Crypto: The Game captivated a large swath of the crypto community this past week. The game, modeled after “Survivor,” was the brainchild of Dylan Abruscato, Tyler Cagle and Bryan Lee. The intention of the game, which was played virtually but also unfolded in real life, was to ruthlessly vote people off to determine a single winner. Throughout, multiple psy-ops operations created chaos. Despite all that, the competition ended up fostering numerous friendships (including for Unchained reporter Sage Young, whose coverage is below) and resulted in a shocking, but heartwarming ending.  On Friday afternoon, after the winner was announced, we hosted a Spaces with Dylan, the winner, and some of the more notable players, which we’re releasing here. In the discussion, we cover the inspiration for the game, some of the behind-the-scenes surprises, who was causing chaos for various teams and how, and why the winner may be one of the winning-est contestants ever.  Guest: Dylan Abruscato, founder of Crypto: The Game Links Unchained:  Day 6 of ‘Crypto: The Game’ Brutally Exposes the Problem of Trust in a Digital World Day 8 of ‘Crypto: The Game’ Puts Me on a Hit List for the Second Time Day 9: Cutthroat Contestants Put an End to My Time in “Crypto: The Game” Learn more about your ad choices.
