A few years ago, I posted Gamers Use Crypto to Take Over the World (fiction-ish) on Whaleshares. More recently, GameStop supporters demonstrated the power they wield: >Months ago, some members of a popular stock market discussion group on the Reddit website started encouraging others to invest in the company, saying that the big investors had gotten it wrong and that GameStop was significantly undervalued. - VOA News The VOA News quote sums up some of the motivations involved in the March 2021 GameStop Short Squeeze. GameStop still feels pressure from more recent NFT controversy, but one must wonder: - *considering the turmoil and nefarious activity surrounding the short squeeze, how much of the NFT woes fall on the back of GameStop?* Please note that Gamers began taking over the world much the same way that Amazon supporters once did. *The key to their success is virtually the same:* ***A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE NEW ECONOMY AND WHY IT EXISTS!*** For those looking for a community that's making the most of what blockchain has to offer, join the Fractally whitepaper discussion, and contact me MachnBird Sparo to connect with weekly *Alien Worlds* consensus/governance meetings. ___ The inspired image in the Whaleshares post from 3 years ago comes from GamersForGiving.org. The organization holds special fundraising events like: >...a special fundraising marathon in support of providing play to kids in hospitals. ___ Oh yeah, and for further reference, there's the modern education of the youth like: - Ready Player One - Free Guy - Pixels - basically every top game has a movie... just need RPO-style tokens to enter the stories. Imagine... we just had: - The Last Starfighter - Hackers - Sneakers ***And oh yeah [snickers] the- "Would you like to play a game of chess? -movie. [thinking] But, does that count... we both had that one?*** ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWbsbNYcJDaDmTBhfSW4HqmfaRTKg16NPgvzEqdSqNic1/image.png) Photo by RODNAE Productions from Pexels
