I’ve seen a few projects like filecoin that encourage people contributing to a decentralised service through a crypto currency since it represents very little startup costs (you dont have to actually have any fiat or crypto to start a cryptocurrency) and gives users an incentive to join your project.

The responses to me are right, though. Steam already has ways to pay users for their contribution without using a cryptocurrency. It’s not something I’m usually a fan of but I thought it was an interesting idea nonetheless
