From turning people into players, then players into payers, to Playpayers into shareholders (if you are millionnaire), and the ones that can't afford enough nft's to have a say, just turned into Koren grind-like sweatshop workers.
Edit :
The conversation about environment problem of crypto is cute, because there is so much worse industries out there that exists in the mainstream field that uses like 1000X more energy than to mine any of this, people thinking it's okay that amazon, google, and many other online services just put hundred of server farms not only on land but also underwater, in the ocean (yes they do) using filters and the water to cool their server farms, while heating the ocean's water in the process, ironic ! Crypto's highest "mining" force is also located mostly in China and India crypto farms powered by cheap electricity provided by the state, and in a huge part, from coal farms !
The west is delusional about "them" being the problem here, because in front of China that still uses a lot of dirty energy, we are probably the biggest guilt trip suckers that buys solar panels and use renewable energy the most every year, and with the cost of gpu's ever increasing and the wages here not following through inflation these past 10 years, every gamer being complaining about not being able to afford the mid to slightly above higher range GPU's ( rtx 3060's and 3070's and rx 6600 to 6700 are beginning to be completely out of the usual range of prices too this past 2 years, i don't know if you noticed the usual youtubers crying about gpu prices increasing drastically since Maxwell then Pascal's launched. )
The only people able to buy racks of 4 to 5 gpu's that now cost from 1000 $ in 2017 to 2000+ $ in 2020 for mining, are absolutely not your average person. (even buying 1 of these overpriced gpu's is becoming a challenge for anyone's wallet)
