Recently, we’ve seen an explosion of so-called experts popping up everywhere. And while there’s nothing wrong with being an expert in your field, the problem arises when people start calling themselves experts without having any expertise to back it up.

This is a dangerous trend because it leads to much misinformation being spread around, and it can also make it harder for people who are experts to be taken seriously.

So why are people doing this? In many cases, it’s simply because they want to jump on the latest bandwagon and be seen as someone who is “in the know.” But in other cases, it may be because they genuinely believe they know more than they do.

There are plenty of other sources of information out there that you can rely on. Whatever the reason, it’s essential to be careful about whom you take advice from online. If someone claims to be an expert but needs to know what they’re talking about, it’s best to steer clear.

Crypto scams usually work by promising investors huge returns on their investment but failing to deliver on those promises. Sometimes, the scammers will disappear with the money, while others may try to sell investors worthless or fake tokens to prolong the charade and prevent the house of cards from tumbling in.

Many scams make it difficult for victims to get their money back. In some cases, victims may be able to recover their funds through law enforcement or by filing a civil lawsuit, but often they are left out of pocket as the courts don’t always have a firm grip over the technology involved.

Someone who has come into the space more recently, Sam Bankman Fried, otherwise known as SBF, created the seventh-largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, FTX. Again, thanks to this and according to Forbes, SBF is worth around $15.3 billion. Recently, CZ made a Tweet that he plans on liquidating over $500 million in FTT tokens (the native token to FTX exchange).

Most would agree gaming is one of the most future-forward industries that push the envelope of innovation, especially given recent immersive initiatives like web3-based gaming, rich NFT elements, two-factor user authentication protocols, AI-generated music to match a player’s preferences, and of course, the ongoing work to pave the path into the metaverse. However, some of these tech advancements
can also mean limited access for certain gamers in a community already notorious for its deeply exclusive subcultures.

Esports is easily one of the most cliquish of the bunch (if for no other reason than its elite standing), but Challenger is leveraging its passion for the everyday gamer and its patented technology to break down historical barriers to entry and democratize esports-like competition for gamers of all skill levels.

Instagram plans to launch several tools related to nonfungible tokens (NFTs) that will enable creators to produce, display, and exchange NFTs.

Meta, Instagram’s parent company, announced at Creator Week 2022 on November 2 that its creators would be able to make and sell “digital collectibles” on and off the platform. Meta has chosen the Polygon blockchain as its initial partner to provide creators with an “end-to-end toolkit” for developing, displaying, and selling NFTs on the platform.

Meta announced support for the Solana blockchain and the Phantom wallet in addition to Ethereum, Flow, and Polygon. A “small group” of American creators will be able to beta test the new features, and the rollout to other countries will follow. However, no time frame was given for the rollout. There will be many more NFTs supported, including videos, and metadata like names and descriptions will be fetched from the OpenSea NFT marketplace to categorize better and label these assets.

GameStop has announced that its marketplace now supports NFTs minted via Ethereum’s layer-2 scaling network, Immutable X. This paves the way for users to buy and sell assets from Web3 games on the site.

The GameStop marketplace now features interactive NFT items for several games based on the immutable X system, including Gods Unchained, Illuvium, and Guild of Guardians. Things like digital trading cards and plots of customizable land are just two examples of tokenized, tradable items.

In July, GameStop finally launched its NFT marketplace, but it was initially limited to digital artwork and collectibles. Many people in the Web3 community have wondered how long it will be before the company incorporates NFTs from interactive games into its more significant focus and market plans.

The store’s alliance with Immutable X was announced in February’s beginning of the year. In addition to GameStop’s separate participation in a $500 million fund with investment and grants for NFT and game creators using Immutable X, the companies have announced a $100 million token incentive fund for Web3 game developers.

The current collectible market or NFT trading space is reminiscent of the early days of Wall Street and rapidly growing like there’s no tomorrow. However, to meet its full potential in a financially secure future and sustainably long-term viability, the industry needs systemization, regulations, technological infrastructure, or in simpler words, it needs market structure.

When traders look at NFTs, they see rarity and listing price, but that is about to change. Market structure refers to the underlying way a market operates, and let’s break down some missing components and the players building them.

Sales volume for Dapper Labs' NBA Top Shot has declined to $2.6 million from $224 million in early 2021

“These cuts are the last thing we want to do, but they are necessary for our company’s and communities’ long-term health. We know Web3 and crypto are the future across a wide range of industries, with 1000x potential in terms of mainstream adoption and impact from here, but the current macroeconomic environment means we don’t have complete control over the timing “In a blog post, Dapper Labs Founder and CEO Roham Gharegozlou stated.

Warner Bros., a major player in the multimedia entertainment industry, has teamed up with Web3 company Eluvio to release The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring in its entirety as a collection of NFTs to launch the “WB Movieverse,” an initiative that sounds more and more absurd the more you hear about it.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Extended Version) Web3 Movie Experience, a cumbersomely named rerelease of Peter Jackson’s 2001 movie that will exist on Eluvio’s branded Content Blockchain, was just announced by Warner Bros. Eluvio CEO Michelle Munson praised Warner Bros. for its dedication to NFT projects in a press release about their collaboration and claimed that their partnership is poised to support the growth of films as NFTs.

Even in a Bear Market, there are always growth opportunities. Whether that comes from investing, trading, holding, or building, people and companies are helping grow and stabilize the blockchain space, such as Sam Bankman Fried, FTX Exchange founder. He and Brian Armstrong, founder of Coinbase, signed the Giving Pledge established by Bill Gates and Warren Buffet.

In the blockchain world, The Giving Block has been created for similar reasons, and it shows a synergy between traditional finance and bleeding-edge technology like blockchain; that synergy is a lesson that it takes all of us to make the world a better place and that this is not a one-way street. Mainstream adoption flows both ways, and the world is finally beginning to pick up on it.
