THE GOOD
- Games or apps that integrate transparent market data as a feature of the in-game world or application, letting users feel even more control over their "destiny" in crypto on a day to day basis. Want to exchange for a better performing asset? There's your chance. The transparency is so, so good. The fewer hurdles to exchange for another crypto, the more I believe an app or game ensures it long term survival.
- Healthy NFT Market Behavior: People are buying low value NFT's or mining them in various games to "trade up". After seeing profit, word of mouth stimulates even further interest, increasing prices on these low price items.
- Promising and engaging game interactions with NFTs' attributes: Developers of video games are taking advantage of the attributes. There's even more possible, it just requires a bit more imagination and integration with future video game 'realities'.
THE BAD
- Disguised Mining (DM): While I don't mind installing a phone app on the Google App store to mine and earn some crypto, I don't find it the ideal. But concealing a crypto miner for oneself or your shareholders inside a beautifully made video game….that's just sleazy. Steam gamers are on it, though, publishing reports and negative reviews.
- Biometric Abusers (BMA): crypto apps and software that biometrically abuse a user (GPS, 3D face scan, permissions abuse). Offering very little reward (if any) along with sleazy tactics to ensure no one can cash out their rewards. I've found plenty that are legitimate but also very, very bad apps that don't deserve a moment of your time.
- Enemy State Actors: Basically like the two above, except motivated not by greed or crime but to data mine for artificial intelligence algorithms for warfare. This is unlimited warfare: apps, computers, Raspberry pis, smart speakers, whatever. Employing blockchain and a mix of other military applications. Why they make it onto Google Play or Apple store, I have no idea. Those cheap smart tv's from China are paying dividends.
- No surprise here: Scams of all kinds and all the other stuff we'd find in a Wild West period of a novel, lucrative tech.
