‘Virtual’ means that it does not exist, but it is assumed to exist. So, ‘virtual currency’ is regarded as a non-existent entity, and the act of trading virtual currency is considered a bubble. However, virtual currency exists as an electromagnetic combination, that is, ‘bits (bytes)’ among the constituent elements of matter, and this bit exists on an atom. It exists in a different form, not non-existent. Therefore, it is real, not virtual. Most of the legendary investors have overlooked this point. Ultimately, the bit depends on the atom. As long as the atom doesn’t die, the bits just exist together. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Design ethics is an essential field of study. You may wonder if ethics play a role in design, but they are crucial, particularly in terms of addiction. Slot machines, for example, are four times more addictive than other gambling games. This heightened addiction is mainly due to the variable rewards these games provide. Some designers view this addiction as a means to increase profits. A classic example is a screen with an infinite scroll function, which can lead to excessive time consumption. This occurs because the game’s rewards are unpredictable, and some designers tie this addiction directly to revenue generation. Therefore, ethical considerations are vital across all domains. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
