Crypto Will Be Mainstream, Ask A Gamer
Hey people of steem,
So we are in the early stages of the crypto world. The really early stages. When it comes to crypto you need to realize that steem and ethereum are just the networks that dapps run on. The real push towards mainstream is when dapps are made. These are where you are going to get a better understanding of why crypto is the future. You have already used one, steemit. Steemit is the app (in this case website) that runs on the blockchain of steem. Now without steemit you would not know about steem. This does not change what steem is but it is hard to fathom how big crypto is without an app to make it user-friendly. And when these apps start to grow then crypto will be everywhere.
Gamers alone can be enough to push it mainstream. Games are coming out that are going to be on a blockchain (like steem monsters). These are going to be huge. Gamers want to own their assets and be able to make a side income. And being an add-on there is not reason for games not to add them. This will add more players and excitement for your game. Once these games hit twitch and esports then you have that mainstream excitement.
This can be years away but I am pretty sure it is coming.
I agree, there are already a lot of games coming out on on these slow limited blockchains like Ethereum, With this new faster blockchains like EOS and Cardano gaming is going to be a huge industry. Like you pointed out, even steem is seeing some action with steem monsters and it is not even really a platform blockchain, although it is heading more in that direction with smart media tokens.
In the digital revolution gamers have always been at the forefront......... I doubt they'll stay behind in blockchain revolution. Their contributions are underrated and I have sneaking suspicion that they don't really care for the accolades because all that matters to them is 'the next level' :-)
PS: I am not a gamer but have enough friends in the community to know what their passion is all about.
Just think of World of Warcraft in its heyday. They had 9million subscribers and their own “money” system within the game. What if that “gold” in WoW was actually worth something in the cryptoverse? What about Fortnight, Black Opps, Halo, Elder Scrolls or Destiny. All of them have their own “economies” in their respective games.
Well that was the case for WoW. You could sell gold or even whole accounts for real money, so you could say Blizzard made the first crypto currency. Eat your heart out Satoshi Nakamoto.
Lol true true. I still have my account. I should have sold it. I had six level 65+ characters.
Yeah you probably could have sold them for a pretty penny once upon a time, but with the dip in WoW users I doubt you’d get much if anything.
Currencies in the case of a significant decline

Right from the beginning before there were any gamer coins, I thought it would be a great idea to create one. The context was in the frame of MMOs where the game creators could make money from the assets the players buy, or even build games where the economies were driven by the players.
This will be a huge shift because it seems that MMOs don't last these days. Dominated by hardcore players who drive all the casual players out as there is no competing with the lifeless mtn dew chuggers that live for games.
Games are becoming more accessible to normies with the consoles and the block chain will make it so that these normies can make a few bucks while playing.
Game changing.
