The most obvious stupid scam ever conceived and they actually managed to hook a bunch of actual corporations

Square Enix, Nickelodeon, Coke, KFC, and more fell for this shit while regular people were laughing about how obvious a con it was.

Really puts into question the capitalist myth of the genius entrepreneur and the idea that these corporate types are rich because they are smart or deserving in some way.

Now hold on, block chains are totally capable of running programs. Smart contracts are a thing. This could be implemented, technically, in some fantasy world where things happen for no reason. Cranking about cryptography is cool and good.

Dont forget that in your fantasy world the program code would have to have 0 bugs!
