The next strong point to consider in order for a web3 gaming resurgence to happen, would be the sheer quality of games from web2 studios.
GTA6, COD modern warfare, Arc raiders etc. These are gaming brands with insane playerbases and brand loyalty
Competing would be genuinely tough and will take lots of effort/word of mouth.
if we are to revive web3 gaming, we gonna do it through learning from the past
we will neither say just fun, nor just rewards, nor we will be about giving a bunch of people paid deals so they make written content about us
we will rise through the clips, because people really wanna share it, we will ease the path to shareable content through attention to certain details, people will know there will be a web3 economy, ownership, but most important a game that can onboard gamers from outside of this place
because for a great game, and web3 parts to rise you really want a growing player base, and that won't come from a 3 day ponzi
if you're a web3 gaming creator simply clip more, share your clips not just on X but also in other platforms, that's how we will regain the attention
and then sprinkle what web3 offers on top of that, that's the way this space will expand once again

Let's take a minute to acknowledge how fed up the builders that had to learn software engineering for 2 years+ would be right now, because AI can do exactly what they do but at $0 cost and in just under 24 hours if the prompt is good.
I say this because I am one of those builders and I'm mad as hell.

I think it's common knowledge now that having holders alone isn't enough
Holding isn't enough because every tradeable asset typically needs a revolving door of net new buyers in order to continuously go up in value overtime.
NFTs aren't excluded here
I have to say this.
No matter the "quality" of wallets you distribute whitelists to, if there are no reasons to hold, people will eventually sell. Doesn't matter first day or 5-100 days after.
Founders these days worry more about sellers than focus on bringing in the right buyers.
Eventually, without sales, volume will be 0, which itself is net negative.
Build value.
Give holders reasons to hold.
Give collectors reasons to collect.
Your collection will find it's way back to the the right holders once jeeters are out.

We're entering a trust recession.
And it is 100% the fault of marketers.
Here's what every market maturing cycle looks like.
Stage 1: Make a claim.
When the market is relatively young, all you need to do is make a claim that sounds reasonable to stand out.
Example: How to lose weight.
Stage 2: Make a bigger claim.
Here, the market has become slightly more competitive, and to stand out you need to make a bigger claim.
Example: How to lose weight in 30 days.
Stage 3: Introduce a mechanism.
At stage 3, the market has heard the same claim millions of times. So the way you stand out is by introducing a new mechanism.
Example: How to lose weight with keto.
Stage 4: Claim a bigger mechanism.
Here, even the mechanism has become saturated. To stand out, marketers have to make even bigger claims around the mechanism.
How to lose 30 pounds in 30 days with the carnivore diet.
At stage 4, the market is virtually saturated. And to stand out, marketers have to continuously make bigger and bigger claims only to stand out and get business.
Here's what ultimately happens, when everyone makes big claims, delivering on these big claims becomes incredibly difficult.
This results in customers getting burnt countless times.
The result? A Trust Recession.
For most markets, we're now at Stage 4. If you look around the timeline, you'll notice how launches need to be more and more clickbait, controversial, and hysteric, only to grab attention.
This is a byproduct of the market becoming more sophisticated.
And very soon, customers will tune out all claims.
They'd have heard "Replace your CMO with our AI agent" a billion times.
Nothing is new, everything feels the same.
If you're wondering why everything is now clickbait? This is why.

The core thesis of prediction markets here is to speculate on outcomes that people ALREADY care about.
That's just how it works
For Football teams, Olympics and other sports; bookies only exist because people care about what happens at the end.
I see the same thing happening for ALL games people care about very soon;
And we will lead this at METRO.🚄
Last night was special.
Election days just never get old for us at Polymarket. Watching regular people experience the beauty of market based forecasts as the results come in. How practically useful it is. How simple it is to interpret. When it clicks, it clicks.
It’s now routinely hours between when prediction markets call it versus the TV networks. The networks hold out until absolute certainty, and the suspense keeps it entertaining all night. No knock to them, but now there’s Polymarket, and many people are realizing they want to know what's happening in real time.
I know the industry has gained a mixed rap for a variety of reasons, many of which are criticisms with real merit. But I think I speak for both myself and my peers when I say we got into this because we really love the idea of markets being able to place a price on the future (e.g. Democrats had a 92% chance to take the House on Polymarket), and how that can help people better understand what's likely to happen and make decisions accordingly.
Our mission is to make sure we deliver on the promise of prediction markets, which was on full display last night. In the midst of so much noise around what we do, the American people get to see what Polymarket is really all about. Feels like one step closer to the dream. Onwards.

