it really shouldnt be referred to as currency as a whole anymore.

well i guess anything can be a currency but its too misleading even though that was by design.

if its designed to be a stock then should be called so. poker chips? in game currency? money laundering token? reward points? purchase receipt? jpeg? just think it would help

'Token' is the generic term people have settled on. 'Currency' is rare.

A stock would be a 'tokenized equity', in the same way there's 'tokenised real estate', 'tokenised metals', 'tokenised bonds', whatever the real world asset is.

'In-game currency' is indeed used by gaming people, since that was their term from before blockchain.
