Hi guys and welcome to another beautify Tuesday morning aka lazy day, reason I don’t know xd, but what I do know, is that am usually lazy such days.

Today am going to deviate from reviews but rather spend a little time just writing my thoughts. Warning possibility of getting bored is high, advance at your own discretion xd.

Always wanted to say that.

Gaming and blockchain, you heard of it, you seen it and you probably used it, you can’t stop it, as it is the future and the future is now.

My time on steem really taught me a lot and also met superb individuals as well as op content creators, most times you wished they were actually nerfed.

Thinking out loud and the application the bloackchain technology stands to bring to the gaming community is actually limitless ranging from easy purchase of games, to funding of games projects.

We already have some platforms that take the above into consideration and others already been built, it kind of reminds me of the anime Sword Art Online SAO for short, the first series of the anime showed players trapped in a virtual reality world, made by a mad and intelligent genius, and the best part was that he made himself the final boss, users were to fight their way through different towers and at the top stand the boss, but the disadvantage or side effect, was that if your avatar was killed in the game you were actually killed in real-life.

Why not take the game of?, i

It was built in a way that if tempered with, players would be killed instantly and hence no one did that, the only way was to defeat the game, but my major concern here, is not actually the first series but rather the next series that happened after the first series was completed, meaning season 2 and others.

I think the application of blockchain technology tally with this, after the first game was defeated, the game broke down into one big world and different users/ game developers now had the ability to build on this platform and link their progresses across this multiple platforms, meaning your progress on Game A, will still be same progress if you decide to port to Game B, meaning the data’s are never lost, rather they are recorded forever, just like what the blockchain promises.

Now with the application of blockchain technology, gamers would be able to trade their coins or ingame items via different platform and their progresses can be saved in the blockchain system which can then be port from one game to another when the need be as the user see fit.

Imagine playing a game for hours and after completion, the data becomes somewhat useless, agree you can start from different checkpoints you must have made during the game but then, should that all?

Must your progress end there, hours spent trying to power up and defeating each and every stage thrown at you, only to finish the game and abandon your progress, starting all over in a new game, I think with blockchain technology, such progresses could actually be moved from one game to another, giving you a higher stand when you enter a new game and whichever avatar you choose, would be maxed, or probably high enough.

The idea of starting all over will now be optional, also a general market system will be available, where players will be able to trade their in game items, those rare collections you only get when playing the game, that is those skins or emote not available in the game market, due to your devotion in the game it was given to you, and hence they would probably fetch a high price. With this, skilled players who are unable to upgrade or purchase more items but have this rare items, will be able to sell and make the purchases needs, the money traded with/ used will be the cryptocurrency we probably know and widely accepted, then it can be cashed out or exchanged for real-life items.

I believe a day will come when cryptocurrency of different type will be general accepted by the public and the need to first exchange to btc or eth and then to fiat will be outdated, a system that provides easy and fun way to complete transactions.

The dip currently making waves and people are becoming uncertain of the next step to take, would it be wise to pull out completely from crypto, taking the little amount still left in your portfolio or wait and hodl, am no crypto expert and the decisions lie on you and you alone, after all its your fund you gained either gift or investing.

With that been said, I believe cryptocurrency and the blockchain technology is rather still new and we still have so much potentials yet to be tapped be it on gaming, music and other entertainment or medical use and what have you.

The applications of the blockchain technology is limitless and the sooner we start making use of them, the better and wide spread will the adoption be.

Someone once said, gaming will be a huge impact as to what will happen to cryptocurrency as gamers are somewhat tech wise due to their daily activities and making a wide adoption via gaming is going to be possible.

If you still in doubt take a look at Esport, who ever thought such platform will generate that large amount of users and be sponsored by a lot, even to the point were different countries are trying to build and train gamers, improve their reflex time and what have you to compete in a somewhat like national level.

So gaming its one of the way to bring about more adoption to cryptocurrency and the blockchain technology.

Remember the above just my random thoughts and am no financial expert that give advice, the above just for fun.

Do have fun and stay bless.
