Crypto: The Game

CTG 🏆 FYC

my interview with @DylanAbruscato, president of @tbpn, is now live! we talk art collecting, the overlap between art and tech, what makes media work now, and how taste and culture shape the way technology enters the world (and, of course a few @Emily_Sundberg shout-outs) thecultureslop.com/abruscato-yoes

@MFL_tw 🙏

What I now understand @cryptothegame was amazing. Instant payments. Public transactions. Respected anonymity. No one tried to track me. Just pure, transparent gameplay. This is what blockchain games should be.

The best non-finance app in Web3 is still @cryptothegame_ It has yet to be topped.

When you’ve played @cryptothegame_ and now every game is about beating everyone… you can’t just play it like a normal person anymore 😂 Thanks @DylanAbruscato you have changed my life 😂

Everything starts as a drawing

@segall_max 🏆🏆🏆

How it started // how it's going

Just pulled a grail :)

Pinch me! CTG is in Variety alongside Survivor and named one to watch as Emmy voting opens today

Variety named @cryptothegame_ one to watch in Emerging Media as Emmy voting begins: One to watch: the Emerging Media category, where viral sensation “Crypto: The Game” returns for Season 3. The alternate-reality game show, created by Dylan Abruscato is drawing global attention.

INSANE, CTG named “One to watch” from Variety for the Emmys — voting begins today Never thought this was possible for a 3 person crypto startup just a year ago

Thank you @Variety!

Emmy voting opens this week and Emmy Mag just ran an amazing piece on CTG

We asked @DylanAbruscato about raising zero venture capital for @cryptothegame_, and other exciting crypto projects out there. "Not every single idea needs to be venture-scale idea. CTG was close to a TV show, both the players and us needed to go off-air in between seasons." "If we had raised, we'd be on a hamster wheel to build a scalable platform, which wasn't the right choice for CTG." "In terms of new projects: I'm excited about @PixieChess from @joshqharris, @VertigoDex on Solana, and @token_works which is similar to crypto MSCHF."

We asked @DylanAbruscato about big brands getting involved in crypto. "I think eventually we'll see crypto integration, but it's still a dirty word with big Fortune 500 brands." "As the experience, UI, and UX improve, big brands won't necessarily know they're doing 'crypto integrations'. It'll all just feel like the internet."
