Cryptobro Loses Millions on Games That Don't Exist 

From "I lost millions on crypto games" to "I've never been more confident that the blockchain can make gaming more fun!" in under 10 minutes, incredible. Man am I ever glad I don't find loosing millions to ponzi schemes fun.

That's just you average cryptobro. They are desperate to get rich, they will try again and again after 100+ scams

​@@iloveanothermanswives4278 isn't it a definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over thinking you get a different result this time? Their delusion makes me question if they shouldn't attend a mass therapy for addicted gamblers/straight up be locked in a mental asylum

People like him believe if they can get into the scheme early enough that they can just exit with profits. Forgetting the fact only the core people in the scam ever get profits. Outsiders will always lose.

Using scenes from wolf of wall street to represent him and his bros having enthusiastic discussions about their business 🤣🤣🙄

NFT bros are on this bizarre cope that the crash is culling off all the scams and low quality projects, and now the good projects are going to take over.

@@Colddirector the famous mystical never seen before "good projects"

@@kevintheroxor9390 No trust me bro, good NFT games are right around the corner you just gotta buy in or you're ngmi

@@Colddirector Aka, it's a first in first out gets the most cash and you have to drag others in so you can make a profit off of them with the scam. Saying they are culling off the scams when it's all a scam trying to rip off the person under you is hilarious. $$$ really brings out the idiocy and greed out of people like you who will be left holding an empty bag while the nft scams run off with your cash.

I have never met this man and I want to get a running start to tackle him- Im sure he is a lovely man, if a bit of a buffoon. But MY LORD MAN STOP TALKING

Yeah, it's absolutely awful.

His face told me to punch him. Then he started to talk and proved my first impression right. This dude needs a punch in the face.

That was exactly what I was thinking... but you said it more eloquently, lol. It kinda sounds like he's shout-talking to kindergartners

Same

It's a sad comment on his psyche that he equates fulfilment to profit.

pretty sure before that he was talking about web3 games, kira forgot about that after he finished talking and didnt quite go back far enough to hear it.

If we're being honest a lot of people who play video games are unfulfilled in their personal life. Video games are no different than other drugs. So yes this dude is a shill, but playing video games all day is a sign of bigger issues in your life....

​@@freeffree4133 It's just a hobby, dude. Whatever nonsense you project onto it is your own baggage.

@@Toastybees Sure, just like doing meth is a hobby for some people. Most gamers I know are 1) kinda losers, 2) very anti social, 3) are easily manipulated, and 4) very unhappy outside of the game...my question is why do gamers all seem to have the same type of baggage? Gaming is a drag on a well functioning society....men like you depressed, unproductive, and not procreating...it's not looking good for gamers!

Priorities

Agreed

A jauwn in the wild discovered

Amen and twice on Sunday

Make new video !!!!!!!

So much this.

Agree op. Sad thing is his followers probably really appreciate the transparency lol

I mean, that is basically a job. So if you make at least minimum wage probably for a lot of people

@@RusticRonnie Except OP said "making your money back", as in the cost of ticket; no profit.

Imagine having to toil on some virtual plantation on your own free time. Days, month for the benefit of the one owning the plantation NFT until you earn enough to purchase a NFT key pass for the world where you can make your own plantation and enslave other new players?

That's what you call a job

We really need to differentiate games from crypto/NFT games. I just don't see them as equal. One is fun (hopefully) and the other is a scheme of some kind. Different delivery, different goals, different expectations. I haven't seen a successful working model of an NFT game so it's mostly speculation on my part.

Exactly. His bit on the cycle of bull and bear economies screamed sunk cost fallacy.

They don't even know what is a bear or bull market, they only know what shill they've been told as fact.

Final Fantasy X-2 just turned 20 years old.

Goldeneye will be 26 this year.

Let's be fair here, there are Atari 2600 games more fun, well designed, and engaging than anything Web3 has ever produced and it was released in 1977.

Are they better than E.T.? I would say that even E.T. is way better than any crypto "game"

Is an insult to old games to compare them to this web3 bullshit.

Hell, even if gala had actual games. They'd exist until Steam decides to revert their crypto ban because out of nowhere, crypto succeeded. Gala would be obliterated instantly as every crypto bro rushes for steam. Like valve can just decide that. Literally whenever they want to. Do crypto bros not realize how little it takes to adopt web 3 if the company's saw any value in it.

Couldn't agree more with y'all

i mean, to be fair, im certain that anyone with ONLY 2 brain cells will belive web3 is the future. he just didnt have at least a third one to explain to him, why it wasnt.

