Anything that can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

Claim:

Many games can be implemented as a blockchain

Evidence:

Ledgers have been implemented as a blockchain

There you go. Now the burden is on you to provide evidence that it’s impossible for any game other than a ledger to be implemented as a blockchain.

Wow.

I'm sorry to be snarky but if this level of reasoning is representative of the cryptocurrency community then there's a reason it's failing.

:(

That’s pretty mean. I tried to engage your criticism in good faith, and you’re treating me like I’m too dumb to even talk to.

Feels bad.

Sorry, but I don’t think I can engage meaningfully if you expect me to prove a negative for the claim that you are making. That’s either a logical error or an attempt to make me do all the work, and the ‘claim’ ‘evidence’ part of your post doesn’t make sense.
