This is turning into a rich man's game as the prices to enter the ring are becoming affordable only by elite groups. For better or worse though?

Of course, it shouldn't be a "pay to play" model because that's the very corrupt system that crypto set out to eliminate. That's how banks preserve their dominance over society and the people.

But what if it helps to weed out scam ICO's and pyramid schemes? The pump & dumps that center around hype and marketing and then just disappear off the grid once the guys collect enough money. Because shit like that really gives crypto a bad name.
