    All right, Grindcore, I'll bite.  You say you're making a lot of money off of Axie Infinity.  So just how much money do you think you've made?

    And I have another, related question:  how much money have you made off of Axie Infinity that has been transferred out of the game entirely and was either spent on something unrelated to the game or anything else cryptocurrency related or is stored in unrelated assets that have nothing to do with cryptocurrencies?  Conventional bank accounts, stocks, cash stashed under your mattress, already spent on rent or food or whatever can all count for this.  But I want to exclude money that is nominally yours but still inside of Axie Infinity or some other sort of cryptocurrency.
    Enough to quit my job and never have to worry about finances again. More in 1 month than anyone I know besides a few cryptpo traders. I won't go into the specifics but my life is pretty dope now. I cant find time to sleep because I never want to anymore lol. I feel like I always have something going on and something to learn when it comes to axie infinity. Its legit the most fun I have ever had but also I am not just talking about playing the game but also the market and breeding. I have always loved auction houses and this games auction house is the best.

    I am not an expert, but I am a professional axie player. I can't tell you much about how crypto works but its definitely worth learning about. I am fresh into it all but its already changed my life forever. Dont go dumping money into every block chain game, there is definitely some bad ones. However learn about axie, its pretty insane. One day there will be free to play and an MMORPG Metaverse, its far away because server instability has been a big issue with such explosive growth. Just give it a look.
    First, don't give up on sleep.  Don't give up on any other basic requirements needed for your survival.  The only things that I can think of that justify going substantially short on sleep for an extended period of time are taking care of a baby or fighting in a war, and even then, you should try to get what sleep you can.

    Second, is the money that you think you're making sitting in real assets, such as a conventional bank account?  Or is it just paper profits of what you think you can sell your stuff for still sitting inside of Axie Infinity?  If the latter, then you're probably involved in a Ponzi scheme of some sort, and really should cash out immediately.

    Third, games can't literally print money, or at least not money that exists in real life and outside of the game.  Money transferred to one player has to come from another.  If you're making really a lot of money, it's probably taking really a lot of other players putting money into the system to make that possible.  Unless you've got some plausible justification for why really a lot of players would want to pay money to you in particular and not make money themselves, your perceived profits are likely to be illusory.  Ponzi schemes cook up creative ways to try to make it look like a lot of people are making a lot of money at the same time, but then fall apart when people try to take their money out of the system.

    Again, if the money that you think you've made off of Axie Infinity is sitting in the bank, then you might be fine, though even then, you shouldn't be too shocked if law enforcement shows up and tries to claw it back to help out people who were scammed.  But if your profits are just assets sitting inside of the game, then you're probably not making the money that you think you are.

    For what it's worth, I got through the captcha to look at the game's web site.  It shouldn't be too surprising that the site is all about people making money off of playing the game.  The only two links on the top bar that look like they talk about game mechanics as opposed to making money off the game are the "battle" and "land" links, and those both just go to a page that says "coming soon".  If there's a game part of the game, the company behind it sure doesn't want to tell you about it.

    Block Chain, and NFTs are the crux. Saying Entropia is the same thing without those, is a complete false equivalency. Secure contracts and the ability to access a ledger is huge for gaming when cheating is RUINING EVERY COMPETITIVE GAME.


    So do you have evidence that players are losing money they could be making in Entropia because they don't use blockchains? Any example would be fine.

    I'm sure I would have heard about it if there were a major scandal due to cheating,

    You sound like a used car salesman playing up the alleged huge advantages of the V8 junker you're trying to sell.

    I'm not buying what you're selling. The new blockchain crypto games are nothing more than Entropia with woowoo and a shiny sales pitch. False equivalency my ass.

    I suspect it's more a rusty VW Thing with a terrible customization job.



    Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.
