OK but like, if Bitcoin's future is the inverse of its past doesn't that acknowledge that it will crater to worthlessness eventually? Bitcoin didn't exist before 2008, so 9 years out from the "epicenter" of the "big bang" it should cease to exist.

I mean I guess that's still a hopeful prognostication for coiners because that means this poo poo keeps going for another 4 years. I'd really like to see the whole thing entirely dead well before that.

It will be very, very much more efficient for me to wait for all these scammers to create studios and developers to create games that can be played on these scam trading sites! And it will play those games MORE EFFICIENTLY than the bullshit games of today. ETA 2028, invest now to get 800% ROI per month during development and forever after! Free money forever for nothing!

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

Exploration is ill-advised.
The specific grifting with video games is still really funny given you'd think crypto people would be the type who'd know like, the very basics about video games, but instead they keep on trying with these sub Star Citizen/Kickstarter grifts with sales pitches talking about how they'll be able to pay in so many kinds of funbux.

Then again I think they're mostly aimed at other crypto holders, but still.

No they may play games but they have absolutely no idea how they are made or the amount of (real) money, time , and effort it takes to make them.

Easier to just have a bullet list of cool ideas with no ideas how to implement anything!

coming up with the idea is the hard part. after that you just get some programmers to type the ideas in to the computer and some artists to draw some stuff

Programming games isn't particularly hard. And with art (writing, art, sound), I suspect quality is based on effort and years of experience.

What makes games hard is pulling all those disparate disciplines together into a single project plan and executing it. (That is to say there have been plenty of popular games that have had janky coding, paint.exe art, and sounds from stock libraries but the key thing is that someone sat down, planned out and then did the work.)

What makes games really hard is filtering out your 500 pages of bad ideas into 3 or 4 good ideas that are actually fun. I've had several ideas that seemed really cool but when I prototyped them it turns out they weren't actually good or interesting or even salvageable. Being an ideas guy is easy, being a good ideas guy is super hard.

And now it's time for my regular 3 hour Deus ex tear down video watching.

Sure there have been several games built on gamemaker that have been wildly popular. Unity isn't much harder these days.

And with ten or twenty hours of solid effort anyone can learn enough to churn out a generic FPS in UE5.

That's all pretty irrelevant though because actually having good and fun ideas requires you to be able to critically reflect on your ideas and weed out the bad ones so they've got no chance.

Why would an exchange need to close down when the coin loses value?

Dont they just hold your money and facilitate sales for a fee?

Your holdings being worth less or people withdrawing more often should only effect their accounts.

Oh thats right because they are all ponzi schemes.

Ideas are like arseholes, everyone has them, but it's not polite to show off you've given it a good polish.
It's the work and drive to first turn it into something fun to try, and then progress to something people will pay for is where 99.999% of the effort and cost is.
