1) How will NFTs impact gaming?

There are 2.7 BILLION gamers worldwide

This year they will spend ~$160 BILLION dollars

If gaming were a country its GDP would rank 55th, comparable to the wealthy country of Qatar

Those are some huge numbers

2) Today, all these gamers are spending money and it's a sunk cost

They do not receive anything back from all that money they are spending

NFTs change all of that

NFTs will allow people to earn money directly from playing video games

3) “But people already earn money from gaming!”

While this is true it is not from directly playing a game. It is often through 3rd parties - streaming on Twitch or creating videos on YouTube

4) Now gamers can earn NFTs directly from gameplay

They can buy, sell and trade the items that they acquire or purchase

5) Now imagine if these 2.7 billion gamers were connected to a global, 24/7 uncensorable financial system

Someone in China could instantly trade with someone in France who could easily trade with someone in Brazil.

6) Those 2.7 billion gamers become connected and essentially form the world's most populous country, all within these video games

7) Not only will this unlocks billions of dollars, create entirely new economies but it will also allow for millions of people to have better access to economic opportunities -

8) NFTs aren't a question of “if” they are a question of “when”

The upside is too great and eventually, every video game will utilize NFTs
