Some hot takes: Crypto’s Trojan horse isn’t just banks, stablecoins, or RWAs. It’s games. The average gamer spends roughly $10–30/month across categories (higher in North America: ~$25–70/mo). PC storefronts (Steam/Epic) are more “lumpy” (big sales, full-game buys), while subscriptions and gacha are recurring. Integrating crypto into traditional rails will mostly run into regulatory approvals, slow, heavy, and limiting. In games, it’s a different story. Many crypto natives are digital-first, raised in gaming’s golden era, and most digital products already run on gamified mechanics. In-game spending isn’t a novelty. It’s the default for it's users.

And if you think the gacha game industry is just mid, all cash grab fan service, take a look at the monthly numbers. Whatever they’re doing, it’s working. via @grok
