$AXS!!!!!

There is no doubt, Axie Infinity is the hottest blockchain project right now, and $AXS are bucking the trend, despite BTC's influence.

Do you think its popularity is sustainable???


I started playing two months ago, and I've already made 10x returns just buying and selling pets.

Personally, I am not very optimistic about its sustainability, and I hope people pay attention to the risks.
In my opinion, the people who make the real money are the ones who participate when no one pay attention to it.


I am now focusing on Metamask Swap、dydx、Opyn、Paraswap、Polymarket、Zapper、Dharma、OpenSea、Zerion、DeFi Saver、Set Protocol and Shield DAO (have a clear reward plan), interactive now and have a chance to get airdrop in the future.

I'm playing near to one month and I've got my ROI already and the next pay days would definitely be profit. I think so far it's sustainable if they won't solve the server issues as soon as possible, this will make the game near becoming just another game although as long as there's an economy that's being maintained by the devs. It's an overwhelming challenge to them that they have to maintain the server lag-free and can cater to hundreds of thousands of players playing together and possibly soon they should open to cater to a million players. I'm waiting for more drops with its SLP and AXS.

Hope I know the true purpose of the game and the incentive model. That will help me determine whether it's sustainable long-term or not. And I believe a game should be safe and beneficial to people and society, otherwise it's simply creating problems rather than being a solution to problems

Been playing the game for almost 2 months already and I might say that its good and its sustainable at least for me.
There is a community behind it that are helping each other. The only problem right now is the server which is always overloaded and players find it very hard to play even only in the adventure. The developers are overwhelmed by how much players are playing it daily. Just imagine from having less than 50k players playing it daily to more than 500k daily users right now. Server issues will be solved for sure but it will take some time.

In terms of sustainability, the game is still on its alpha stage and they got this huge number of daily players. More features will be added in the future. The Land feature isn't even released and the AXS Staking isn't released yet. On the other hand, we have different opinions regarding the game and I believe on the game and its sustainability in the long run :)

I don't remember if you guys remember crypto kitties? at first it really looks good and cool, but then there comes lots of issues and I don't know what happen to it, but it seems the hype has died down.

But the main thing, for any project to be sustainable, there should be a support from the community. So currently, it is huge and getter bigger. I just regret though that I didn't right on the bandwagon early last year when it was just in the beginning stage, I could have profited a lot of money. But hey, it's not too late and the community is getting bigger. Not unless there's another huge one coming in the next several months to challenge Axie's, then I think it will be sustainable in my opinion.

Depends on the project. Right now they are having a lots of issues and errors, but if the game can be worked on and fixed these issues then its gonna be a good ecosystem. Some say this has a lot of risk, yes any crypto project have that but this one is quite different cause its a blockchain game related and all gamers that arent into it are jumping into the scene. I think axie can be sustainable somehow and plua the upcoming dex which i am looking forward too.

When this Axie Infinity rise up, the first game I remember is Crypto Kitties although I dont have a chance to play it. When I was starting to know about all of this crypto stuff and block chain technology I already think that Crypto industry will grow more faster if its being use in gaming, rewarding players to enjoy playing. Then this Axie Infinity came up and my theory is somehow came true.

Unfortunately I don't have funds to play that game. So I will take this opportunity to search someone who's willing to hire me as your scholar. I'm happy for 60/40 sharing.

Willing to provide Identity.
Thanks a lot

Ubisoft will bring Axie Infinity to mainstream, so it still might be quite early..

As of the moment, the devs are doing everything they can to make the game sustainable in the long run. Though there were a lot of issues from both the website and the game, but they kept on scaling the server up.

If you're asking about the "popularity's" sustainability, then I can say yes If the game maintains the good economic status.
Few of the most noticeable thing to notice when we're talking about the game's sustainability is the ability for the game to burn SLP's and soon Axies.

The scholarship along with the release of future features will keep this project up for a long term. More and more of the younger generations who we know as more addicted to games will switch to play to earn blockchain games sooner or later. Remember that many people are still suffering financially from the effects of the pandemic so additional sources of income will be supported.

The game in Axie Infinity is in demand by many users, moreover users can make money from playing the game. The server problem shows the high interest of Axie Infinity users, the team must fix it immediately, and need to prepare their servers, when AXIE has millions of users.
Should Axie Infinity be able to run for a long time, Axie already has a strong community, active developers, high trading volume and already trading on major exchanges.

In such rates I think it's not sustainable, because what we are currently seeing is a hype and as everyone knows hypes don't last forever. Once it finishes we will see a considerable fall in Axies stuff's prices. I'm not saying the game is going bankruptcy, but just that investors must be aware the ROI may take longer than they first imagined if they are unlucky to enter the game in the wrong moment.
However it's not possible to say when it's going to happen. It may take a long time or not. It will depend on how much adoption Axies Infinity will be able to get and if it's going to increase fast or slowly. As I see adoption is increasing surprisingly fast and servers are presenting constant issues due to this fact.

