Gamification as the name of the game

Grand Theft Crypto - relaunched Grand theft crypto is an F-box game engine from the the underground game-crew that bought you President evil, Castle Wolfensen, Plane murder and Doctor rat. In stores for Christmas this game is a combination role-playing first peon shooter in a close but separate reality. Some revolutionary software has been stolen by the last-empire, a military/industrial combine thats taking over the planet. Targeting dissidents and code rebels stormtroopers of the empire are similar to 1st generation OSD robocops, while high up positions in the empire have been favored by players in field tests, the survival and resistance tactics and strategy of the rebels win over longer term players as they delve into the multi-verse world of 2006. Ricomended. https://www.mail-archive.com/cypherpunks@minder.net/msg12865.html Reposts not Gramsci scribblings

NON-FUNGIBLE capitalism to the stars

Paging professor rat Outside of the gaming field, I would say one area that we have been looking at is education. Education today is a $5 trillion market, and almost nobody in crypto is looking at education. https://cryptopotato.com/this-will-trigger-cryptos-mass-adoption-next-years… The pure financial nature of crypto is appealing to a subset of people who are very financially literate. But the way that we bring mass adoption is through culture. Entertainment, gaming, fashion, all that kind of stuff. Things that we as humans identify with. As you know, it takes several years to make a good game. Most of the games were funded in the last 12 to 18 months. Those games are going to be released in the coming 12 to 18 months. When they come out, we think we’re going to see quite a bit of mass adoption. The cryptocurrency industry is rapidly changing. There’s no doubt about it. From a field reserved only for cypherpunks and heavily tech-oriented people to a global phenomenon that’s now ventured into the mainstream . . ." Vitally important to retain a Gift shop on every federation starship so no Marxist will ever be allowed to say communizers won.
