Reddit's true crypto adopters may not be subscribed to its crypto-focused subreddit.
R/cryptocurrency holds even lesser; only 2,800 users, or 0.2 percent, are Moon holders.
Bricks users have transferred the tokens around 14,000 times with other users, while only 3,000 Moon transfers have taken place since inception.
The sentiments show the former community may have a larger number of active users, compared to the latter.
Gamers have been exposed to micro-transactions and in-game tokens since the start of this decade.
Presumably, Fortnite users may be more conversant with token usage, unlike crypto users who mainly speculate or hold.
R/Cryptocurrency users are not very impressed with Moon tokens, if relevant posts on the subreddit are considered.
Some say the effort is a marketing gimmick that attaches "Blockchain" as a buzzword to increase downloads, while some point the token's non-monetary value, and non-guarantee of prolonged Reddit support, meaning they are nothing more than a "Dud."
Users can store them on "Vaults," and redeem badges, GIFs, and emojis within the platform and transfer those to any Ethereum address.
If the concept catches on and proves its utility, Reddit may roll out the feature to its 450 million users.
