> It's amusing to see these kind of statements from the decentralized no goverment/no authorities crowd
I see this meme and I don't get it
Why do you think this studio was a no government no authorities crowd?
I havent seen anything from Axie or its founders that suggested that, my assumption is that you see one word or one piece of technology that overlaps with the aspirations of completely different people that are anarchists, whats your assumption?
Then maybe just ignore those people and let the people running businesses just do what they need to do, like issue empty PR damage control statements like any hacked organization will do
Lets make fun of them just like we were making fun of Okta’s response over Lapsus
Isn't that company also trying to fulfill the same ideological goal? Their twitter even says "Freedom for gamers". Looks exactly the same type of bs to me.
Many organizations use blockchain technology to offload the need to develop the account model, user state management, and accounting, lowers overhead costs for some kinds of ventures as well as being trendy which is able to get an audience very quickly. This inherently comes with some aspects of less-centralization (in case you or someone passing by is allergic to the word "decentralization"), there isn't any ideology to adopt with that, its just a matter of reality. In Axie's case, gamers are able to resell assets they've acquired without the Axie platform or opinion of company. It fulfills a market interest and that's it. Many people are also making enough money to support themselves by playing/grinding/joining guilds, this is also an aspiration form of freedom.
> What other value is there in cryptocurrency over traditional money?
Collecting a bunch of it and using it like traditional money including earning more of it as well as converting it to traditional money simply because this market sector is hot and you can make a lot of money
Focus on what you can control, there is zero need to adopt ideology to use it, and there is zero need to project your thoughts on it to rationalize sticking with less lucrative things
Traditional money as in cash? Mailing cash to someone on the other side of the world is not ideal. Trusting PayPal or Stripe to not arbitrarily freeze your account because they think you’re making too much money too quickly is not ideal. Having to show ID to send or receive a money order is not ideal.
That doesn’t mean I don’t condone the government prosecuting thieves who steal crypto.
