I legitimately can't tell if this is trolling or sarcastic.
Regardless, the fact that something else seemed ridiculous but ended up not being so has no bearing.
People can predict arbitrary things and will only remember the ones that turned out right; for every thing that seemed wrong but succeeded, there are a million things which seemed wrong and were wrong.
Just because there are examples of things succeeding in spite of predictions of failure doesn't mean predictions of failure are signs of success.
"Every new generation growing up is a new generation who will be affected by other things than the previous generation.
Everyone also laughed when I in the 90'ies said you would one day be able to score girls from being good at playing computer games."
The point is that looking at your own generation is not a good indicator of where things will go. Look at those younger generations which haven't yet been affected by what is right or wrong.
That was my argument. Girls will grow up knowing what it takes to be good at a computer game it won't just be something nerds do, but something they themselves do.
The point here is to understand what allows progress.
Sure something might or might not come to fruition but this one my predictions were based on understanding what it would take for it to be popular.
I am not trolling but 100% serious.
Not to mention that Cryptokitties is "backdoored" by CEO/CFO/COO functions. Which means the company has full control over the contract, even if the contract itself is "decentralized" (more like externalized, if anything). They can halt trading of the assets any time they desire.

I have no idea where you're going with this. Are you talking about e-Sports? This is the first I've heard of anyone "scoring girls" with computer games.
You are missing the larger point because you focus on the smaller technical details.
Things don't have to be perfect to be successful.
Again. Either you understand the larger perspective of cryptocurrencies, blockchain and tokens or you don't.
There are plenty of opensourced games out there and plenty of opensource projects and there will only be more in the future.

Either you understand this perspective or you don't. It's cool with me that you don't understand it, but it's already happening while you say it never will.
