Investor should be careful while investing to gamefi
GameFi is the combination of “decentralized finance” and online gaming based on Blockchain tech. In this system, players can join the game and earn virtual money which could be convert into real currency.
Although it is a new trend and is attracting more and more attention of young people, however, according to Nikkei Asia, for those who follow the trend without carefully understanding, GameFi contains many risks and trap for players.
Analysis from Nikkei Asia shows that the crypto world is a “Wild West”, in which cryptocurrencies are highly volatile and filled with pitfalls. Since cryptocurrencies in decentralized finance are still in their infancy, it is easy for new, uninformed players to fall into the trap when problems arise. Therefore, before participating, players need to learn carefully about the project, idea, development team, etc.