Imagine Gabe Newell watching his video when he says that about Steam XD

It is like the Zucc who thought everyone would replace VR Chat with his crappy Metaverse that doesn't even render legs.

I also loved how he dropped a "trust me!" in towards the end.

I think it's also trying to protect their own investments. If they invest in a shitcoin, they have a weird vested fincancial interest In telling everyone its the greatest thing in the entire universe, so you'll never see them doubt their investments. They're goofy as hell.

> "create sustainable economies!", but not a single mention of fun, content, or anything that involves actually playing the game. Yeah, that's what always gets me. It's always economy first, and the game second, if at all, probably mostly never, It's like all these crappy Chinese MMOs where only the cash shop works as intended

The first time I heard "FUD" I thought it was a joke. Nope, not at all. It's literally a cult if any sort of doubt is forbidden. Most of crypto is a scam, this idea of web3 is flawed from the beginning because hosting anything on a blockchain is expensive which is why they all host their websites on servers like everyone else. They're not working on anything revolutionary, it's all marketing, hype and buzzwords

Right! It's insane. If I had millions in crypto, I would cash out and literally no one would hear from me again lmao

Not to burn. These cryptobros invested their money in these "play to earn" crypto mining games. They planned to get rich, planned to get back the investment fund and most of the time, they were scammed.

It's because they never actually had it. They had *assets* worth a million but he never actually had any of that money, and it's very likely he would have only seen a fraction of it had he cashed out his crypto assets This is a entire culture of flexing, of seeming like you are super rich and wealthy. If you notice none of the normal kind of crypto guys have those things to flex. The ones who DO are the ones who made it their entire being and even then I'd bet money they rent the things they flex with. Has a crypto bro with a dozen lambos ever shown any kind of proof of ownership? No they havent. The amount of those guys who actually played their cards right and got rich are minuscule and almost always some dude in another country where the US dollar absolutely shits on whatever the local currency is.

@@sinjin8576 the dollar can't shit on another currency, that's not how money works.

I always wonder where they got the money they can so easily piss away. And how they went from being able to earn money and save it to spunking it on junk.

Almost pyramid shaped.

Perhaps he heard the term 'zero-sum game' from economics, and thinks it describes all actual games

Agreed. But he's not really having an epiphany. He's faking his realization, as a springboard to just keep on shilling. It's a deliberate attempt to remain relatable and empathetic to those who have been led to ruin, even those he himself has led to ruin. Classic grifter tactics.

People choose to be scammed. Rather be me the one who collects the money.

@@lautaroka5847 You are saying that you'd rather be the one committing the crime? Because that's what scams are : crimes. The proper choice, of course, is to refuse to be either. And, one day when you are older -- I have to assume you are young and inexperienced -- and there are people close to you that you care about, you will have more empathy for the victims of these sorts of crimes. There are plenty of times when people are too trusting, have unrealistic hopes, or are deluding themselves, but no one willingly hands over their money to these schemes "choosing" to lose their money. Possibly, one day you yourself will be a victim of a scam. So have a heart, and don't aspire to be a criminal.

@@lautaroka5847 You can say that when you actually make money.

@@SvarogAristaeusAllen Give me a week or two. I'm coding an airdrop. I reverse engineered one of those gas scams.

I hate it

Lol

I'm watching this vid on my phone. I heard his voice, and just started punching my phone😂

@@j_kickass Ya and he has an audience how can anyone think hes for real? Im takin crazy pills. I dunno 8 Billion fuckers on this planet if u scream enuff i guess youll get an audience. Man the internet was a mistake.

The good news is, it looks like Crypto gaming is NOT the future. Rest easy bro. Our hobby is safe. If for some reason it does take off, there's GOG and playing older games. Fuck DRMs and Crypto.

Unfortunately, Unity just added tools for crypto gaming integration. So yeah. On Chain claims that he bought shares of Unity on this news.

Square Enix said to launch their nft game this year, so some companies try to normalize nft games. I pray they fail though

@@antondovydaitis2261 That means nothing. If any devs choose to use these tools they'll loose customers. The vast majority of gamers don't care about it and will actively avoid it at any costs.

When you get your wisdom teeth out, you aren't supposed to eat solid food for a day or two. I'm an idiot, so I immediately ate a bunch of Chinese food and got a grain of rice stuck EXACTLY into one of the openings. Fortunately, you don't need wisdom teeth pulled TWICE, so my inability to learn from stupid mistakes probably won't get me THIS time.

