It is now possible to play video games & make big time money in digital worlds, all from your couch, butt naked if you prefer.
Once you’ve been paid to play, there’s no going back to the way things were before. Now you’ll own every item you earn in games, your time playing will be time well spent because you gettin’ paid!
Institutional money is pouring in, development is underway, and major brands are beginning to unleash their war chests (see: Microsoft acquires gaming powerhouse Activision for $69B).
You may not know it yet, but Blockchain/P2E gaming, metaverses, and NFTs are about to take over.
Round 1: It’s in the games
“The Metaverse” as Hollywood would have you think about it, is a singular, futuristic sci-fi kinda place. The reality is that game worlds (and the communities created by them) will actually make up the first highly populated metaverses — and there will be loads of them!
So… why will some of these games make the best investments going forward?
You can start by thanking the human psyche and our primal need to belong.
Video game communities were already among the strongest communities in the world — adding blockchain tech creates actual economies that inject real money into your games, and eventually, your pockets…
People will be far more emotionally connected to gaming investments because they’ll be putting in more than just money… they’ll be giving their time.
Time spent playing, socializing, creating relationships, and immersing themselves in the world of the game. They’ll build their characters, their “kingdoms” and their status in each alternate reality.
All of this will make these investments much harder to let go of.
This is everything.
When people don’t sell, the price doesn’t go down.
Bear or bull, P2E gaming will outperform
No matter what happens in the market — up, down, sideways — it’s always a good idea to invest where money is being deployed to build.
There’s no shortage of cash pumping into gaming.
Peek at this chart to see how 2021’s leading metaverse & gaming projects (Sandbox/Axie Infinity) fared against crypto juggernauts, Bitcoin & Ethereum.
It doesn’t take a genius to break this one down… Through all the highs and lows of 2021, you were better off parking your cash in gaming & metaverse projects.
*UPDATE** 6/15/2022
Even after the current crash markets have seen, SAND and AXS are still more than double their May ‘21 prices, while BTC & ETH are down 65–70%. When market conditions improve, it’s a good bet the best gaming projects will continue to outperform.
Ok — maybe the last 8 months isn’t a big enough sample size…
Decentraland (MANA) has been around since 2017 and is the most established blockchain metaverse player. Let’s see how its ROI compared to a few of the major tech leaders of the last five years:
What you’re seeing here is an evolution in the digital world that will make wealthy those who are properly prepared.
The earliest fortunes will be forged in the gaming industry. It will pay well to recognize this sooner rather than later:
GAMES = WELCOME TO THE METAVERSE
Don’t underestimate how much money these worlds will generate. The last major gaming evolution, mobile gaming, rapidly grew to $85B and >50% of the entire gaming market.
Check out the birth of “the Metaverse” compared to the birth of mobile gaming — here’s a snapshot of their first 50 months:
Now keep this fact in mind: MANA (Decentraland) is just one project. There are hundreds of others at various stages of development as you read this.
If you thought mobile gaming was big, you’re gonna want to hold on to your pants… Blockchain, P2E and “Gamefi” innovations will fuel growth unlike anything this industry has ever seen.
Where do we get started?
Ready for a bold claim? We will see trillion dollar (not a typo) gaming & metaverse companies in the not so distant future.
It would be wise to park your money in this evolving landscape (NFA!). Look for winning blockchain games, gaming guilds, and gaming/metaverse infrastructure projects.
Target high quality teams that consistently deliver, seek alpha and learn from the experts. Dive into communities and help lead the charge to this exciting new digital frontier.
Sure — It’s a lot to take in… but you don’t have to do it alone.
Thankfully, it’s still so early and opportunity is everywhere, you just have to know where to look.