It's clearer than ever that AI made building products easy.
Therefore, the product isn’t the edge anymore.
It's the person behind it.
That’s why my biggest content bet going forward is video:
• Build-in-public
• Documentary style
• Yap videos
Moving forward, society won’t connect with a product.
They'll connect w/ the founder & the story that comes with it.

at this point after everything we’ve seen it’s f*cking obvious that prediction markets are the future of how we consume and interpret information
people are getting increasingly tired of traditional cable news. It’s slow outdated, boring and often completely disconnected from what’s actually happening in real time

Ngl the call-out FUD post by these guys generated much more engagement/interest and far exceeded the KOL-strategy they paid dollars for.
Lesson in there.
Crypto Twitter KOLs are a fucking scam. And we have the numbers to prove why.
We hired 200+ KOLs with 10M+ combined followers. Every single one had a 400+ Sorsa score and 100+ Smart Followers. Most had 1,000+ Sorsa.
200+ KOLs posted twice each.
Our result? 280 NFTs sold at $5.
Now let’s talk about this circus.
Fake views. Fake likes. AI-generated replies that don’t even understand what the project does. The same fucking accounts liking and replying to each other in engagement groups, recycling engagement and pretending they’re influential.
You have 200K followers but can’t prove you have actual buyers. You’re scared of referral deals because deep down you know nobody will click your links, buy anything or convert.
YOU HAVE BOTTED FOLLOWERS, NOT INFLUENCE.
And the funniest part? You genuinely think you’re marketing professionals. You’re a bunch of engagement farmers playing influencer, selling fake numbers to projects and calling it a career.
Our team tested this firsthand. We were ready to pay for influence, but got fucking nothing.
And you wonder why CT is dying? Why projects are cutting deals? Why marketing teams are moving to TikTok and Instagram?
BECAUSE NOBODY WANTS TO PAY FOR YOUR BULLSHIT ANYMORE.
Honestly, go work at McDonald’s. At least you’ll serve people something useful instead of selling projects fake engagement and pretending to be important.
200+ KOLs. 10M+ followers. 280 NFTs sold.
That’s your fucking influence.

Over $1 BILLION lost by Kalshi combo buyers, according to InGame. Market makers have earned roughly $520 million after fees.
One detail deserves more scrutiny: persistent account IDs let market makers recognize repeat bettors and decide whether to quote them.
Kalshi says “we never limit customers for winning.”
What’s that worth if market makers can track your account and stop quoting you once they realize you’re not a fish?
You risk ending up with professional firms selling overpriced parlays to the customers who will be financially ruined by these products.
The prediction market industry calls this “price discovery.”
States call it gambling.
As someone who “gambled” for 20+ years, I can assure you it’s gambling. And a particularly insidious form when you obscure how predatory it is by rebranding parlays as “combos” and betting as “trading.”
These sites can and should do better.
Kalshi parlay takers have now lost more than $1 billion since the feature launched last year, after a huge surge in popularity this football season, an InGame analysis shows.
Since parlays first became available in September 2025, Kalshi’s total volume on multi-leg trades has been $165.6 billion. Taker stakes — the closest equivalent to sportsbook handle — are $7.1 billion, and takers have lost $1.004 billion.

Parking capital in crypto; (DEFI) as a strategy is cooked
The siege we've seen on defi, Exchanges and crypto hacks in 2026 are a sign that keeping large sums of money onchain in order to run a business is getting unsustainable
The security situation in crypto CANNOT be fixed overnight.
Blockchain and hacks are similar to a typical "bread and mold" relationship
The solution here in the near term would be to use nimble and instant-settlement products onchain that allows users to hold little capital on these DeFi products.
Agents, predictions, gaming, consumer and social products fit this new paradigm.
The industry is changing and we must evolve with it.

Bars here by @0xdith btw. I've always said this
Building for ONLY the few people in crypto makes absolutely no sense, when;
1. They rarely fit your ICP (ideal customer profile)
2. They are high-spending (but cost you tons to acquire)
3. They are so few
4. They are largely unretainable except you're building a unicorn (Hyperliquid)
It's just not as +EV.
