These 3 things are the most important core foundation of NFTs:

1. Provenance
2. Ownership
3. Interoperability

#3 is the least explored aspect.

CC0 creates friction around #2, but allows #3 to be truly explored.

Games that pay people to play

Games that pay people to create content

I’m increasingly convinced that game servers as protocols paying fees to level, art, quest, story creators is the future.

Jonah Blake (Real Third Web) on influencers using the narrative of NFTs & Gaming to pump their own bags

Jonah 🎮

@RealJonahBlake

Hot take: most web3 collectors and influencers don’t actually care about gaming and are just using the narrative of NFTs and gaming to pump their own bags. Ask them what web2 video games they’re playing right now…

Nifty Island - Web3 represents a breaktrhough in how we associate & coordinate online

Nifty Island 🏝

@niftyisland

Web3 represents a breakthrough in how we associate and coordinate online

Games are where these powerful new systems will first be applied

Then we'll take on the real world together

Loopify (Treeverse) - You don’t need to reinvent the wheel all the time in Web3

Loopify 🧙‍♂️

You do not need to reinvent the wheel all the time in Web3.

Sometimes the best, and simplest approach is looking at existing models.

Imran Khan (Alliance DAO) - “Move fast break things” mentality will not work in crypto

Imran Khan

@lmrankhan

It should be clear to founders/investors that the 'move fast break things' mentality from Web2 will not work in crypto

By overlooking security and prioritizing growth you are effectively telling your users to go to your competitors or worse leave crypto permanently

Kix.eth (Crypto Raiders) - The biggest game innovations came from MODS created for free by passionate devs

Kix

Did you know some of the biggest game innovations of the past 20 years, all came from MODs created for free by passionate devs?

MOBAS = Warcraft 3 Mod
Battle Royale = Arma 2 Mod

Sadly the big studios copy these modes and make billions.

Blockchain can innovate 3rd party rewards

Brycent - Build for long term opportunities not short term bags

Brycent

This is a joke but true. Build for long term opportunities not short term bags.

Play the games and create content that is gameplay focused and you’re already in the 1% of web3 content creators.

Nickmetzler - Timelocked games

nickmetzler.eth (✖️,🎲)

@MetzlerGames

Very few have mindfully experimented with time-locked games yet

Games that the world can only play for a limited time and then it's gone forever. Like nugget dippin szechuan sauce was 'gone forever'.

Scarcity is more than a number in a collection.

Kix.eth (Crypto Raiders) - Digital economies will thrive in Web3, challenging is making them long-term sustainable

Kix

People often clown on NFTs and Web3, especially when it comes to integration with gaming.

Do you know there are ships in Eve Online worth 10's of thousands of real life dollars?

Digital economies will thrive in Web3, the challenge is making them long-term sustainable, 10yr+

Loopify (Treeverse) - Backbone of your project comes from building a strong community

Loopify 🧙‍♂️

As the face of an NFT project, your job is to express the vision you have long-term to your community to the best of your capability.

The backbone of your project comes from building a strong community. They help you in times of need.

So, don't build it on lies or hype.

Kix.eth (Crypto Raiders) - 2 biggest NFT applications over the next few years

Kix

I talked with an investor in Crypto Raiders today who said the two biggest NFT applications he see's over the next few years:

1. Digitization of Physical Goods
2. Gaming

Kix.eth (Crypto Raiders) - The true metaverse

Kix

The true metaverse will be a decentralized protocol that any digital experience can interlink with.

You will not need to own land to build on top of it.

You will not need to buy an NFT to participate.

I'm not sure whether there will be a currency token attached or not.

Brycent - Assimilation will be key

Brycent

Web3 gaming will become gaming when we stop separating ourselves from traditional gamers.

Assimilation will be key for gamers, games, and ecosystems. Bring it all together.

1/ .@Melt_Dem the thesis around #blockchain #gaming imo can be viewed as an economic paradigm shift rather than an incremental growth, gamers represent 3.4 billion today who already have a relationship to virtual currency & goods and is one of the best paths to #massadoption

Meltem Demirors
@Melt_Dem

1/ doing some deep dives / thinking on blockchain gaming

the thesis around gaming *sounds* good but i struggle with the market narrative

Roblox ($RBLX) reported negative EBITDA every quarter for the last four quarters, and has a market cap of about $26B today
