Bear markets are often when long-term traders make their big moves - assets that seem to stabilize or even do well (MANA, MKR in the last few days) often show that a project has dedicated supporters and some legs to stand on during the "tough times". It's easy to make money during bull runs, but it's the projects that survive during bear markets that often lead to...
The metaverse (Decentraland especially) has a lot of hype behind it but the utility aspects of it is still underbuilt in its current form. Will it eventually get there? A look at a few things being worked on in the background during this bear market.
Decentraland recently released its beta version of the desktop client - how does it look in its current state?
From egamers.io:
"Players will now experience performance enhancement upgrades with cleaner graphics, faster processing speeds, and improved stability by adding the client’s option.
The client is only available for Windows in beta, with the developers...
The metaverse market as a whole has been down for the last 3 months as we plod through this crypto "winter" - though it's worth noting that Decentraland is slowly closing the gap to Sandbox after its surge last year. But one trend in particular here sticks out -- the emergence of Decentral Games ($DG) coin, which is a project that focuses on casino-style...
A quick look at the new Onyx Lounge by JP Morgan in Decentraland (MANA) and where the existing economic activities in the metaverse are. (It might not be what you think.)
Decentraland (MANA) has recently added royalties payments to their wearables market -- it might seem like a small thing right now, but testing out economies in "for fun", low-risk products like avatars pave the way towards more serious applications like NFTs, copyright, and asset markets later on.
Right now, the crypto community is still unlearning the bad habits...
The recent downturn in the crypto market has people feeling down, but here's why bear markets are actually the best times to DYOR.
Projects (especially smaller ones) that "bounce back" during downturns (even if it doesn't immediately get back to its ATH) is usually an indicator of resilience and project viability. It's easy to get caught up in the FOMO and the...
Are we in a bubble? Probably. But which is really in a bubble right now? Crypto/NFTs/Metaverse assets, or the housing market in the "real" world?
What is "real", anyway? And is the listing prices you see in real-estate really accurate right now? A closer look at the real vs virtual-world asset races.
At the end of every year, I usually write a predictions article for macro-level trends I expect to happen over the next year. 22' is the wildest one so far, even for me.
The three pillars: economics (#crypto) - politics (#inflation) - culture (#NFTs)

A little while ago I argued that virtual estate and real estate were inversely correlated -- as seen in the Evergrande example in China where Evergrande stock and MANA coin criss-crossed each other in terms of its ROI. It's yet to be seen how this will play out in the US real estate market but it seems likely that we'll start to see similar patterns emerge as time...
Evergrande defaulting didn't have a negative impact on the metaverse coins like $SAND and $MANA -- but the US real-estate market may be next. What are the likely outcomes?
Play-to-earn games have been gaining a lot of traction lately, but how it does fit into the "metaverse" and its upcoming growth trajectories? An underlying trend worth looking at, imo.
