Channel: Mark Tilbury

hi guys it's mark so crypto gaming is
[2]
currently one of the hottest investments
[4]
out there as it seems to be making early
[6]
buyers millions of dollars with eye
[8]
watering 1 000 returns i can't escape it
[11]
now my instagram's back up and running
[13]
as many of you have been sending me dms
[15]
asking how to invest in crypto games
[18]
even though this looks like an amazing
[19]
opportunity are these crazy returns
[22]
actually realistic or are people just
[24]
selling you a dream it's certainly hard
[26]
to know who you can trust as many
[27]
influencers are being paid to promote
[29]
certain coins or just making videos with
[32]
the sole purpose of trying to pump
[34]
cryptos that they already own so today i
[36]
want to take an unbiased look at the
[38]
hottest crypto games give you an idea of
[40]
what it's all about and explain how you
[42]
can use this information to make some
[44]
money just to make it clear i'm not
[47]
promoting any of these coins or being
[49]
compensated by them in any way so you
[51]
can just sit back and relax because i'm
[53]
not selling you anything this is a topic
[55]
that i'm genuinely interested in even as
[58]
a traditional investor that's a kind way
[60]
of saying i'm a boomer i've been
[62]
researching lots of games and i've
[63]
narrowed it down to six i find really
[66]
interesting as always i think it's
[68]
important to put my money where my mouth
[70]
is so i've decided to bring back the
[72]
wheel of fortune and i've placed
[74]
different amounts on it ranging from a
[75]
hundred dollars to five thousand dollars
[78]
after talking about each crypto gaming
[80]
coin i'm going to give it a spin and
[82]
invest whatever amount it lands on we're
[85]
only going to be talking about the facts
[86]
so you can make up your own mind without
[88]
being misled by the pump and dumpers
[90]
also to make this interesting as we move
[92]
through the different crypto games they
[94]
are going to get less well known
[96]
therefore they could be seen as riskier
[98]
but have a higher potential reward none
[101]
of this should be considered financial
[102]
advice i'm just keen to discover whether
[104]
these games are genuine investments or
[106]
just glorified gambling so let's get
[109]
right into this after yes smash that
[111]
like button for the youtube algorithm
[113]
first let's talk about axi infinity as
[115]
it's currently one of the most popular
[117]
crypto games on the market it's seen
[119]
explosive growth over 2021 going from
[122]
just 38 000 users per day in april to
[126]
over 2 million daily users now this fast
[129]
growth could give it an advantage over
[130]
other crypto games as players have
[132]
already invested their money within the
[134]
game and therefore i'd imagine they're
[136]
less likely to jump to new games when
[138]
they're released the axiomfinity
[140]
cryptocoin has seen an over 100 000
[143]
return since it was created meaning if
[146]
you invested just a hundred dollars back
[148]
on the 6th of november 2020 then now you
[151]
would have over
[155]
hundred 106
[155]
fifty eight dollars however it was more
[157]
than this but it's recently dipped from
[159]
all-time highs but mark all i want to
[161]
know is should i invest well first and
[164]
foremost it actually has to be a fun
[166]
game to play the aim of the game is to
[168]
collect digital pets which you can raise
[170]
and even battle these are called axes
[172]
something that i find interesting is
[174]
that each axi is a unique nft that can
[177]
be bought and sold i mean let's address
[179]
the elephant in the room axi infinity is
[182]
clearly heavily inspired by pokemon but
[184]
i see this as a good thing as even i got
[186]
drawn into playing pokemon go with my
[189]
son back in the day i'm not going to lie
[191]
nfts used to be a bit of a mystery to me
[193]
i just couldn't understand why people
[195]
would want to buy a jpeg when they could
[197]
just take a screenshot instead however i
[200]
completely understand it within a game
[202]
like axi infinity this is because the
[204]
nfts have an actual purpose inside the
[206]
game other than hopefully just
[208]
increasing value there is also a rule
[210]
that players must have three axes in
[212]
order to play this is a good way to keep
[214]
the demand high for these digital pets
[217]
having a good concept is important but
[218]
having a team that can pull this off is
[221]
really crucial the team behind axey
[223]
infinity is a vietnam based company
[225]
called sky mavis founded in
[227]
2018 they don't seem to have any
[230]
experience creating big games before
[232]
however they are keeping on track with
[234]
their road map and the ceo is no
[236]
stranger to running a business and
[237]
raising capital so judging by this if a
[240]
boomer like me can wrap my head around
[242]
this then the game seems quite simple
[244]
and easy to pick up it also has clear
[246]
goals for the players and a reason to
[248]
buy the nfts and coins like most crypto
[251]
games the more you play and contribute
[253]
the more rewards you can earn one thing
[255]
that might hold axe infinity back from
