+$2,000/mo Playing Crypto Games — The Play-To-Earn Revolution is Here
NFT & Blockchain gaming are replacing traditional jobs
I recently came across an article of a 31-year-old in the Philipines who gave up his job selling rice feed to poultry farmers for a job playing a blockchain-based game on his smartphone.
According to this interview, the 31-year-old only plays an hour a day and is now earning about $2,000 per month — about double what he was earning selling rice.
This is a feel-good story of a young man who was struggling to make ends meet while trying to take care of his 82-year old grandmother. He turned to the blockchain-based game Axie Infinity where players can earn tokens and then cash those tokens out into local currency.
According to the article, this young man is just one of the many individuals in Southern Asia who have turned to blockchain gaming to earn their living.
What is ‘Axie Infinity’?
Axie Infinity is a battle video game that allows participants to collect, breed, raise, and battle creatures known as “axies”. These creatures (axies) are digitized NFT and players can buy, sell, and trade them. As of June 2021, over $42 million in these NFT sales took place.
