I am not a gamer or into it but from what I know about it, your assessment seems spot on. I believe there are already some games appearing on this blockchain already. It is something that I am sure will expand. It only makes sense that the participants can earn more by cutting out the "middle man" which is the corporations facilitating the events/leagues.

As for the money situation in lesser countries, you nailed it. One thing you missed is what is the transaction rate for the Mexican you work with to send money back home? From what I understand, they get gouged. Imagine sending the money back in BTC or even STEEM with no fees.

That is why I became such a proponent of both Manna and STEEM. Manna is given to people which, ultimately, with token appreciation, can help those in the poorer countries. We also see STEEM being used as an income for many people. This is the trend that I want to help continue.