[256]
mass adoption is the complex setup which
[259]
involves connecting your crypto wallets
[261]
most people probably don't understand
[263]
how to do this however the game is still
[265]
growing at a fast rate so it doesn't
[267]
seem to be causing them any problems so
[269]
let's spin the wheel and see how much
[270]
we're going to be investing
[272]
[Music]
[279]
250 dollars it seems like we're starting
[281]
off slow i'm going to buy some axe
[283]
infinity shards on coinbase this crypto
[286]
represents a slice of the axi world this
[288]
is sort of like
[290]
buying a stock talking about stocks
[292]
public are currently giving away a free
[294]
stock worth all the way up to a thousand
[296]
dollars if you live in the usa and free
[298]
trade are giving away a free stock worth
[300]
all the way up to 200 pounds if you live
[302]
in the uk i'll leave those links in the
[304]
description below next up is
[305]
decentraland the second biggest crypto
[308]
game on my list you've probably heard
[310]
the term metaverse being mentioned a lot
[312]
recently it's the latest craze and even
[315]
i've made a video all about it it's
[316]
essentially the idea that there is going
[318]
to be a digital version of our world
[320]
where we can interact work and play
[322]
excitement surrounding the metaverse is
[324]
surging lately probably due to my last
[326]
video about it and maybe partially due
[329]
to a small company known as facebook
[331]
changing their name to meta this all
[333]
seems to be driving the valuation of
[335]
decentraland's token higher and higher
[337]
to the moon baby decentraland's name
[340]
pretty much explains the concept the
[342]
first part refers to its decentralized
[344]
nature which means that it's not
[346]
controlled by one person or company the
[349]
last part is referring to the digital
[350]
land you can buy and sell decentra land
[354]
it's quite clever isn't it i like the
[356]
sound of the centuryland because it's
[357]
like virtual real estate and my real
[359]
estate investments have been very
[361]
profitable over the years there are 90
[364]
601 plots of land which are actually
[367]
nfts which means each land token cannot
[369]
be replicated and is completely unique
[372]
this gives the players the ability to
[374]
own develop and rent out their virtual
[376]
land as well as interacting with areas
[378]
and things other players have made right
[380]
so who's visiting the tilbury estate
[382]
then the game also allows players to
[384]
make art play games and even list
[386]
virtual events this is all fueled by the
[388]
game's own cryptocurrency called mana
[391]
i've even heard of players building
[392]
casinos on their land and getting people
[394]
to gamble in them it's just crazy stuff
[396]
the team behind decentraland are
[398]
seasoned blockchain engineers
[400]
experienced venture capitalists and
[402]
silicon valley data analysts once again
[405]
it doesn't seem like they've worked on
[406]
any aaa rated games but they certainly
[409]
seem to have some credibility so as i've
[411]
mentioned mana is the crypto that fuels
[413]
decentraland so that's what i'm going to
[414]
be spinning the will and investing in
[424]
so that's 500
[426]
mana has been performing great over the
[428]
last year with one major pump in october
[430]
causing it to jump from one dollar to
[432]
nearly five dollars in one day this one
[434]
is pretty easy to invest in because it's
[436]
on coinbase there you go all done
[438]
talking about coinbase they're actually
[440]
currently giving away 10 worth of free
[443]
bitcoin to my viewers this is only for a
[445]
limited time so i'll leave the link in
[447]
the description if you want to pick that
[448]
up next on my list we have sandbox which
[451]
has recently been growing in popularity
[453]
it has been creating a bit of a buzz
[455]
lately with some people thinking it
[456]
could be the next shiba inu or dogecoin
[459]
sandbox is a virtual world built on the
[461]
ethereum blockchain very similar to
[463]
decentraland where players can build and
[465]
monetize their experience using nfts and
[467]
their token you guessed it sand players
[470]
can create in-game assets trade them on
[472]
the marketplace and also create games of
[475]
course it's a bit more complicated than
[477]
this but that's the concept i think the
[479]
artwork in this game looks really cool
[481]
especially the dragons they just copy
[483]
and pasted deborah mead and they didn't
[485]
need to change your thing just a little
[486]
bit of extra fire you know i love you
[488]
deborah it may surprise you the sandbox
[490]
isn't actually new it's been around
[492]
since 2012 on mobile devices and was a
[495]
relatively small game with 1 million
[497]
active users from 2012 to 2016. but
[500]
recently with the excitement around
[502]
virtual reality they've managed to raise
[505]
93 million dollars to grow the sandbox
[508]
metaverse but what i think is even more
[510]
interesting is that they aren't just
[511]
putting that money into building the
[513]
game they seem to have also allocated a
[515]
large budget to promotion just the other
[517]
