What makes this (or cypto) economy ‘artificial’, and why is our real-world economy not artificial?

Plenty of market manipulation and rug pulls happening on the regular stock market as well



They wrote the scarcity is artificial.

I'd say that's true: if you have one skin, there's virtually zero production cost to making more copies of said skin.

It's not that different for many things in the real world, I suppose (eg: if you sell way above cost, then your cost is also arguably zero), but I'd say it's magnified in the digital world (or even with NFTs).
