Game Designer Disses NFTs

Game designer Mark Venturelli has come up with a somewhat interesting, on the surface, critique of crypto and the blockchain.

Speaking at Brazil’s International Games Festival, Venturelli argued that trust in others is good and is correlated to numerous good outcomes, while bitcoin is based on distrust.

As a non-native english speaker, it is easy to see why trustless might be conflated with distrust, but it means more that bitcoin upgrades trust to the point its design reaches levels where one can have 100% trust in the system.
