What if cryto was created because of the frustration of creating videogames with current tools and technology?

let me explain...

Professor Coder X lets say has friends/influence and has ideas for creating a videogame. But, he/they cannot create it fast enough and/or think there is no paradigm or technology that can hold its ambition?

unless...

it is a game disguise as "currency."

Let me explain again...

"Currency" is a very videogame trademark as well.

It even dates back to board games like Monopoly...

(I apologize for my 1st Grade writing and literacy skills. But, if you bear with me, my idea is like... 10001th grade...)

"Currency" shows up in Super Mario Brothers as "coins," literally. In Sonic the Hedgehog, it's "Rings."

As someone who has played videogames throughout their life, "videogame currency" is as real as it gets.

But, its not enough for Professor Coder X. He/They want to transcend it.

Thus, Crypto.

And in a way, and the reason for me writing this is to say that Crypto is the frustrated child of videogames.

I say that because it uses the one thing videogames use the most, the GPU. But, Crypto uses it like a hammer. It bashes it to create literal, figural, metaphorical and physical "coins."

GAME OVER!

(and it's Game Over because "they" can't respawn. Nor, will "we")

((Videogame currency > Cryptocurrency because cryptocurrency is limited to reality))

(((Videogame currency is also more imaginative, powerful, creative than Cryptocurrency. Especially in relation to how it utilizes hardware/GPU's)))
