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 ...

How will Blockchain boost trade in Africa?

Despite a regional economic slowdown in 2020, over a dozen African countries grew last year. Complicated trade rules and lengthy border processes stifle African economies. These long-standing issues need creative solutions. Blockchain is becoming more practical and scalable in developing markets. It has just opened a regulatory "sandbox" for innovative blockchain-based goods in Ghana. Standard Bank has joined Marco Polo, a trade financing network. Here are four ways blockchain may help African trade: 1. Customs The AU-EU trade deal is still in its infancy. Traditional customs bureaucracy prevents SMEs from joining global trade networks. This procedure can be automated and simplified, saving time and money. 2. Traceability Tracking cross-border goods correctly is critical for standard and certification verification. Already, blockchain is allowing ethical supply chains for a variety of African goods. Its open-source but secure design makes certificates easy to issue and verify...

This summer, the Fed will take another step toward creating a digital money

  This summer, the Federal Reserve will publish a research paper that examines the possibility of a central bank digital currency. Multiple countries' initiatives in the central bank digital currency arena, most notably China's, have heightened debate about how aggressively the Fed should act. The Federal Reserve is pushing ahead with its plans to create its own digital currency, stating that a study paper will be released this summer that will go deeper into the topic. Despite the fact that the central bank did not announce any particular plans for the currency, Chairman Jerome Powell acknowledged advancements in payments technology and stated that the Fed has been "actively monitoring and responding" to those developments. In the statement, The proper operation of our economy requires that consumers have faith and confidence not only in the dollar, but also in the payment networks, banks, and other payment service providers that allow money to flow on a regular basi...
