Hasbro, Sega & Emily Ratajkowski Getting into NFTs — Play to Earn #70

Furthermore, we talk about Axie Infinity, Ethermon, our own PLAY token and much more interesting blockchain gaming news!

Interesting developments happen all the time in the blockchain space, but sometimes we don’t seem to appreciate these moments. Ethermon has been around for 4 years already, evolving. Axie Infinity battled through the crypto winter, and is now ready to conquer the planet. Animoca and The Sandbox reward active participants, and lots of projects are ramping up for the next steps in their development. These are exciting times, and the interest of companies like Sega and Hasbro underlines that we’re on the right track. NFTs are here to stay, and they are more than just art. We look at it from a gaming perspective most of the time, while Emily Ratajkowski is making a serious statement through her first NFT drop. This industry is so incredibly diverse. It’s crazy!

🦔 Sega to Sell NFTs with Double Jump Tokyo

I’m not sure what Sega will do, but the fact that the company officially announced their move into the NFT segment stems me positive. Sure, their first NFTs might be a money grab.

🤣 Emily Ratajkowski Takes Revenge with NFT

There weren’t many stories this week that made me laugh, but photo model Emily Ratajkowski sure brought a smile to my face. Richard Prince is an artist whose artworks walk the thin line of copyright infringement. He used an Instagram post by Ratajkowski, made it bigger, and sold it for thousands of dollars. Now the model herself will sell an NFT in which she poses in front of the artwork made by Prince. That’s pure copyright inception! — Read more

Good news from TryRoll.com. It’s now possible to withdraw your PLAY tokens from their wallet to your own Metamask or other Ethereum wallet. You can find some PLAY purchases on OpenSea, and we will add more in the future. If you don’t have enough PLAY, you can claim some here, or start earning by reading news on Play to Earn Online Magazine or by becoming part of our team. Yes, I’m looking for writers, builders, community managers, and I plan to reward a mix of PLAY and stablecoins.
