Do you know what I love most about investing? The ability to look into the future, to try to imagine what the world will look like in five or ten years, and to bet my money on it. It's like science fiction, but with real stakes. And when I look at @YieldGuildGames and the entire GameFi industry, I see not just the current state of the market, but the exciting prospects of where all of this is heading. Today I want to share my thoughts on the future of gaming blockchain and the role that YGG will play in that future.
I open the chart $YGG and see a price of $0.0719 with a slight decrease of 0.55%. The trading volume is 4.83 million tokens in a day, about 350 thousand dollars. I look at these numbers and wonder what they will mean in three years? In five? Technical indicators show that we are trading below all moving averages – MA(7) at $0.0724, MA(25) at $0.0726, MA(99) at $0.0740. In the short term, this looks not very promising, but when thinking about the long-term perspective, these fluctuations seem just like noise. Because the future of GameFi is determined not by daily candles on the chart, but by fundamental changes in how people play, work, and interact in the digital space.
The first thing I see in the future of GameFi is mass adoption. Currently, blockchain games are still a niche topic. Most ordinary gamers have never even heard of play-to-earn, and NFTs in games sound complicated and incomprehensible to them. But I remember how ten years ago cryptocurrencies seemed marginal, and now everyone knows about Bitcoin. The same will happen with GameFi. When technology becomes simpler, when there is no need to deal with wallets, gas, blockchains – when everything works like a regular mobile app – then the real explosion of growth will begin.
YGG, I am sure, is preparing for this moment. Recently, YGG Play Launchpad was launched – find your favorite web3 games from YGG, complete quests, and gain access to new game tokens on the Launchpad. This is not just a platform for launching games; it is an infrastructure for the future where blockchain games will become as mainstream as mobile games are now. #YGGPlay is a bridge between the niche crypto community and billions of ordinary gamers who will enter this industry in the coming years.
I think that in the future, the play-to-earn model will transform into something more complex and sustainable. Currently, many games focus too much on earning, and as a result, the gaming experience suffers. People play not for pleasure but as a job. But I see new models emerging – play-and-earn, where earning is a nice bonus but not the only reason to play. Or play-to-own, where the focus is on real ownership of gaming assets that have value because you love them, not just because they can be sold.
I look at the trading volume on the chart – 50,712 tokens in the last hourly bar, which is quite low activity. MA(5) shows 161,757, which is significantly higher. The market is in a calm phase, without panic and without euphoria. It is during such moments that I like to think about long-term strategies. Because short-term traders are currently bored, while long-term investors are planning for years ahead.
One of the most interesting trends I see is the integration of GameFi with traditional games. Imagine major gaming studios like Ubisoft, EA, or Epic Games starting to massively implement blockchain elements into their games. These won't necessarily be pure blockchain games, but hybrid models where part of the economy operates on-chain. You play a regular AAA game with stunning graphics and gameplay, but your achievements, skins, items are real NFTs that you own. YGG could become the bridge that connects traditional gaming with blockchain economy.
I also believe that the future lies in metaverses, but not in the form that they are currently presented. Current metaverses like Decentraland or The Sandbox are more like proof of concept, a demonstration of possibilities. But in the future, metaverses will become much more immersive, beautiful, and functional. Imagine a virtual world where you can work, study, have fun, meet friends, all with a complete economy where your labor and creativity have real value. YGG invests in virtual lands not because it's a hype, but because they see this long-term perspective.
Another trend that fascinates me is DAOs as a new form of labor organization. Right now, YGG is a gaming guild, but in the future, such organizations could become the norm for many industries. Imagine that instead of a traditional company with a CEO and managers, we have a DAO where decisions are made democratically, where profits are distributed fairly among all participants, and where there are no geographical boundaries. YGG shows how this can work on a scale of thousands of people around the world. This is a model for the future of labor organization.
I look at the chart and see how the price fluctuates in a narrow range between $0.0716 and $0.0735. The maximum in 24 hours was $0.0735, the minimum $0.0716, the current price $0.0719. The amplitude is only 2.7%, indicating consolidation. The purple long-term MA(99) is slowly decreasing towards the price. When they meet, this could become an important moment – either the price will bounce up and a new upward trend will begin, or it will break downward. But for someone who believes in the future of GameFi, these short-term movements are just opportunities for averaging their position.
In the future, I also see a change in the regulatory landscape. Currently, many governments do not know how to regulate GameFi – are these games or financial instruments? Is this entertainment or work? But over time, clear rules will emerge that will give legitimacy to the industry and protect users. I believe YGG will actively participate in shaping these rules, working with regulators to show that play-to-earn can be both profitable and socially responsible.
Technological advancements will also play a huge role. Currently, blockchain games often suffer from high fees, slow transactions, and poor scalability. But with the development of Layer 2 solutions, the emergence of more efficient blockchains, and improvements in user interfaces – all these problems will be solved. Playing a blockchain game will become as easy as downloading an app from the App Store. And when that happens, the barriers to entry will disappear, and millions of new players will enter the industry.
I believe that YGG is evolving from a gaming guild into something bigger – an ecosystem for the entire GameFi space. They are already moving in this direction with YGG Play Launchpad, various SubDAOs, and educational initiatives. In the future, YGG may become a platform where players find games, where developers receive funding and support, where investors find opportunities, where all ecosystem participants interact and create value together.
Another exciting prospect is the integration of artificial intelligence into GameFi. Imagine games where NPCs behave like real people thanks to AI, where generative algorithms create unique content for each player, where AI helps balance the gaming economy in real-time. This could completely change how we think about games. And YGG, as an organization that invests in the most advanced projects, will be at the center of this revolution.
I look at the volumes at the bottom of the chart and see a relatively calm picture – there are no mass purchases or panic sell-offs. Just stable trading. For me, this is a sign that the market is waiting for some catalyst – either good news that will raise the price or bad news that will lower it. But in the long term, the main catalyst is the development of the GameFi industry itself, and I am very optimistic about that.
Of course, not everything will go smoothly. There will be ups and downs, failed projects and scams, regulatory issues and technical failures. Bear markets will test every project’s resilience. But I believe that the strongest will survive, and YGG, with their well-thought-out strategy, strong team, and loyal community, has every chance not only to survive but to become one of the leaders in the industry in the future.
My forecast for the next 3-5 years? GameFi will become mainstream. Millions of people will earn through games not as their primary job, but as a significant additional income. Metaverses will become places where people spend a significant part of their time. Blockchain games will be as high-quality and beautiful as traditional AAA projects. And YGG will be one of the key organizations that made this possible. $YGG, which is currently trading around seven cents, could be worth significantly more when these predictions start to come true. But even if the price doesn't soar tomorrow or in a month, I am ready to wait. Because I invest not in numbers on a chart but in a vision of the future where games, work, and ownership of digital assets merge into a single ecosystem. And I believe that future is just around the corner.
