I feel like the Web3 gaming ecosystem may be attracting a certain type of persona that is just interested in making quick cash; the so called low-hanging fruit. I have written about this and wanted some additional input as to what you guys think: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/web3-gaming-play-to-trade-play-to-earn-alan-shteynberg/

Great discussion! Play-to-Trade and Play-to-Earn are two different approaches to gaming that offer unique opportunities for players. Play-to-Trade involves playing games to acquire in-game items or currency that can be traded or sold for real money, while Play-to-Earn involves playing games to earn a direct income or cryptocurrency. Both approaches can be appealing to players for different reasons. Play-to-Trade can be a great way to monetize one's gaming skills and build a side hustle or full-time career. On the other hand, Play-to-Earn can offer more direct and immediate financial rewards, and may be particularly appealing to players in developing countries or those without access to traditional job opportunities. Ultimately, the choice between Play-to-Trade and Play-to-Earn depends on a player's goals and preferences. Some may prefer the flexibility and potential upside of Play-to-Trade, while others may be more interested in the stability and consistency of Play-to-Earn. It's an exciting time for gaming and blockchain technology, and I'm looking forward to seeing how these trends continue to evolve and create new opportunities for players around the world.
