Holy crap! After getting a few DMs from my friends I did something I rarely do, which is focus on the token charts and looking at how much different tokens cost. Turns out that the entire play2earn space/"vertical" is pumping right now even though most other tokens are falling.
Not only is Hive above $1 (woot!), WAX is threatening to hit $1 as well and WEMIX is absolutely to the moon and beyond at $17+!! I'm not a charts guy but even I get excited looking at this.
What to do when gaming moons
What does this mean? How should we think about blockchain gaming at this current moment?
I do think the current gaming token pump is a validation from the market of this new trend towards blockchain gaming. From my perspective as a gamer and long time crypto enthusiast, this is clearly a wave that will continue to grow.
To be clear, markets go up and down, DYOR or you will get wrecked, but I just think this is clearly a "new normal" kind of situation, crypto gaming is here to stay and I highly doubt it will be going away EVER.
If you're a competitive gamer or a content creator and you aren't involved in the play2earn space... now would be a very good time to start :-P
