It seems reddit really will use crypto trading for it's icons and awards

unchainedcrypto.com Reddit ‘Moons’ Token Surges 300% Amid Rule Change Allowing Points Trading

The ERC-20 tokens awarded to users, along with virtual goods like avatars can now be freely traded.

Popular news aggregation and discussion website Reddit has changed its terms of service, allowing users to earn, purchase or sell currencies and items that can be cryptographically verified. The change in terms also explicitly outlined a clear separation in the definition of non-tokenized Web 2 virtual goods and tokenized Web 3 virtual goods, with a member of the Reddit product team disclosing plans to sunset the former.

This just keeps getting weirder. There’s no shortage of fools on the internet, though, so it might actually work. Whatever.
- It is the 202* (brainless) CEO red flag. Don't make money? Try speculating on crypto and saying it is your new core business
  Proudly tested by teams at
  Twitter
  Tesla
  Signal
  Discord
  Telegram
  Facebook
  tens of others I have forgotten, but which also miserably failed
  Further proof of how isolated these CEOs live from the real world
  
  what signal and telegram did
  
  Telegram has had crypto focus since ~2020, to the point of spamming me in chats with "sponsored" (official!) messages to buy their shady token a couple of years ago, and spawning a grey market to buy and sell usernames with crypto auctions.
  Signal tried including an own crypto token for in-app psyments as well (of this bunch, it's the only company I have some compassion for - they need to make money somehow, and didn't want to compromise the core model) but the backlash was insane and they either hid it really deep in the app, or just gave up entirely