Considering the massive growth of Axie infinity these past few months and the effort exerted by the developers to ensure that the players will still be able to enjoy the game, I think its popularity will be sustainable in the future. I've seen lots of my friends who invested early gaining unbelievable amount of profits after playing the game and they were even able to extend their help towards our other friends. Axie is the most popular right now and the trend might last for a long while so do not waste opportunity if you were able to buy a team and earn lots of slp while holding.

Sustainable? Based on my 20+ years as a gamer, NO.

Video games have a low life span because people get easily bored. Yes, some games can last longer, for example CS, Dota, etc., but they have something in common, i.e., difficult, team play, and extremely competitive.

With "play to earn" mantra, people won't play if they cannot earn. And you think people can always earn without actually creating wealth?

Yeah, the server sucks because it's too unstable and hard to get into the game. The devs aren't prepared for its growth because it's a surprise to them.
They have never anticipated the growth of the game would reach certain hundreds of thousands in population and that's why they're quite slow in fixing it.
With all such words of encourage in their discord about giving some announcements and they're all doing their best to get a long term solution, I hope that this disappointment would really be ending up like that.

It's possible to mix a competitive gameplay with a play to earn feature. Take Runescape as an example. It's a mmorpg with a complex real time economy, with thousands of items, dozens of skills and hundreds of different activities. The game is alive since 2002 and it's still in the top 10 of most played mmorpgs in 2021.
The introduction of NFT and the end of real world trading ban would turn Runescape into a perfect play to earn game. Actually people already earn by playing it, but they have to do secretly and many are banned while trying, because the game doesn't allow such thing. It's a pitty developers don't allow people to do it legally. In fact it wouldn't harm the game in anyway.

But since real world trading isn't allowed there, the hope is that a new similar game appears featuring this possibility. That is why I like Lost Relics blockchain game concept. Although the game is being developed slowly and only by one man, the game would have potential if more people were hired to work on it and make content creation faster.

1.) $AXS staking. It's coming.
2.) Coinbase or Gemini exchange listing.
3.) DEX activation on Axie's Ronin side chain.
4.) Battles V2 upgrade

I also consider myself a gamer for 20+ years but I have to disagree with you.

You can't compare Axie to the usual "video games" as the mechanism of the game is very different. SLP, an in-game currency on the game does have a real use case and burning mechanism to balance the supply as it's infinite.

What makes those "video games" boring is because there's no benefit from playing them for long. I have already played several online and offline games since then, even paying for it, and some blockchain games, but I ended up bored playing in the long-yterm. Here in Axie, the play-to-earn feature is a good perks for people whether they are gamers or not that's why it is able to build a large community.

The only problem right now is the server capability but shouldn't be the biggest problem in the future. If it will sustain the popularity for the long term, if there's a word bigger than YES then I will use it.

I just heard this game a week ago and immediately found out how to play it on YouTube...

I think axie is too risky but many also say that this is a profitable game but the problem for me is the initial capital is quite large, maybe I will try to play when I get some money.

IMHO, Yes it is. Axie Infinity is one of the most potentially Blockchain-Gaming So far with tons features and solid community, You can see game mechanism on Axie Infinity and comparing it with the others, Axie Infinity is much better with active improvement, Even though it's always risky to invest on something especially Crypto, Axie Infinity is the best choice so far on the market if you seek for long term, Beside that you also can check DeHero, It's brand new DeFI & NFT Blockchain-Gaming Ecosystem developed by MixMarvel.

With 517K users, they have one of the worlds biggest Discord communities:

They weren't ready for the surge in players growing so fast, it might take a little while to improve, looks like nft is still looking good for now compared to expecting the various swaps in metamask as the bull season is almost gone

The reason why it went up so much in the last week was because it was heavily shorted. If you looked at Binance fees, it had negative funding in a strong bull rally, which is pretty rare. Usually in a bull market we get positive funding and in a bear market we get negative funding. But this was the opposite.

So what happened was people got very bearish and shorted it to the max, and as it kept rising and rising they all got short squeezed. And hence why we had these crazy double digits days for the last few weeks.

This is pretty much what happened with Doge earlier in the year. Everything was bearish and shorted it as much as they could and ended up having a huge short squeeze.

It will be much better and stay sustainable if the project team does always good progress and development on this. And of course, they really can realize their roadmap on schedule and also make the development very well, including solving more problems that may happen, it can be.
And also, the team should build strong fundamentals that will always make this coin survive and be accepted by many more communities.
But if it may not happen or decreased, it will be like other coins with its only hype for  amoment.

Im not playing it, but as explained by people whos playing it.
Its sustainable, as long as new comers comes around and buys a team.
Token farmed in the game is burned by breeding axies, then offspring axies could be sold to new comers. Correct me if im wrong, its pretty sustainable to me as long as newbies comes sufficiently.

