I just watched the movie Ready Player One for the nth time yesterday and I still find myself glued to it from beginning to end. I found certain minor details that I didn't really noticed before when I viewed the movie earlier.
What caught my attention yesterday was that Gregarious games started the Oasis in 2025. Well that got me thinking that year would be 2 years from now and I thought about the nearest games nowadays that would closely resemble the Oasis and there isn't one yet.
I have recently dabbled with a couple of these play-to-earn games like Sandbox and Blankos recently as I wanted to learn by getting myself first hand experience about these crypto games. I wasn't able to play Sandbox at the time because I failed to get myself a game pass but I was able to play Blankos. I also tried buying a few ADAs and a few SOLs just to try stuff out.
Then suddenly all these cryptocurrencies fell like dominoes with the US government intervening and creating new laws to regulate them and it somehow killed off also most of the interest of the metaverse. Many who invested in NFTs lost money. Many of those crypto billionaires got pulled back to Earth. With all its technological advances and promises, it looked llike Warren Buffett was right about crypto and all other digital assets (ie NFTs) all along. It was fool's gold all along.
