reddit's Points! are a crypto scam, but one that's apparently intended to be used entirely within reddit itself:
RestrictionsPoints are intended to be used within your community. When Points are initially created for a community, the community currently exists on Reddit. To ensure Points are only used within the community, Points can only be gifted and tipped to other community members' Vaults. Points cannot be transferred outside of Vault (i.e., to external blockchain addresses).
Points are also intended to be used as reputation and community governance points (like karma) in your community on Reddit (and anywhere else that supports them). Points are not an investment opportunity, and any exchanging, listing, selling, or trading of Points is against Reddit's Previews Terms of Use. Violations of these terms, as well as site-wide and subreddit rules, can result in you being suspended or banned from being able to access features relating to Points on Reddit.
reddit often refers to r/CryptoCurrency in their introduction and explanation of that feature. let's go see what the current top post over there is...
BRICK and MOON Now Live on Kraken! Special AMA Event & Bonus Inside!OC (self.CryptoCurrency) — submitted 3 days ago by krakenexchangeHello, r/CryptoCurrency!
We’re thrilled to share some exciting news with you all. The much-anticipated BRICK and MOON tokens are now fully operational on Kraken! You can now deposit, withdraw, and start trading these tokens in both spot and futures* markets.
(*Geographic restrictions apply)
sure enough, apparently you can just buy karma MOONs, for about $0.50 each.
any bets on how long until reddit meets a new friend? other than "not soon enough"
