Overcoming the skepticism about blockchain games

 

Chris LoVerme of SpacePirate Games and Witek Radomski of Enjin discussed the recently enacted Valve limitation on games that employ non-fungible tokens during a session at the GamesBeat Summit Next in Las Vegas. One-of-a-kind digital items can be authenticated with NFTs because of the digital ledger's transparency and security provided by the blockchain. In video games, the rarity of rare collectible items can lead to new economic strategies. There have been over $780 million in NFT sales at Dapper Labs in the last year. The most expensive digital collage ever sold was a Beeple NFT electronic collage sold at Christie's in March for $69.3 million. NFT sales topped $1.2 billion in the first quarter of this year.

Video game treasures can be sold using NFTs, a fresh and exciting idea. Traditional financial institutions are often viewed as frauds or over-hyped schemes for quick money. Companies like SpacePirate Games and Enjin are using NFTs to promote the mass acceptance of video-game ownership.

Bitcoin and NFT art have both surged in value throughout the year 2021 in line with blockchain gaming. In the future, "play-to-earn" games could allow people to earn a career simply by playing them. Re-sales of NFTs are easy to track down and can be traced back to their original manufacturers or owners. According to a group of game developers, blockchain-based games have the potential to be more democratic, decentralized, and player-centric than current games are. Steam rejected LoVerme's Age of Rust and other NFT games because of concerns about its "real-world value." Concerns about NFT goods' "real-world value" prompted Steam to make the move. Fight for the Future has asked Valve to rethink their choice.

In the beginning, Valve refused to allow non-destructive, non-referendu, NFT games to be published on Steam because they broke their terms of service. Radomski objected to the fact that companies can use NFTs in a number of ways in games. He argued that the blanket ban imposed by a well-known gaming website was overly prescriptive.

To boost trade, Africa is simplifying international payment systems

It's hard to transfer money between African countries. The Ghanaian king settled a bill with a Nigerian attorney. His experience highlights a systemic problem impeding Africa's economic growth: high transaction costs and inconvenience. 15% of all imports and exports occur between 55 African countries. 60% of Asian trade is within Asia. 70% in EU. The difficulty of international payments hinders African trade. There are also high tariffs, long border procedures, and congested roads. Proponents of AfCFTA say easing trade restrictions will boost trade, FDI, and economic growth. 50 million people will be lifted out of extreme poverty by 2035 due to the accord's positive impact on real income, which is projected to rise 9.1%.  Another issue: In Africa, currency values fluctuate. From July 2021 to 2022, Ghana's currency fell from 6 to 8. Volatile currencies make financial transactions more costly and risky. To overcome these problems, PAPSS facilitates financial transactions ...

A more accessible blockchain-based app dev in progress

Outside of cryptocurrency, blockchain has a lot of potential. Decentralized applications and distributed ledgers may soon be used by established industries such as finance, automotive, supply chain, and mobility. However, creating your own blockchain from the ground up is quite tough. Lisk co-founder Max Kordek discusses how to make decentralization more approachable. Blockchain's decentralized, tamper-proof nature has the ability to decentralize power and offer the collective hive more data control. Data from different manufacturers may be linked, and data from different vehicles could be shared. With so much money pouring towards asteroid mining and Mars expeditions, an interplanetary economy appears to be a foregone conclusion. Established businesses are less likely to have a say in the change than new entrepreneurs. When Bitcoin was first launched, the development ecosystem was "terrible," according to Kordek. He claims that developing on the open source and immutable...

Embracing blockchain as a tool for change

Blockchain technology is increasingly being employed in enterprises outside of the financial industry, and this trend is expected to continue in the future. By 2023, it is estimated that investment in blockchain technologies will reach US$16 billion per year on average. (Approximately RM68 billion). To put this in perspective, consider the fact that US$8.7 billion was invested in blockchain and cryptocurrencies in the first half of 2021. The Malaysian government is aiming to create a long-term environment for the country's technology and financial services industries in the next years. Founded in Singapore in July 2021 by Iskandar Investment Bhd as a wholly-owned subsidiary, the Ignite Global Innovation and Technology Exchange will be the world's first global innovation and technology exchange. In Malaysia, IIB Ventures Sdn Bhd is in charge of the development of the blockchain industry's ecosystem. This is why BV@M has set a goal of creating a blockchain ecosystem in Medini...
