Mindark's attempt at a crypto was doomed from the start (or about 20 years ahead of itself)..
I remember being all excited when they announced it and immediately being dissappointed as soon as i looked into the concept and found out it was all about trading developer art assets or something?
No ingame crypto, no chance to loot or discover the crypro and no chance to convert ingame ped or items to the crypto..
In sum its not what anyone wanted. At all.
To be fair, it barely feels like MA even really made an attempt at a real crypto whether it be a store of value or gamified token..
The current narrative about btc being bad for enviromment is extremely overblown and is proof of what some of you guys have mentioned about some entities are trying to bring it down..
Fact is, probably well over 90% of btc gets mined in place where there is renewable, cheap, and excess electricity.. its a huge part of the profitability factor... i have had a LTC/doge miner sitting in my closet for almost 2 years because its an instant loss as soon as i plug it in because of electricity costs..
Its one of those cases where there is a kernel of truth (btc does use a ton of juice) but has been taken to the extreme..
That and well theres about a thousand other cryptos in the process of changing the world in their own ways that do not even use proof of work..
These cryptos are around to hedge against inflation, hedge against bad govt, hedge against bad actors and counterfeits... not replace any of it. At least the financial part of it is.. blockchain itself is groundbreaking tech and well thats massively going to improve an untold amount of things over time..
Its just a new addition to the financial scene, dollar and gold etc will still coexist... its just that now crypto can help keep them honest. Btw, usually I trade crypto on
margex. It is safe, very fast and very user friendly. Highly recommend!
