Atari Is Jumping on the Crypto Bandwagon
So, reasonably honest question (i.e., save the generic blockchain sarcasm for the many other posts that will presumably be made here), does anyone know what the game plan is for these companies? They have tokens, OK, great, but then what? Are we supposed to buy them? Are we supposed to accumulate them in some manner and trade them for something else? Are we supposed to accumulate them in some manner and sell them? So Kodak is starting a blockchain to &quot;pay photographers&quot;, but does anyone have any details beyond that? If someone&#x27;s buying them, who, and why? How do I get a blockchain entry for a photograph? How does that do anything?<p>I&#x27;m not asking for the really obvious sarcasm, so please only post &quot;they have no idea&quot; if you&#x27;ve got decent evidence that they really do have no idea. I presume they have <i>some</i> sort of vision as to how these are going to do something. If they merely have a bad or stupid plan, I&#x27;m asking for the bad or stupid plan, not sarcasm. (I&#x27;m honestly just sort of assuming that none of these plans will do anything that wouldn&#x27;t work better with a centralized non-blockchain-based infrastructure, but I&#x27;m at a loss as to what they even plan to do with their probably-unnecessary blockchain.)<p>I&#x27;ve done at least a bit of poking at a couple of these things but I can never find a concrete plan. (Including probably at least 15 minutes with Google trying to figure out what Kodak was talking about when they first announced it. Perhaps tech details have emerged since then?)
