belobaba investment gaming

While I was writing this article the market was in red. The announcement of IPC in the USA was the trigger.  This situation is not new in the crypto currency market in the last quarter and the bear market is still “alive”.  Big numbers of Blockchain Gaming  The last report of DappRadar Q3 2022, explains […]

The CPI sets the pace

Trading

As in previous months, the market is attentive to macro news, which is what is setting the pace and the evolution of prices. In our strategy, we used to focus on central bank meetings as reference news and some labor market data, as is the case of the NFP USA But this scenario has changed […]

Google is in-the-house

Social and institutional adoption are two of the most important drivers that can push the digital asset sector. In this case we have the adoption of a private institution, which can significantly feed other smaller companies and social adoption. Google has just partnered with Coinbase to accept cryptocurrency payment for its on-cloud services. That is a long-term strategic move for both of […]

Lessons learned from winter DeFi

There is a thought that has been shaking me for more than 2 decades about something that affects all Europeans directly and indirectly (although luckily for me less and less, thanks to the global environment where I move and work, which does not depend on an economy or a currency), since I cannot see from […]

How may I safely protect my capital? Part II

belobaba investments

The Fed intervenes in the markets in various ways. Now it is interesting to promise incentives: it encourages the purchase of bonds and debt because it ends up promising a higher return as a result of the increase in the percentage of reserves that must be kept in reserves, in addition to other policies that […]

SUSHI Analysis

belobaba trading

The first week of October is coming to an end without significant changes in the crypto market’s largest capitalization assets. $BTC started the week with a bullish move that took it to the top of the sideways channel it has been tracing for the last few weeks, but the resistance zone consolidated leaving a rebound […]

COSMOVERSE and the new power of ATOM 2.0

As much as I have been thinking about the price of the ATOM token for some time, I never found a reason for organic growth through the use or need of ATOM in its own network, something frightening for its viability and at least similar to what is a speculative bubble, so I moved away […]

How may I safely protect my money?

Now that inflation is evident, so is the damage to savings. If we don’t make our money work for us, we can buy less and less. Economists expect interest rates on deposits to rise, but my doubt as a financial adviser is whether these rises in nominal returns (without taking inflation into account) are going […]

September monthly overview

At the beginning of the month I commented that September is a historically bearish month for the crypto market and this pattern has been repeated in the largest capitalization tokens such as $BTC closing -6% and $ETH closing -16%. But this situation has been very different for other tokens that have had a very positive […]

Esports and Gamefi, good friends

Esports continue to focus on blockchain gaming At Belobaba, already for some time we have been talking about the relationship between blockchain gaming and esports. The first article was back at the beginning of this year, and in recent months there has been a lot of news about it, such as the agreement between Team Heretics and Ola GG, two important players in each of their sectors in the market. No hay texto alternativo para esta imagen But this does not stop here, since we are not only talking about games, but also about metaverses, in which we have already had news such as Team Heretics and Team Queso with the Outer Ring project, this month we learned about the agreement between Faze Clan and The Sandbox to create their "Faze World" in this metaverse. Teams seek to understand and test what is happening in the blockchain gaming ecosystem and are looking for allies in this sector to see new ways to create engagement with their fans and also new ways of monetization. Fans and followers of esports and video gamers are called to be standard bearers of the mass adoption of blockchain and cryptocurrencies. Not only because of the size of their community, let's not forget that fantastic figure that Newzoo told us that more than half of the population will be "gamers" in 2030, but also because it is a well-known "environment" of digital assets and remote interaction through blockchain and cryptocurrencies. But we must not forget that a large part of the gamers does not see with good eyes, to put it in a politically correct way, these incursions of their teams in this world. The affection that we see in the teams is well rewarded by many web3 world publishers, such as Sky Mavis, known for his game Axie Infinity, who have already set their eyes on esports and are promoting them in their community by giving grants for the creation and promotion of competitions in their game, as we saw at the Barcelona event.

It has partnered with seven esports organizations: Cloud9, Fnatic, NAVI, Ninjas in Pajamas, SK Gaming, T1, and Team Liquid. No hay texto alternativo para esta imagen It is clear that for the benefits that it can bring to both, either by having new sources of income in the case of equipment and in attracting the gamer community, which we must remember still has some reluctance to the world of blockchain. Let's not forget, as we said in the last article, that in the second quarter of 2022, gaming apps made up 52% of the activity in the blockchain ecosystem. This and the current market situation, make this moment a propitious time for alliances for a much stronger bear market exit and with synergies that have grown the associated projects. This is a vision that we share at Belobaba and we are working to expand our alliances and investments in the gaming area.
