Why no hate from kotaku for pokemon cards then? Think of all the fuel needed to transfer those pokemon cards around the world to sell them, or the energy or trees needed to produce them.

Before F2P games became popular I’m sure it would have made sense to say “why would a game company want to give their gam…

You could definitely be right, but I don’t see how it’s a certainty the market won’t change as new capabilities for interoperability are created.

Whatever you say grandpa

True, ETH gas fees are ridiculous. They will either improve things or lose market share to other cheaper blockchains.

Yes you can sell NFTs without associating IP rights with them

There is sooo much more friction to using a bank account than using cryptocurrency to make transactions

1) progress will happen despite people who only want the status quo. just yesterday congress has been talking to crypto industry professionals and mostly voicing support.
