My people! What's going on? Get ready because I bring you hot news from the world of cryptocurrencies and video games that is making waves! 🔥 It’s about GUNZ (GUN), something that is rising like foam and has everyone on the lookout.
It turns out that the price of GUNZ skyrocketed by 13.84% in the last 24 hours and 80% in 7 days! 🚀 This is not a coincidence, my friends. Behind this boom, there are several things cooking.
To start, the folks at Steam, that giant platform where we all play, have given Web3 games a chance, which are the ones that use blockchain technology so players own their virtual items. Crazy! 🤩 The game making waves is "Off the Grid," and guess what, it uses the GUNZ blockchain! This is an unexpected turn for Steam, which has always been somewhat reluctant with crypto.
Imagine the play: this game has an optional NFT market. That is, if you want to buy and sell unique digital items, you can do it, but if you're not interested, that's fine. This way, they don't scare off lifelong players while simultaneously opening the door to blockchain technology. A great move, right?! ⚽ Theo Agranat, who is the head of Web3 at Gunzilla, the company behind all this, says the key is to balance the crypto move with traditional gameplay. And apparently, they are doing well because acceptance has even increased on the PS5!
In addition to the triumphant entry into Steam, GUNZ received a tremendous boost from its listing on the Bitfinex exchange on June 3rd of this year. More people buying, more liquidity, the price goes up! 💰 And as if that weren't enough, the NFT market is also growing like crazy, giving more strength to this entire narrative.
Now, not everything is rosy, you know? There’s a mix of feelings. On one hand, optimists see huge potential. They say that with 14 million GUNZ wallets and integration with AAA games (the high-budget ones), this thing is scalable and will dominate the world. 🌍 Kelvin Koh from Spartan Group is cautiously optimistic, seeing the transaction volume, but is realistic and says that Web3 games are still in their infancy.
On the other hand, skeptics aren't staying silent. They remember that Steam has always turned its back on crypto and wonder if those optional NFT features will be enough to really engage people. And we have seen blockchain game projects that have sunk, like Ember Sword! 📉
On the technical side, those who know about this saw that the price broke a key resistance at $0.0287. That's like a sign that the ticket is going up! 📈 And the GUNZ chain is already among the top 10 in active addresses. That's a lot of movement, my people!
So, the big question is: will these optional blockchain features attract enough users to justify all this fuss? Will Web3 games finally take off big or will they remain a "almost"? We need to keep an eye on this story because it could change the game forever! 👀$GUN