day i was watching a mike malak vlog and
[520]
out of the blue he started advertising
[522]
it something positive i discovered is
[524]
that the ceo of sandbox is not new to
[526]
this space and has been in the business
[528]
since 2000 he's also been involved in
[530]
many other companies over the years and
[532]
even sold two software businesses other
[534]
team members have multiple years in
[536]
blockchain technology and tens of years
[538]
in mobile tech and gaming in general so
[540]
it seems like they know what they're
[542]
doing however there is a lot of
[543]
competition rising in the metaverse
[545]
space so they're going to need a lot of
[547]
promotion to keep growing so let's spin
[549]
the wheel and invest
[552]
[Music]
[555]
5 000
[557]
that's the biggest one yet and we're
[558]
going to be buying it on kraken this
[560]
coin is around its all-time high so i do
[562]
feel a bit nervous going into this
[564]
because i always like picking up
[565]
investments at bargain prices but who
[568]
knows this may turn into a bargain as
[570]
crypto gaming is exploding at the moment
[572]
next up we have the fourth biggest on my
[574]
list engine coin i think we can all
[576]
agree that crypto gaming is a bit of a
[578]
gold rush at the moment people are
[580]
digging around everywhere looking for
[582]
the next coin that will hopefully make
[584]
them rich but it's not just the gold
[586]
miners that profit from the gold rush
[588]
it's also the people selling the shovels
[590]
and the pickaxes that's why engine coin
[592]
looks so promising as it allows game
[594]
developers to create nft gaming items
[597]
with the other games in the list there
[598]
is always a high potential that it will
[600]
flop and your investment may decrease in
[603]
value however with engine coin the games
[605]
that use it to build their nfts can flop
[607]
an engine will still benefit just think
[609]
about how many people are trying to
[611]
create crypto games the market is huge
[614]
take businesses like amazon and ebay
[616]
they make money from people selling on
[618]
their platform these types of businesses
[620]
typically work really well i would
[622]
imagine that creating a crypto game is
[624]
really difficult not only have you got
[626]
the typical complications of creating a
[628]
game but you've also got the blockchain
[630]
technology making things complicated so
[632]
i think that's why engine coin is really
[634]
useful as it solves some of these issues
[636]
it could also help existing games
[638]
integrate a crypto aspect let's take
[640]
minecraft for example you may just think
[642]
of it as a simple building game with
[644]
annoying creepers but it's become so
[646]
much more than that people now have
[648]
custom servers where you can play all
[650]
sorts of different game modes with
[651]
people from all around the world while
[653]
playing in these servers you can earn
[655]
in-game items this is cool and all but
[657]
what if they could become nfts oh wait
[660]
they have microsoft and engine coin have
[662]
already made this happen earlier this
[664]
year thanks to the help of an engine
[666]
plug-in that now allows minecraft to
[668]
support nfts and crypto minecraft is a
[671]
pretty big game with over 140 million
[674]
monthly users so it's awesome to see
[676]
them adopting something like this just
[678]
think if engine coin can make it so easy
[680]
to do how long will it be before other
[682]
games follow in their footsteps engines
[684]
say they are a fully distributed team
[686]
spread across five continents and 20
[688]
different countries unified by a mission
[690]
to build futuristic world-class products
[693]
the team does look quite impressive as
[695]
well with some core team members having
[697]
over 10 years experience in software
[699]
development this has led to engine
[701]
creating over 1 billion digital assets
[704]
since 2009 so let's spin the wheel and
[706]
find out how much i'm investing in
[708]
engine coin
[713]
[Music]
[716]
one thousand dollars i knew it had to
[718]
come up eventually looking at the chart
[720]
here the only drawback i can see is the
[722]
price is quite high but
[724]
anyway there we go i think there is
[726]
still growth to come and no one really
[728]
knows what will happen next on my list
[730]
is alluvium you could say this is
[732]
getting a little bit more risky now as
[733]
we're going into the less popular games
[735]
but many nft experts believe that
[737]
alluvium is a good investment to make in
[739]
the current crypto market because of its
[742]
huge growth potential the game is
[744]
quickly gaining popularity amongst
[746]
crypto gaming fans especially after
[748]
releasing their latest promo video and i
[751]
have to say the game artwork looks
[753]
absolutely amazing but mark what exactly
[756]
is eluvium the concept of eluvium is
[758]
that you play as a hunter from space
[760]
that crashes on an alien planet with
[763]
loads of creatures and have to explore
[765]
in order to find out what happened and
[767]
what these creatures are it sounds just
[769]
like a much more complex version of
[771]
pokemon eluvium is built on the ethereum
