So, like the Chinese national merit system? That’s super fair and nothing ever goes wrong.

That’s corporate social media/apps in general. Does this thing basically let people list crappy things that happened to them by specific humans?

How does this app even work?

“All you have to do is find it.”

The value of gold is not just in its scarcity, properties, luster, purity, etc., but also in the effort it takes to find or mine it. So, sure. Trip over a nugget and you’re…golden.

The same concept can be loosely applied to the abstraction of crypto currency. It takes energy and computational effort to acquire if you don’t just buy it.

Yay capitalism.

Edit: a lot of people are missing the nuance. Surprise.

I will hand it to the writer: good use of clickbait. It got me and it was technically accurate.
