Cryptocurrency and Video Games - Big Potential Here
As a parent, Imagine quitting your 9-5 job so that you can play video games with your children. This is a potential future reality. Video games and cryptocurrency is just one of the new avenues of massive wealth potential within the cryptosphere. Gaming is a huuuuuge market. The timing is ripe with new opportunities to create user incentives that are mutually beneficial to the creators and the overall video game ecosystem.
It's fascinating to consider that children could be the 'bread winners' of family households in terms of funds brought in. The video game world economy has huge potential to scale. The big issues will obviously be in creating the best incentives for users and participants. See this is the fine line....because gaming culture has been somewhat traditionally about corporate profits....and the best video game crypto model i can imagine right now, involves a decentralized autonomous organization....where a crypto is created to support a variety of games...and perhaps mining can be supported within game play.
What about a video game crypto that is designed to be an add on option for a variety of games and platforms...where it can be mined by playing different games...like the blockchain crypto is set up in such a way where your console or computer game sort of plugs in and powers the blockchain...the mining of the coins.
I think it would be fantastic to connect a crypto to all the old arcade style games...to play on connecting with all the fans of old nostalgia video games.
The beauty of connecting cryptocurrency and video games is that the potential is massive in terms of wealth creation....the network effect is tremendous. This requires a different way of thinking. More of an out of the box type of attitude. See - the problem with the best world wide prosperity has been a result historically because of the way we have existed with money. To restrictive...not adaptive enough in supporting as many options and abilities as possible. Creating ways to connect enjoyable activities with money...where essentially you can create money....cyrpto by participating within activity is frankly quite brilliant. Instead of placing so much emphasis on working to have limitted free time...the economy focus can be more and more cultivated to supporting rest and relaxation by creating opportunities to work on passion projects of individual interest.
This post is kind of a rough draft brainstorm....i felt it important to make note of the potentials i see here - and to also ask and encourage anyone within the video game and crypto space to share perspective here in terms of gaming meets crypto options.
I recently heard digibyte isn't in fact doing anything with videogames. Game credits...and mobile.go.....and round....are the only crytpo connected video game coins that I am familiar with to date...and all of them seem to be very very early stages.
More investigation is indeed required.
Please feel free to share in the comment sections. Perhaps the comments can become a place of further collaboration.
Would love to play TETRIS and somehow mine crypto - wouldn't that be something!
Hey my friend ;-)
Could you give this a shout out to your audience because i think it might be an important topic to discuss...

Normally i would not ask for somthing like this, but this is important to know for the community. And i don't have a big audience....
Mahh man!

BE THE FIRST TO DO IT AND YOU GONNA BE LIKE SUPER SUPER @gigafart RICH "HA HA" COOL idea really!
Thats an awesome idea. I know DGB is doing something similar, but you can not mine while playing ...
Mine first get rich first :P
Gamecredits/MobileGo... also Firstblood
I proposed something like this as a development idea for Steemit but I might not have stated it very well. I hope it gets done (or else I'm going to have to learn to code lol)
Great ideas! I came across your article while I was searching for info on the blockchain and videogames...I am trying to get my teenage boys interested in the blockchain, as it is their future, and if it can work with their love of video games, it will do well. I just started on Steemit (I'm posting my intro post today...), so I would definitely be interested in this topic within the community.