[773]
blockchain and will be a free-to-play
[775]
game no membership or crypto will be
[778]
required to play what makes illuvium
[780]
different from the other games is it
[781]
really does look like a triple a game
[783]
the graphics look absolutely amazing and
[786]
they do claim it will be polished in all
[788]
areas which sounds awesome if they
[790]
actually deliver but games like this are
[792]
extremely hard to make so it's important
[794]
to pay close attention to the team
[795]
behind it so i've done a bit of digging
[797]
into the team at elluvium and i have to
[799]
say it looks pretty good of course with
[801]
any crypto project it's important to be
[803]
skeptical but the team at eluvium have
[805]
worked on projects like the last of us
[808]
and rise of the tomb raider their
[810]
animators have worked on projects like
[812]
transformers avengers guardians of the
[814]
galaxy godzilla and ready player one
[817]
maybe that's why the game looks so good
[820]
the eluvian game is set to release in
[821]
2022 but that doesn't mean the alluvium
[824]
crypto coin isn't already going
[826]
absolutely bonkers it makes me wish i'd
[828]
made this video a year ago i'm not going
[830]
to be diving any deeper into this game
[832]
as it's not out yet and i don't want to
[834]
speculate but there is certainly a lot
[836]
of hype for elluvium so let's spin the
[838]
wheel and see how it goes
[847]
five hundred dollars i first got to use
[849]
some of my ethereum in my metamask
[851]
wallet and then go to sushi swap and
[854]
change my ethereum into elluvium coin
[856]
there you go all done lastly we have
[859]
star atlas which is the smallest game on
[861]
my list a lot like alluvium this has a
[863]
lot of growth potential as the game
[865]
isn't actually out yet but there is of
[867]
course more risk involved for the
[869]
investors the star atlas game is going
[871]
to be based in the future the year 2620
[874]
to be exact it will have three factions
[876]
the aliens the androids and the humans
[879]
they claim the game will have a cinema
[881]
quality real-time environment in essence
[883]
it's a strategy game focus on
[885]
exploration role playing and space
[887]
flight simulation they say this game
[889]
will have the option to be played in
[891]
first person third person and even vr
[894]
which sounds absolutely awesome i love a
[896]
bit of star wars so i wouldn't mind some
[898]
virtual reality space travel that's for
[900]
sure i have to say in terms of graphics
[902]
and gameplay alluvium and star atlas
[905]
look the best but they're not out yet
[907]
and it's very common for crypto gaming
[909]
projects to promise the world so the big
[911]
question is will they actually deliver
[913]
well they do have a pretty big team many
[915]
members have been in the business for a
[917]
while and some even have a history at
[919]
the big video game development company
[922]
ee sports so this does give me a bit
[924]
more faith in their abilities to deliver
[926]
on their promises something that caught
[928]
my eye is that the game is actually
[930]
built on the solana blockchain which is
[932]
different to all the other games solana
[934]
is a rapidly growing coin and i'm
[936]
hearing about it more and more according
[938]
to its developers solana is the fastest
[940]
blockchain in the world capable of
[942]
processing over 50 000 transactions per
[945]
second compared to ethereum's 15 or less
[948]
solana's massive transaction capacity
[951]
means more apps and games will be able
[953]
to run at the same time without slowing
[954]
down this could offer an advantage to
[956]
star atlas over the other crypto games
[959]
star atlas isn't currently at all-time
[961]
highs unlike many of the other games
[963]
we've mentioned but remember i'm
[965]
investing money that i can afford to
[967]
lose so with that said let's spin the
[969]
wheel
[973]
[Music]
[977]
250 dollars because this is a bit more
[979]
of a complicated process let's hop on
[982]
the computer so in order to buy star
[984]
atlas i had to go on this website called
[986]
ftx and then put in my 250 there we go
[989]
all bolts investing in these crypto
[991]
coins has been an eye-opening experience
[993]
for me although i do believe that crypto
[995]
gaming is the future i also acknowledge
[997]
that there are a lot of hurdles that
[999]
need to be jumped before these games get
[1000]
adopted on a mass scale firstly as i
[1003]
found out investing in some of these
[1004]
coins is difficult maybe that's just
[1006]
because i'm a boomer but it involves a
[1008]
lot of different tools and websites and
[1010]
i think the majority of people will just
[1012]
give up before investing secondly they
[1014]
aren't currently comparable to big title
[1017]
games so i can see it being hard for
[1019]
them to break into the mainstream of
[1021]
course as teams keep working on the
[1022]
games they will improve but there is a
[1024]
long way to go let me know if you'd like
[1026]
me to make a future video in which i
[1028]
update you on how these investments are
[1030]
doing in the comment section below so
[1032]
i'm going to leave the next video right
