Found this on the RPGwatch site. Curious what others think about it. Personally, at 66 years old, I want nothing to do with crypto-currency. But that's just me. Maybe I just don't get it? https://www.rpgwatch.com/#39311

Veteran game publisher Brian Fargo and other game industry veterans hope to change the PC industry by creating a new cryptocurrency that serves as an alternative to the app stores.I get the part that people in the industry want a new platform (for me GOG, Steam, Uplay and Origin are enough). I don't get the part that this would require a cryptocurrency.
Most of my on-line payments are done using Paypal and I will gladly leave cryptocurrency untouched.
Here is my issue with "brand credit" or I guess a version of cryptocurrency.
There needs to be a way to convert it back. For example, I think the Nintendo Wii e-store was famous for this - they would only sell points in certain quantities but the stuff they sold would be in odd increments. Therefore you always had points left over.
You either need a way to refund those points or otherwise give the party a way to use them without having to buy more points.
Pretty funny to see someone piling on to the cryptocurrency bandwagon just as the bubble is about to burst.