Absolutely Like,its just like politics or the "right" side of the discourse I don't mind having themes; id rather escape our world through my entertainment though

​@@BlackCoffeePlanet and it's not like you CAN'T have political games that are good - hello Papers Please and Disco Elysium - but in that case the politics are front and centre. The game is built around them to reinforce the themes and make them land well. With crypto games, I don't think the devs even realize that they're injecting their politics into the games. They're so deep in the weeds that they just go "of course people want every square inch of their lives commodified and grindable, why wouldn't they?" They're incapable of stepping outside that mindset for even a second - "the liberal mind prison", as I've heard left-wing RU-vid refer to it on occasion.

These cryptobros think it's their way out of the ratrace

People trying to turn their favorite past times into their side hustle is a hell of a drug. I don't respect it purely because it takes the fun out of everything.

The self-delusion, internal contradiction, and hypocrisy of this guy is stunning.

I never even understood how chain gaming got any traction at all. The only thing that would happen if CSGO made their skins nft's is people would steal them via hacking, dishonest trades, whatever really and Valve couldn't do anything about it. Crypto's currencies have the same problem, if somebody steals your wallet it's gone and there's nothing you can about it. Sure if you invest via a 3rd party you're safer but when the entire point of a thing is to be untraceable except to the current owner then it's always going to be volatile. For games the ONLY things nft's are good for is a company to make a ton of money selling things that are floated on a market to generate a bunch of money for themselves. Any good gaming company just makes a decent to good game to being with and sells that, or skins in that, or whatever in that. That leaves the only people making them as outright scammers or studios that can't even put together unity asset flips properly. Wonder why they all fail.

​@pulleyfm8585 chain gaming got traction because the people making, selling and buying chain gaming are there for the NFTs/cryptocurrency. Not the game. I have not heard a single fucking thing about crypto gaming from any primarily video game channel I follow. I don't think even Critikal or Mutahar has touched on it, and they've talked about crypto shit. So no one in the actual gaming sphere knows or cares or is going to support this.

I remember getting my only 3 wisdom teeth pulled before my deployment. And I remember being explained and told horror stories about it. Preventing dry socket was the only thing I had ever taking serious up until that point in my life. I had a soldier under me that got dry socket. Ex-amateur boxer, state champ rugby and lacrosse players. Turned into a big ol' baby over night and all I could is momma bird the guy through it. Bring him food and making sure he was following dental care to get through it. He respected me as a leader alot more. Even without a car, Sgt Lew was bring his soldier soup and bottled water.

@@DirtCheapFU isn't it quite easy to prevent? my place told me just don't make any suction in your mouth or swish water over the area for a week and you're good. sometimes it was hard to not create suction but it was a very simple rule.

@@reidleblanc3140 It was easy for myself. Just followed my recommendations. I ate soup. Nothing sweet. If I drank, choose water or straight whiskey(I was stationed in Augusta, GA at the time lol). And prescription oral rinse. Did that a day or so after my stitch fell out(or magically disappeared). [I was so legally doped up that day, I was drooling and foaming blood when I talked. Because i wouldnt stop yelling for whaever reason]

@@reidleblanc3140 Yeah it’s pretty easy not to get if you follow the directions. Easiest way to get dry socket is by smoking

I really miss his hardline advocacy for the actual consumer buying video games. I wish there was a way to get him back… I wonder how many cryptobros it would take to bring back a good person? What’s the exchange rate on a damaged soul?😅

Hardline to point of depriving himself of content oftentimes, yes. I remember he never reviewed or did a video on Witcher 3 simply because he had sponsors from GoG, which is owned in part by CDProjektRed. It’s was a mild conflict I’m sure most fans wouldn’t have cared about but he stuck to his guns anyway. This guy on the other hand basically admits at the end that his channel is solely funded and more or less owned wholesale by sponsors of the games he’s promoting.

Part of me is glad TB isn't here to see this. Imagine the fucking aneurysm he'd have.

God, I miss Total Biscuit. His takes on Crypto games would be like a hammer on a stone pebble.

Well to win u have to be ready to lose. Makes sense to me really, no one gets rich from playing it safe and clean.

