Remember that PlaytronOS from some weeks ago? Turns out it's for a "crypto powered" portable console (arstechnica.com)

For anyone that missed the initial news back in March -> https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2024/03/playtron-wants-to-go-way-wider-than-steam-with-a-gaming-os-for-core-casuals/

So, to everyone that was already kinda skeptical back then, congratulations, you were right.

How horrible is it that 99% of any crypto project can be dismissed as harmful scams without even looking at it - and except for 1% they always turn out to be libertarian wet dreams/scams.

Unfortunately, these Capitalist Psychos uses the same techniques as 'Scientology' et al. and are increasingly hiding their true identity/incentives behind their shit project.

They are Capitalist scammers that have found a new revenue stream, and It IS incredible how far these people will go just to protect their initial investment - no matter who's scammed bco it.

Eh.. tbh, I didn't expect to be called out on that one. Perhaps I exaggerated a bit, but in theory, statistically and all.. Well, maybe not then, sorry..

I wasn't calling out anyone on anything! I'm perfectly aware "1%" was a hyperbole, but I'm genuinely curious about crypto projects that aren't snake oil.
