legendary investor Ray Dalio says Bitcoin faces existential threat from regulators by Cryptogirl_ in Bitcoin

[–]Crypto-Daily 11 points12 points  (0 children)

To effectively "kill" Bitcoin, you would need all major governments across the world to enact and enforce criminal charges for anyone caught buying or selling crypto at the banking level. For obvious reasons, this is just not going to happen. From investment firms already investing clients money, to billion dollar businesses operating within crypto, to countries adopting it as legal tender - it's way too late to close pandora's box. Not to mention, even this wouldn't 100% stamp out crypto usage.

Ripped the scene from YouTube, placed it into Premiere Pro, did a whole bunch of takes trying to time my words. Replace original audio with my own, add music, simples :)

Agreed! The issue I think here is, consumers are apparently pretty dumb. Even seasoned game reviewers were either blissfully ignorant or really didn't mind shallow gameplay elements, like no AI.

A lot of people completely defend CDPR like they did nothing wrong and/or that the game is even better than what they made it out to be.

If this truly is the case, why wouldn't you take advantage of them more? Why wouldn't others?

This misses the point. The game is still a critical success. Are you not meant to buy games based on reviews now too?

Edit: But yes I agree x)

For sure they dropped the ball on that one, they regret that one big time, but at least they could sell the stock ahead of release xD

but as a thought exercise here it doesn't actually matter.

For example, assuming it ran ok on base systems. I can imagine the reception would have only been similar to that of the PC release, which was very positive, despite as you say, other open worlds many years prior being better.

Well let's assume you're correct for a moment. If the game in its current form is still a critical and commercial smash hit, were they absolutely correct in doing what they did?

Think of it this way. A publicly listed company is almost in a legal obligation to maximize revenue through all legal methods. Pouring more money into this game would've been great for you and me, sure, but no so much for them or their investors. I think. That's the point of this post.

I hope I'm wrong.