​​​​​@@willywonka9785the people who supported the projects mentioned in this video haven't gotten rich at all have they? You're basically saying "99% of gambling addicts quit before making it big", you realize that right? Being willing to risk it all over and over again for a possible chance at "making it big" is not an asset, it's a gambling addicts mentality and you're far more likely to lose everything then to gain anything. ColdFusion has several documentaries on people in the fiat finance world in high positions who continued on with this mindset and not only ruined themselves, but their entire business, and in one case the oldest bank in the UK. Most of those cases, when broken down, were not the result of one bad bet but a chain of idiotic decisions that made things worse because they couldn't stop themselves, or were plain asking for disaster. If you need crypto examples, there are plenty, but Luna is the closest to what I'm specifically talking about. Also yes plenty of people make it rich playing safe and clean. It's called having a career and making good investment decisions. Will you become a millionaire? Maybe, maybe not. But you can absolutely make a good living off of doing that.

Sunk-cost fallacy is the engine powering crypto-"gaming". People who are unwilling or unable to see that they've been taken are the very source of revenue.

"My team and I sat down to discuss what got us interested and excited about crypto gaming in the first place" Translation; "My team and I sat down to talk about what we hoped crypto gaming would be, and affirmed to ourselves that those dreams are still viable despite the evidence to the contrary."

well unless the project gets hacked and then the hacker walks away with all the money.

Until the bank collapses

Or the hackers that were incentive to take it all and drive the price into the ground after.

Bank? We don't use banks. Only an idiot would put black money into tge systen. You cashout barrani.

Steam Workshop and Steam Market is how it should be. But nooo, crypto bros think they can con gamers into becoming NFT-farmers and sell us jpgs of digital swampland they stole. Only con-men treat the potential customer as if they're stupid.

NFT bros don't know how bad RMT ruin MMORPG, RMT make people used cheat to get fast profit, and NFT games are full RMT which is magnet for cheater to make easy money

@@cheesecake7159 That's still putting the cart before the horse. MMOs need servers to run and scaling up a blockchain to serve an entire MMO economy means the whole game will be unprofitable from the beginning. They could decentralize the computing by relying on players to process game data, but any MMO that sends server-side code to players will be exploited.

Exactly if he truly lost that much money, then his tone and presentation would be completely different.

I can’t stand the way he talks. Can’t tell if he has some sort of disorder

Lmao sorry man. Less than 5% of people get it. Don't worry about it. You'll be fine.

@@kirareacts Mind you, I burst out laughing from the irony, so your video did actually help.

Oh my god, and he shows a clip from Wolf of Wall Street when he says "Me and my team sat down". My guy, THEY WERE FRAUDSTERS WHO SCAMMED PEOPLE AND YOU USED THEM AS A COMPARISON TO YOUR TEAM?!?!

@@pastiewhitelightning Tell me you're an amoral scammer, without telling me you're an amoral scammer. F F S 🤦‍♂

I have played fun crypto games. Splinterlands, Blankos, Townstar and Spidertanks. Now I'm not saying you will make a bunch of money playing these, just that they are fun to me. Also a fun fact about a crypto game that serves a purpose is a company made it so cards drawn in a poker game can be verified and proved to be random by everyone in the world in real time .

I'll wait for the dip back to Web1. My Netscape Navigator is ready.

No smoking or vaping, no. Just unlucky I guess

Same thing man. Smoker and didn’t have it awful, but bad enough.

@@kirareacts have you tried sucking on something?

Considering sucking makes the blood clot fall out in the first place which leads to dry socket? No.b

Sadly this kind of thing is extremely common in the content creation sphere. Shady sponsorships the uploader doesn't believe in are extremely common occurances and most of the general viewing public is super parasocial so there's plenty of people saying "Hey, get that bag, man! I've been a viewer for 14 years and here's to more man get that bag! Things cost money we get it man!"

Did you get the sensitivity back ?

@@agnelodearaujo7413 not completely, but it got much better after 3 years. It affects your tongue as well. As if you are still sedated or numbed.

@@mostly_obtuse Thank you for the update !

But would you get your wisdom teeth removed and get dry socket...?

Those aren't "opinions", they're "Sales Pitches". If a guy selling speakers from a van tells you they're the best speakers in the world, that's not really his opinion.

Man I made 35000 with PVU. But not playing, but taking advantage of the craze and tradind plants. Of course the best way is to make it yourself.

Screw that. You pay a one time fee and get a complete game

​@@corvus8638 The game brought as an example by him are MMOs, a one time purchase is not enough to maintain the constant addition of content an MMO is supposed to deliver, MMOs with no subscribtion or an optional one ends up releasing expansions of a scope way diminished compared to games that assure for themselves a constant flow of revenue from player subscribtions like FF14 does
