The only bad thing is that it seems anybody running or using an unlicensed gambling site on blockchain thinks it's not illegal because it's on blockchain. At some point, this might cause some trouble for quite a bunch of people who didn't mind to remain anonymous.

The reason why most of the traffic on blockchain is used for gambling is that it's very easy for users to wager a lot of money very quickly through the automation. And because most sites incentivize being active early throughout the lifetime of a platform, a lot of people are doing that. Numbers look crooked, because a dice bet is typically being done multiple times in a row, as opposed to a purchase in a game or similar.

It's great when Bitcoin and crypto are being brought to the average person's consciousness on a more frequent basis.

Whether this one alone will be enough to drive the next bull run...I'd be rather skeptical ;-)

So far the most frequent mentions were:
- Satoshi :-)
- CZ
- John McAfee
- Vitalik
- Andreas Antonopoulos

Very few females, though. Is this because there are so few, or because they aren't as prominent?

Very good ideas, especially for people familiar with the Steem space! Steem Monsters is such a great game!

Very interesting choice! First time he has come up!

There would be so many questions to Vitalik, right?

It feels like CZ has been more public about his overall vision where crypto and Binance are going than Vitalik. It's still kinda unclear whether Ethereum is meant to be kind of an Enterprise / DeFi technology that is truly secure or more of a scalable, mass end-user layer for digital items and games.

Definitely a great choice!

There's even gonna a movie starring Zac Efron (https://news.avclub.com/zac-efron-to-hunt-john-mcafee-in-king-of-the-jungle-1839622465) about John.

We're wondering, though: What if someone could make a game where one could play him?

Wherever and whoever you are, Satoshi, let's grab dinner! :-)

Zuckerberg's view on the entire crypto / blockchain thing outside LIBRA might be even more interesting...

Maybe him selling actually was one of the causes for the dump. But yeah, it would be interesting to hear what he was actually thinking at that time, or whether he'll stick to the view that he's been communicating publicly.

If you could choose one person from the crypto space to spend an evening or a weekend with, who would that be?

We have an awesome pipeline of people (we just announced Brock Pierce) which is constantly increasing and we'll be adding them to the game in an ongoing fashion. We need to prioritize a bit but can basically add a new person within a few weeks.

Feel free to use Twitter or here for suggestions - the more public, the bigger the "pressure" on the person to actually *want* to get in :-)

Apart from that, you can of course use Telegram (pretty new) or Discord for any kind of request.

The goal is to have tech available for everybody to be able to create their avatars instantaneously. However, we're not quite there, yet, and the process of making those characters is a bit resource-intense.

Feel free to suggest who else you'd like to see in the game, and we'll reach out to them to get them in the game up next.

Hehe, thanks for your comment - we've been debating that, as well. However, as this game is an actual game featuring crypto projects / coins and their influencers, we thought it's still a pretty decent name, even if everyone is doing this. It's a game particularly meant for the blockchain / crypto community; as soon as we make a game that targets a different niche / the mass market, believe us, it won't contain "Chain" or "Crypto"!

Thanks! The game is a collaboration between DNA Block (building the 3D graphics) and CHAINWISE Group (building the game logic and the blockchain stuff). DNA Block are producing some really awesome 3d tech! They've even been featured in a BBC documentary (the full length version also covers Chain Clash, but is currently only available in the UK) ;-)

Yes, we're scanning real people and make 3D models out of them, but never without their consent! Wait for who else we've got coming up ;-)

Do you do that full-time or is this basically an extra? Do you regularly convert your crypto into fiat and cash out?

That's absolutely true, the mere debate about what Satoshi might have meant with this or that old post is really fascinating, given that Bitcoin isn't about what its creator wanted but what is actually the most useful for a maximum of people.

I originally posted the question because I wanted to learn who people perceive as the real-world person with the most impact on the future of Bitcoin. It's very subjective, yes, but the fact that there is no consensus (haha!) about this question makes Bitcoin so special.

I think that many projects weren't actually started as a scam, it's more that they were delusional about the impact they can make with the money from an ICO or so. If you don't have experience managing a company and its funds, 10m$ can be very little, but their promises were typically huge.

Also, many projects have "lost" a lot of the raised funds due to the bubble burst and weren't able to get additional financing (which, based on their traction, is understandable).
