My counter argument was only to your comparison to paper money.
I could easily imagine a world where I get "crypto currency" that I can use across games. If only so that trying a new game doesn't mean starting from zero for those that did build up a lot of stuff in another one.
Why would any company use a decentralized token to let you purchase things when they could simply make their own store currency/points and sell that instead? Look at all the F2P games that have in-game purchases, they all use points that are sold by the publisher that are bought with dollars because they make more money that way. There is no incentive to allow a decentralized currency you don’t control for in-game purchases.
There are so many hypotheticals and logical leaps here... This is not a useful argument anymore ... it's just you fantasizing.
I am out.
If there is something there I should treat more seriously, I'm game.
Except it doesn't.
