1/ In Q1 of this year we began the $TOWER experiment and its a good time to have a year-end assessment/reflection now with @CrazyDefenseEN enjoying 3x growth & sessions, massive increase in retention and significant growth in installs/revenue powered by #blockchain #nft
2/ It was dubbed the $TOWER experiment because its tower defense and we wanted to blend F2P gaming with #blockchain and ultimately #playtoearn read our original post on the matter medium.com/tower-token/th…
3/ $TOWER could only be earned by playing the game, had no investor raise and was a completely fair launch medium.com/tower-token/to… and was priced at $0.001 it was truly experimental for its time (currently at about $0.06)
4/ We have taken the perspective that an #openmetaverse such as @TheSandboxGame or @REVV_Token should be valued as GDPs and this is starting to play out ysiu.medium.com/toward-the-new…
5/ We aimed to demonstrate that bringing #blockchain to #f2p can work and deliver new and improved value to the players in @CrazyDefenseEN and with sessions and retention at records high we are moving in the right direction #stillmuchtodo
6/ We have always felt that gaming was going to drive #blockchain adoption and to accelerate that we need to find many ways to bridge traditional games to #blockchain and #NFT games this is just one of the many experiments forkast.news/atari-yat-siu-…
7/ The most well-known example of this is our involvement of what eventually became @TheSandboxGame powered by $SAND token a strong team that worked on games for decades before and now an incredible GDP on the #openmetaverse venturebeat.com/2018/08/26/ani…

1/ Meta formerly known as Facebook today is to the #Metaverse what the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) is to democracy. The real metaverse is open has true digital data ownership and is governed by a majority interest i.e. its users decrypt.co/84043/facebook…
2/ Facebook commands the attention of 2.89 billion users but because they own all our data it is today the complete opposite to what a truly interoperable and open metaverse should be. They are the new Digital Kings (and of our data) and which King willingly gives up his Kingdom?
3/ Interestingly Mark Zuckerberg briefly discusses #NFTs and digital ownership but in very vague terms, the way to ensure Meta embraces #NFT and #blockchain is to educate the world what #digitalpropertyrights truly means theverge.com/22749919/mark-…

1/ .@animocabrands is excited to announce its new strategic fundraise from @Ubisoft @LCVentures @dragonfly_cap @Com2uS @DTAPCAP @sequoia china @justinsuntron @lucytokenbay and others at a $2.2 billion pre-money valuation! venturebeat.com/2021/10/20/ani…
2/ We had raised $138,888,888 just in the last quarter so this raise was about the strategic benefits that our new group of investors could bring to the #openmetaverse #NFTs which @animocabrands has been actively supporting with now over 100 companies in the fam.
3/ Portfolio companies like @opensea @dapperlabs @AxieInfinity @YieldGuild are leading the way in demonstrating the growth and potential of #NFTs #playtoearn and all the disruptive opportunities they represent ledgerinsights.com/play-to-earn-n…

2/ 2.5 years in the making to launch the kind of game that can compete with the highest quality titles in the market right now while delivering the benefits of #NFT #truedigitalownership the gameplay video below is in-game footage built on @UnrealEngine
3/ The game is already playable on Steam as a pre-beta/alpha with some of the best gameplay and visuals of any game (including #NFTGaming) out there today in the hope that it can bring on #blockchain mass adoption faster through gamers! In-game footage:

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

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.
