Comment Comment by CPLX I see this kind of argument a lot. But it seems to always be missing a step when it comes to theoretical crypto innovations.All the examples of "toys" he mentions here are also useful. That seems to be the fundamental concept of what grows.Amazon was useful, you could buy rare books that were previously hard to find.Ebay was useful, you could buy (and sell) niche collectibles that were previously difficult to trade.Facebook could show you pictures of classmates and let you communicate with them.Backrub (ie Google) could help you find information on the early poorly-indexed world wide web.And so on.So how are cryptokitties useful? parent CPLX 8 years ago
All the examples of "toys" he mentions here are also useful. That seems to be the fundamental concept of what grows.
Amazon was useful, you could buy rare books that were previously hard to find.
Ebay was useful, you could buy (and sell) niche collectibles that were previously difficult to trade.
Facebook could show you pictures of classmates and let you communicate with them.
Backrub (ie Google) could help you find information on the early poorly-indexed world wide web.
And so on.
So how are cryptokitties useful?
