1/ We have always believed the gaming is going to lead crypto and blockchain mainstream adoption which is the reason @animocabrands invested in @AxieInfinity and the team behind it @Jihoz_Axie @trungfinity @Psycheout86 #NFT #Gaming
2/ Going down memory lane these are excerpts of our May 2018 slides (full presentation here: asx.com.au/asxpdf/2018052…) talking about our early partnership with @CryptoKitties the reasons why #blockchain #games could be significant for crypto adoption
3/ Through decades of video game history we have made generations of players comfortable with the idea of virtual currencies and virtual assets and gaming has historically pushed technology forward. Gaming utility is entirely virtual and is its own raison d'être #premetaverse
4/ Faster GPUs, CPUs like @nvidia @AMD specialized gear like @PlayStation @Xbox @NintendoAmerica created solely for virtual play! Industries growing entirely due to gaming @TwitchEsports @discord fueling an already +$160b larger than music+movies venturebeat.com/2021/05/12/gam…
5/ I discuss this at some length with @Forkast_News @AngieTVLau 2 years ago forkast.news/video-audio/wa… #NFT #gaming

1/ .@punk6529 from the perspective of @animocabrands an investor in @decentraland and owner of @TheSandboxGame we'd like to to offer our perspective of the importance and relevance of Metaverse Land #NFTs
2/ Onboarding can only happen if it is desirable to do so, Greenland is the size of the entire U.S. east coast but has a population the size of a small town. Many reasons why but more, cheap or free land has not onboarded more people into their countries tatlerasia.com/culture/travel…
3/ indeed New York has the attention of 8m people but so does Bogota but its land is significantly less expensive. Why? The per capita influence of New York is higher which is what makes it more desirable and why you want to live there. Metaverse Land functions similarly.

The level of support, hope and encouragement @animocabrands has been receiving after our Unicorn raise has been amazing, inspiring. We are deeply humbled and grateful of all the support from the #NFT community👇venturebeat.com/2021/05/13/ani…
We intentionally constructed @animocabrands as both builders like @F1DeltaTime @TheSandboxGame and ecosystem investors in the #NFT ecosystem because we firmly believe in the Web 3.0 network effect as mutually beneficial it is why we invested in over 50 #NFT projects (++future)
For digital property rights to truly function it must stay open and composable in much the same way #opensource has been to code. #NFTs represent in an immutable fashion our ideas, imagination, stories and our culture. I discuss some of that here:

#NFTs is a store of culture why is that? 👇
#NFT captures the imagination, ideas and creativity that shape a digital collective born through human achievement which has recently been best expressed with #art #nfts time.com/5947720/nft-ar…
Investing in #NFTs makes you a participant in a creative collective and in so doing allows you to help shape and influence that community. It is #social and far more powerful than just value which is why we believe that #NFTs are going to bring mainstream #blockchain adoption

We are still early in explaining to the world what #NFTs really mean. @SatoshiLite is conflating original creation with copy-paste, in the art world you can also print many copies of an original eg. litographic prints with almost zero cost as well.
Picasso can only create so many originals in his lifetime but his works have been reprinted millions of times. Nobody will argue that a print is worth the same or more than the original art but to preserve value he can set limits to his own production. christies.com/features/Picas…
Feel free to create many millions of copies of your Chikun, it may not be very valuable but very likely your very first one will be more valuable than any other copy thereafter. @MetaKovan who bought the first @F1DeltaTime car is a prime example of this. cointelegraph.com/news/why-i-spe…
