any way' is clearly wrong. A company can decide that they acknowledge ownership based on whatever entry they originally put on the blockchain (with or with

Everyone likes to talk about how NFTs are just 'a money laundering and tax evasion scheme' as it makes a good story but as far as I see most big investors don't treat it that way and nobody has shown if that's the case f

I hear a lot of low effort takes about OpenAI but how exactly is providing your service via a paid API the "Orwellian cake"? Is this really the most (or even at all) Orwellian practice for you?

Car crashes do economic damage, raise health and car insurance premiums etc. It's not a health emergency but there is harm to society.

Sure, I played Lost Ark for it's PvP recently and paid $5 to skip leveling my second character. I definitely both paid to skip content and enjoyed playing.

As long as there's ventilation I'd prefer it. I have double curtains full time but not having windows for light to peak through would appeal to me even more.

Under your analogy we shouldn't regulate car exhausts before we regulate cargo ships. At any rate, article says 250k mining devices there so the electricity usage is likely more from mining but not orders of magnitude more, and even if

Of course it does. It also has better uses than say gaming, so if that is the logic maybe that should be banned, too.

I don't see how it creates a price floor. The profits from mining are tied to the price but not vice versa. If the price drops there's no mining-related mechanism to increase it and buyers and sellers have no reason to care or be

I've cashed out way less USDT, just not through Tether themselves. Comparing it to Squid Game which you can't even sell to others is ridiculous.

This is revenue and not profit and I've seen a lot of articles claiming that they are almost definitely selling headsets at a cost already[0]. Point stands either way for giving them free and selling at a cost is just a lesser version

It's like 2049 in the sense that both overly rely on the admittedly really great cinematography, score and atmosphere. I enjoyed both but 2049 had a somewhat thin plot while Dune spent most of the movie on exposition and set-up as if I
