So, it was already submitted 4 times[1][2][3][4] in the last 5 months and there's still no explanation as to what's the point of this project.

The cynic in me says the point is to collect phone numbers.

Seems a bit like the Black Mirror episode[1] "Nosedive".

That episode made me by far the most uncomfortable I have ever been while watching a TV show.

I think it was the desperation and how so many people could so easily fall down that path of complete fakeness if such a thing ever took off.

I think this is meant to be a neat little experiment and/or "useless machine" type thing. Like the "Yo" app. I don't think it's meant to be malicious.

I'm a little more skeptic.

This is meant to be a new currency with a base revenue for every user.

Is this supposed to be some art related to bitcoin?

Now how do I convert these points to bitcoins?

Why cash out now? Go long. Pointcoin will be worth millions one day.

Bitcoin would be worth billions at that point :)
