Does a git repository, when duplicated, qualify as a "cryptographically secured distributed ledger or any similar technology"?


I guess the argument would be that it's not "secured"? It's certainly similar though.


Does a git repo try to be a representation of value. If we're going to be pedantic, it can cut both ways


I don't think the full text is at all unclear. It effects cryptocurrencies. Pretty simple. Loot boxes won't apply. Why? They are not based on technology derived from Bitcoin.

No one is saying that loot boxes and what-have-you aren't problematic. But it is only mildly relevant.


Yes, and I'm supporting that by calling the previous comment needlessly pedantic trying to make something confusing that was not confusing to start.
