There are still people who will insist it wasn't a stupid idea to decide meaningless digital points like the ones you get for helping Pac-Man eat dots are real-life money now.
Because helping Pac-Man eat dots at least takes some effort and impose scarcity, and that's already better than working for money another man can print for free.
As someone who also disbelieves in crypto, I'm not sure why real-life money shouldn't be considered fraught.
