It's a growth/marketing tool for new games to leech specific types of people from other games. You can target a very specific demographic of people (say whales, or hardcore grinders) and reward only those people.

You're giving a visceral reaction right now. Being able to flex by buying a jpg for hundreds of thousands and having people on boards like this lose their minds over it is part of the appeal, you're feeding the beast without even

"For instance, BTC still hasn't recovered from the latest crash a few months ago" it made new ATHs this week. I mean what do you people want, that it always stays at ATH every single ticking second? Zoom the f out ffs.

Everybody buys BTC at the price they deserve. If you wanna wait 10 years for it to get 'safe' and 'adopted' then you pay for the people who have taken the risk and contributed to its survival and growth.

They don't know why they're being sued because everyone else is doing it and not getting sued. Makes sense from that point of view. Coinbase technically should only be sued if the others doing were sued too, but they're not..
