Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: How Games Are Changing to Empower Everyone

[1:30] – Zachary shares something that he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.

• Your capacity of success is determined largely by your ability to suffer well. Your willingness to suffer more is a key aspect of reaching your full potential.

[2:34] – What are the problems you see with gaming?

• Before you needed to own a piece of media in order to play.
• Today you just need to pay a license fee to play.
• Developers are constantly pushing you to make new purchases. And this is a major anti-consumer practice.

[4:44] – How does blockchain help solve these problems?

• Blockchain is a key concept in understanding true ownership.
• If the blockchain system says it is your asset, then it is your asset.
• Blockchain is now the most reliable indicator of ownership.

[6:01] – If I truly own my digital assets, why don’t I have full control over them?

• There are different blockchains. We are not yet to the point that these chains can talk to each other effectively.

[10:24] – Isn’t blockchain game development notoriously difficult?… How can we become part of, or follow along with, this process?

• Game development on its own is already hard. It is more difficult to create games on Blockchain.
• But because of the advantages that blockchain gives us, it worthwhile to lower that barrier.

[13:59] – Aren’t NFTs bad for the environment?

• Ethereum NFTs gets the most media attention by far. It is very slow and energy inefficient – most especially it is bad for the environment.
• But what people are missing is that there are tons of NFTs that are not bad for the environment.
• Wax is thousand of times faster and more light weight compared to Ethereum, and it’s certified carbon neutral.

[16:31] – Zachary talks about Draco Dice

• Draco Dice has 3 goals:
  • Allow people to use their digital assets in more than one game.
  • Allow people to bring their digital assets back and forth between different blockchains.
  • Lowering the barrier for blockchain game development by providing other developers with these blockchains integrated assets that can be plugged into their own games.
  • Draco Dice – The Dice of Internet.
  • Draco Dice Discord – Revolutionary Dice NFTs. (Sorry! This link was active when this episode was first published in 2021. This resource is no longer available.)

[19:36] – Zachary’s key take away and call to action for Fire Nation.