That's a record that they've seen within this year and the transition was very quick and just only did for a few months.

It is easy to play. If you think that it's risky, that's okay because for every investment, there is a risk. And it's a fact that Axies became expensive lately due to the demand but if you got in earlier, you can buy cheap and strong Axies.

Axie is on the peak stage, for me, it is not the best time to invest in this game, wait for a good spot, axie will definitely slowly down in it's value, so that is the best time to buy. for today, find a good nft games like DPET, Cryptoblades and others.

This game is being hyped a lot in my Facebook news feed. Here in the Philippines, there are a lot of people going crazy about this and all those scholarships and stuffs are appearing almost everywhere. It is insane.
I am quite not moved from that though. I am not into hyped stuffs.

It certainly sustainable, remember that it has PVP where its competitive and could always make the game addictive to many players, therefore the fact that you can make money from the game isnt the only thing keeping people from getting bored by playing this game.
Maybe this game gonna keep its popularity on its peak for another 4 years or even longer if the team keep innovating in a right way it could become popular even longer

It is.
I think it's a stand-alone market which is pretty good.
It doesn't rely upon the market of the main cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum and their supporters and buyers are still going up. It's been so long but the hype won't just stop especially for Asian countries who had been making a lot of profits from this game. It might even go a long way if they could add more features in game.

this is not the hottest. when you build a solid project. investors will troop in. it is not difficult to fish out a good project. it depends on who want to research. AXS has been working hard behind the scene to develop their platform. the process is not easy and gradually, they are getting there. it is a matter of how long. i think the project is good and will be a top 10 crypto. sooner or later.

If the developers are aiming for more success, adding upddates and more ways to collect potions will allow players

to aim for more. With how hypes being carried lots of new gamers are moving to this game and they are bringing

real money inside the house, which is really attracting other people to make thier moves and start building their

journey.

I believe it is due to the main reason that developers are really into it and they are dedicated to what they are working. As long as people are playing and AXS and SLP are at good prices, this game will still be in hot spot. I even saw some projects coming with same logic as this game is and its bursting like a lightning fast.

This alongside the Land feature is what we've been waiting for.
This is also the reason why I said that the popularity of this game is very sustainable.

They are in the alpha stage still but here they are having 500k daily active users and have one of the most number of users in their discord channel. A stand-alone market, the number of players are still increasing daily, for sure this will be one of the best NFT games in the crypto space.

The only problem right now is their servers becoming unstable for 4 days already but I believe that it will be solved the only question is when.

Everything has a time and time as well as $AXS. maybe the choice when corrections occur every day a lot of traders follow the dominant and safety for investment returns. I'm sure if BTC can break through its resistance this will be another story to discuss. I'm sure coins with strong fundamentals will be the main choice.

Dpet has also increased its token's price. I have also heard cryptoblades but I can't play of them at the same time.

If I've got just a lot of time, I would be happy to play all of these NFT games but I've got to choose only one game and that's what I've found with Axie and its gameplay is very easy.

Yeah, it's only an opinion mate ;D

For me, I haven't seen any games with high initial investment can be successful as it won't give players the opportunity to try the game (onboarding problems). If they find the entry barrier is too high, they won't even go through "registration" or whatever the landing page. Second, the long-lasting games usually involve massive skills, not about getting IMBA items/monsters so you can win every time. The items are only for cosmetics/prestige, not increasing your in-game power. Oh, and play pay (edited) to win games are suck!

Cryptoblades looks more like a ponzi scheme. I've seen people saying they turned 100$ into 1500$ within a week and that is what probably created a lot of hype around it.
And actually, there isn't any gameplay in cryptoblades. It's just like an old browser rpg game with static images where you click and the battle's result and rewards are already displayed to you after few seconds. I risk saying that is impossible someone has legit interest for that kind of game. People said it's possible to start this game investing 45$ and it's really tempting to imagine you could turn it into at least few hundred dollars after a week or a little bit more. When things look too good to be true, they are definitely not a good idea...

Many people enjoy the game in Axie Infinity, and users can even earn money while playing it. Because the server problem demonstrates the tremendous level of interest among Axie Infinity users, the team must resolve it soon and prepare their servers, especially because AXIE has millions of users.

At first I got my Axies sometime weeks ago (a mixed of hybrid/chops type Axies) and only played a few days because of this unforgiving server issues that they have. I only earned around 113 SLP in a span of a week due to these unstable servers. So I gave up my Axies to another person so that I could focus on CryptoBlades (in which I indeed got my ROI faster than ever and I'm still enjoying it until now).

Although Axie is sustainable in the long run for both competitive gaming and play to earn concept, it's still a long way to go for them to become stable like the non-paying video games out there.
