I believe the virtual currency of a new major MMO could be a massive moonshot if it had the aforementioned. Not any of that cryptokitties bullshit of course, but an actual game like WoW, except not utter shit.

Blizzard cannot print Bitcoin without putting in the same amount of work towards doing so as the rest of the world. If anything, you should be asking how USD is any different than WoW gold.
