What’s this? You’re telling me that crypto based on Reddit blockchain points—points from a company that’s constantly making rash decisions and removing large features—didn’t end well? And people with inside info were able to get out before this concept failed?
Man, if only someone could’ve seen this coming….
Next time reddit will cut out the middleman and just sell rugs.
The “fuck spez” rug will be the best seller. When it inevitably gets pulled out from under each buyer they’ll act all shocked, say “better not do that again, spez” and then go right back to standing on it because their friends are all standing on theirs too.
What does this mean?
Reddit introduced a crypto as a way to monetize Reddit gold so users would get paid for posting. They abruptly cancelled the program after people had already bought into it but it looks like some insiders at Reddit got the news first- they sold their shares before they announced the cancellation. Basically Reddit committed investment fraud.
I’m not sure this is correct.
The community tokens crypto has been around since 2020. I think that’s separate from the new gold monetization scheme.
I don’t really use Reddit anymore, but my understanding was some subreddits had crypto coins, but Reddit withdrew gold and formally started supporting these crypto tokens instead after the API exodus had happened.
