I like a lot of your points, but I have to correct you in one area, I’m not trying to convince people this isint gambling. I don’t think that casual gambling is a bad thing.

That’s what makes it gambling, tho. You can’t go a casino and just buy the prize from a slot machine.
Yes, that’s how most people react to those things. You knew, even then, that you were unlikely to win. But that’s the thrill, beating the odds. I
I have to say again, just because some people have a problem, doesn’t mean we all have to miss out. My uncle is an alcoholic, should I not be able to have some brews and watch the chiefs? Some people eat to much sugar, my kid can’t have a popsicle? Some people gamble to much, so it’s bad for my kiddo to play that coin dropping game?
It’s our job as parents to educate our kids on this stuff.
Oh yeah I’m totally down with them needing to be regulated.
As for the kids thing, I don’t put nicotine in the same camp as gambling. The addiction rate in smoking is way higher then gambling. Most 13 year Olds are able to play cool math games black jack without robbing a liquor store
I disagree that most people view it as bad. Arcades and stuff have been around forever, and are still being used by a ton of people. Just because you don’t want send your kids to chuck E cheese doesn’t mean most people agree with you
I’ll give you the proximity point, it is easier to access loot boxes when they are in a game.
But as for the missing out part, yeah that’s how it works. Your friend wins something from the claw machine or gets a bunch of tickets, now you want that. That’s part of the fun, your parents could just buy the toy but that’s lame
Do those people ban thier kids from arcades? Playing claw machines and stuff? I’m genuinely asking
Crytpo isn’t inherently anonymous. you can easily follow coins.
Yes, because they are the least likely to know they are a part of a botnet
Does your tracker support bonus points?
I upload to the snahp forms, and i have found some hard to find stuff for dudes on reddit or whatever, but mostly i just seed
Thats hilarious. Is it still super bloated?
except that the exchanges get hacked/shutdown/blackamiled every third wednesday. Ooops, lost a thumb drive, there goes 10 grand of crypto.
If you buy it from me, ill sell at a lower price then you sell to him. we all win!
It sounds like larp gambling.
yeah, but its like, people are scamming people with nfts, using those scammed nfts to issue “loans” to scam people with cypto, so they can scam people with nfts, etc etc like is anyone actually making making money from this mess?
But how is a repo’d nft worth anything?
It really is. whole site is weird
Oh to be sure, there are way to many examples of jerks taking the loot box concept too far. But I’m not sure I’m ready to demonize it like some people do
