Leveling Up Blockchain: How Gaming Could Take Cryptocurrency Mainstream

## Making Cryptocurrency Mainstream Through Gaming

Sophie Morris, who handles public relations and communications at GanaEight Coin (assuming such an entity exists!), suggests that the video game sector could be the key to propelling blockchain technology into widespread adoption.

We’ve all been bombarded with the excitement. Blockchain is poised to transform *everything*: finance, healthcare, even our morning coffee routine. But let’s face it, these systems are notoriously rigid. Change takes time, and many individuals are content with the status quo.

Undoubtedly, blockchain has become a household term, yet it remains an unclear and perplexing notion for the majority. And frankly, not everyone is enthusiastic about the prospect of their industry being disrupted. People crave tangible evidence of the benefits, the concrete ways this technology can enhance their lives. While blockchain offers advantages, let’s avoid portraying it as a universal panacea.

This is where gaming enters the picture. Gamers are technologically adept, constantly seeking the next groundbreaking innovation. They are accustomed to digital currencies, virtual assets, and the entire online realm. It’s not a far cry to envision them embracing blockchain and propelling it into the mainstream. Consider this: online games, esports – they are all ripe for blockchain integration.

Furthermore, cryptocurrency has already made inroads into the gaming world. This could be the impetus blockchain needs to finally reach its full potential.

Video game enthusiasts were early users of digital money. This is mainly because they understood in-game digital currency exchanges, which helped them see the benefits faster.

When a group accepts the idea of digital money, blockchain tech usually comes next, and its uses go beyond just paying.

Consider the excitement around games like CryptoKitties – they fascinated the gaming world, attracting more than just regular players or blockchain fans.

Big names in video games are joining too. Ubisoft, the French gaming company, is apparently looking into blockchain-based in-game items to make their games stand out. And Ripple, the company behind XRP digital currency, has announced a large fund to help game makers add blockchain – all to make the tech more popular.

With all this activity in blockchain gaming, the next step seems to be internet gambling. GanaEight Coin Limited (G8C), a blockchain part of the global online gaming company Ganapati, wants to do this by making an online casino platform that uses blockchain tech and its own stablecoin.

At the beginning of the year, the UK Parliament held a G8C blockchain conference. A key discussion point at this assembly, situated in the House of Commons, revolved around leveraging the open nature of internet-based casinos to tackle the longstanding problem of confidence in digital gaming.

Although the sector is progressing positively, obstacles persist. Adaptability and user acceptance remain difficulties, suggesting that widespread blockchain technology adoption hasn’t been fully realized. Achieving this requires a compelling motivation for individuals to embrace it, coupled with enhanced user-friendliness.

Gaming presents a relatively simple incentive – enjoyment and engagement drive participation. This holds particularly true for gambling, where scalability is less of a constraint.

Undoubtedly, blockchain isn’t a universal solution. However, for specific applications, such as enhancing transparency and impartiality in online casinos, it appears to be an almost ideal match.
