The next big rotation will be #GameFi season and you’re still early (for now). The coming GameFi season could be the most explosive 🧨 one yet. A thread on why ⬇️ . Read to the end for alpha 👀
1/39
Most coins have been downtrending for the past 6-7 weeks (only some small caps have been outperforming). While the NFT season has been making waves during the same period. We are seeing a dispersed market in real time.
2/
We see many chad NFT guys making life changing money. From #AzukiZen to #BAYC and @AdamBombSquad, there are stories of peeps flipping 5 ETH into 100 ETH or more over the past few weeks. Thats a pretty decent profit. Where does this money flow to?
3/
Personally think that some of the profits from NFT season will flow into gaming NFTs. Feels like a natural thing to do since NFT guys are alrdy used to buying nfts. Some NFTs like capsule house/treeverse have roadmaps to eventually launch games too.
4/
Within DeFi, this may be an unpopular view, but i will share my thoughts anyway. DeFi has had a good run over the past 6 months. We had crv/cvx wars, ohm/fork parabola, basically all of defi 2.0 rallied hard. It seems many got tired of it. The $cvx wars narrative has slowed.
5/
Whether defi investors have become too rich, bored or tired of the existing narratives, everyone is searching for the next $spell or defi 3.0 protocol. While i believe $cvx narrative comes back, I think the attention goes somewhere else first.
6/
People who know me would know i was extremely bullish $cvx eco, basically the whole defi 2.0 wave and have benefited from the ride. But after speaking to some friends in this space, consensus seem to be, money flows somewhere else.
7/
GameFi is a good midpoint of NFT x DeFi. Both group of investors can understand it somewhat well. Seems like the next best place to go, while defi devs continue to build out the next innovative products.
8/
On the other hand GameFi devs have been building their products over the past months, and alot of projects are launching new stuff soon. GameFi was pretty much all p2e and people got bored of $axie for awhile. This is about to change..
9/
The play to earn(p2e) transition to play and earn(p&e) is a welcomed change. If you’ve read all the articles that @0xRyze and other game economists talk about. This is where gamefi is fortunately moving towards.
10/
P&E game designs will bring the next wave of competitive gamers into Blockchain gaming and further onboard many more gamers into this space. Increasingly, more traditional game companies have announced their entry into blockchain gaming too.
11/
Traditional Game companies like Ubisoft has been venturing into blockchain gaming. One of its partnership with @TheSandboxGame $sand here.

12/
Microsoft is acquiring Activision, which is huge news for the blockchain gaming community

news.microsoft.com/2022/01/18/mic…
13/
TradFi PE firms like Softbank has been investing in gaming/metaverse plays

14/
More blockchain gaming funds. The list goes on.

reuters.com/markets/us/sol…
15/
In addition, Crypto funds are aggressively hiring gaming talents for their investment teams. Below is just one example from a16z.
16/
In short,
- Tradfi Funds & Crypto funds are both aggressively investing in blockchain gaming
- These funds are hiring more gaming talents to expend investment teams
- Transition to p&e will attract more competitive gamers -> potentially leading to better crypto e-sports eco
17/
- GameFi is a good midpoint for NFTs & DeFi
- Many factors do point to a coming GameFi season

To add on, just look at how resilient and how much some GameFi coins have been pumping?
18/
@PlayCrabada $cra
19/
@Treasure_DAO $magic
20/
Both $cra and $magic have been really solid over the past month.

Both have solid communities that are very helpful and really passionate about their ecosystem, which is good for investors.
21/
So, if GameFi season is coming. How do we play this? Will share my personal thoughts as well as discussion amongst solid rotator friends. Lets go. ⬇️
22/
Avax Subnet as a Catalyst

Subnets will be launching very soon in Q1. Rush 2.0 incentives focused on subnets will also be launching. As a whole subnet helps gamefi tremendously due to +speed +scalability, everything you need for a high performance game with massive user base
23/
@DefiKingdoms $jewel and @PlayCrabada $cra are the blue-chip gaming tokens to focus on in the $avax eco. There are alot of solid articles you can find within CT for both games.
24/
GameFi on Arbitrium

@treasure_dao $magic is an entire ecosystem of games / nfts / projects just like the Nintendo Gameverse. I think the white wolf might be accumulating too 👀 A great article on $magic below

GameFi on Polygon

Both @crypto_raiders and @crypto_unicorns are solid p2e games over at polygon. If you’ve been following gamefi guys, you’d have seen many making a killing with unicorns going from 0.2e to 2e floor over the past few months.
26/
There are so many games out there, and its so difficult to pick the right game and rotate out unless you’re going to play for the long term. If you don’t have time to review all the docs, a good way to play the gamefi szn could be Guilds. Wrote this in my q1 22 outlook.
27/
Guilds like $ygg $mc $gf $avg work like an index fund for gamefi. Since they participate in most of the solid games, an investment in a guild is like buying the SPY etf. Where you get to “hold” the best companies. The bad companies are reviewed and replaced frequently.
28/
Of the guilds, I personally think @guildfi $gf is one of the best positioned to capitalise on the GameFi season. I will share some thoughts why.
H/t @kavi88rawal
29/
GuildFi has a guildfi ID platform that has all key player data in one place. This is important as we move towards p&e model. Below is a good article by the guild on how they are already prepared, positioned and ready for this transition.
medium.com/guildfi/play-t…
30/
Holding the $gf token staked has many benefits. You get value accrual for various things including a launch pad. Imagine getting new tokens airdropped to $sGF token holders? What if you get a token like $ptp and it goes 100x. Will you fade it?
medium.com/guildfi/the-gf…
31/
Guildfi also has a solid treasury position, where they can deploy to purchase good quality digital/gaming assets. Higher the treasury, the better innit. If you can’t trade, cant invest, cant pick coins, just invest in a guild.
32/
Interestingly, their treasury is worth $140m, current circulating market cap is $75m 🤯 Pretty decent discount there..
H/t: @cloudDeFi
33/
I have accumulated some $cra and $tus. Thinking that $tus will be an interesting play as new game modes are released. More players/guilds will come in to purchase crabs, the currency needed is $tus. Not sure if land will require $tus but I would guess it will be needed.
34/
As $tus is down approx 30% from ATH, its a good chance to DCA into a position. And when it goes back up, perhaps swap into $cra.
$cra will be a med term hold for me and will DCA. Also some big wallets hv just started to buy $cra 👀
35/
I’ve accumulated some $slp and $axs as well as i think the game makes a come back. And as the pioneer/leader of gamefi sector it will have a good run, and rotate into other gaming coins after.
36/
$dcau is a really early play on Avax eco, low cap with fdv 16m or so. Its the dragon coin everyone is talking about and its deflationary. H/t my @_dcdao fam for sharing this coin. I love this coin at 3 digits. Will love it more at 4 digits.
37/
Closing thoughts:

While nothing is guaranteed. I personally believe GameFi season might be just around the corner. This season might see many 10-50x, who knows, just look at what $axs did in 2021 🤯

While we are in a bear market, its time to 👀
38/
Also, check out how gamefi coins have been performing over the past few weeks. As @0xWangarian pointed out, GameFi coins could be resilient and even outperform in a bear market. Gamers still gonna game innit?
