Nah, that sort of rookie move for noobs like EA. Musk is like: “hold my beer” and goes on to build a convoluted labyrinthine nightmare of different currencies. It should go something like this:
You spend your hard earned money to buy a package of Xamber. Then you spend some Xamber on an amber lootboxes in oder to get some Xzircons. If the RNG isn’t on your side, just upgrade the lootboxes with some more Xamber to improve your odds. You can also spend your Xamber on reading some messages on X.
Once you have some of those nice Xzircons, you can spend them on some zircon lootboxes and upgrade them. You can also use Xzircons on liking messages.
There are also also Xjades, Xopals, Xtopaz, Xemeralds, Xrubies and finally Xdiamonds, the ultimate currency. You will need all of these to post, share, reach other people, send DMs and so on. Absolutely every action has a price associated with it and literally everything is charged using a different currency so that nobody will be able to understand how much things actually cost. There’s always a probability of your message getting deleted within a few minutes, but you can use the appropriate currency to increase the probability of your message not being deleted.
I have read rumors that you're not that far off... Supposedly there was this leak where he had some pipe dream he wanted to try that would essentially monetize everyone, except money it was various cryptocoins that somehow tie into each other in some convoluted ecosystem. It would cost (Let's just call them Xcoins) an xcoin to make a post. People can like your post and you get an Xcredit. If you accumulate enough Xcredits, you can get an Xbill, that pays you interest in Xtokens. You can then invest your Xtokens in other contributors or use them to purchase Xcoins to make more posts.
If anyone can find the blog or wherever, please link it. It was way more convoluted and funnier then what I just wrote.
The crazy things is making money and gambling are addictive for most people. So I totally could see something like that working on something like Tiktok. People would be so proud to say they earned 12,000 Tokcoins from their reaction video, even if it's only worth 71 cents...
LOL, this is absolutely epic! My dumbest jokes have a tendency of either becoming real very soon, or having already been real for some time.
It’s just so incredibly tragic and funny at the same time that, I don’t quite know how to feel about it.
Like a reverse Cassandra.
What's a Cassandra for the uninitiated?
Sounds like that system that Reddit announced with communist tokens and crypto.
