Wow. This has been an interesting week. Axie Infinity, Decentraland, and League of Kingdoms all had their moment in the spotlight for all kinds of different reasons. At its peak you could earn almost 10 dollars per hour while playing Axie Infinity! Crazy. In addition I’ve been working on ways to promote blockchain games and introduce people into new projects. That’s why I’m building the Play to Earn Arcade inside Cryptovoxels. Maybe in the future there will be actual games?

Driven by hype among users of the 4Chan forum, the price of Small Love Potions for the battle game Axie Infinity got an unbelievable boost. The value of the token peaked at $0.23, but after that it dropped again. Right now one SLP is worth $0.04, which is still 1000% up from its $0.0036 price one week ago. Players keep earning SLP by playing the game, and therefore SLP isn’t a really good investment token. It’s utility token, and players use SLP to create new Axies. Anyway, there’ve been two articles about this hype. (see below)

Small Love Potions from Axie Infinity Up 1377%

The ERC-20 token SLP, which is used the breed little creatures for the game Axie Infinity, suddenly increased its value tenfold. This has nothing to do with gamers playing the game, but with speculation and trading. ▶▶▶ Read more
