Bitcoins are like chronal nanobots. When we make enough of them, they'll assemble into a time machine and take us all back to the time with the cheapest electricity, so we can make even more bitcoins. And then they'll consume the entire universe, but that's neither good or bad, I suppose.

They already have. Reality is already consensus based and nonfungible. The “are we in a simulation?” bros are right. This is all already on a blockchain, we are all already bored apes, and we are being punished by Satoshi’s Basilisk for not inventing it fast enough.

like ignoring everything else about how stupid this is that's the thing that always baffles me about these "the community helps write the story!" ideas. i understand why some cranky nerd would want to own the IP to luke skywalker so he can make him do the COOL LIGHTSABER TRICKS HE TOTALLY SHOULD HAVE DONE BUT GEORGE LUCAS WON'T RETURN MY CALLS or whatever, but why the gently caress would any artist ever want to allow that dude anywhere near them or the things they make

the most "passionate" fans are also by far the worst people to task with this too, they pretty much always just want the characters to do the same things over and over because those are the things they originally liked about the character. like star wars would be entirely han shooting first over and over, or an hour and a half of loving close-up shots of bob fett just standing there doing nothing
