🧠 Diana’s Guide: Questions About Virtual Currency

✨ You’re new here? Perfect. Let’s break down some of the biggest questions people have when stepping into crypto. 📍1. Where does the credibility of crypto come from? Will it collapse? 🔹 Code Rules Bitcoin has hard-coded rules: Only 21 million will ever exist New coins are mined every ~10 minutes Rewards decrease over time These rules are public and can't be changed. 🔹 Network Consensus If enough people use it and agree on its value, it holds worth—like any currency! 🔹 Decentralized Operation There’s no CEO. No central bank. Just a global network running the same software. 🔹 Transparency Every transaction is recorded on the blockchain—open for anyone to see. ❗But can it collapse? Yes, and it has. Projects like LUNA or FTX collapsed due to bad design or fraud. So don’t believe “every crypto is safe.” Only strong, decentralized projects like Bitcoin or Ethereum have real staying power. 🎮 2. How are items turned into NFTs in games? In blockchain games: Weapons, skins, pets = can be minted as NFTs NFTs give true ownership to players You can trade them without needing the game company’s permission 🧪 Example: You win a rare sword. The game turns it into an NFT. You sell it on a market. Boom. 💡 But not everything should be an NFT. Good NFTs: rare skins, event tickets, digital certificates. Bad NFTs: random screenshots, low-effort images, copy-paste junk. 💵 3. Do cryptocurrencies tie to the US dollar? Most crypto like BTC and ETH = ❌ not tied to USD They float based on market demand. Prices go up and down. But... there’s a type called stablecoins, and these are tied to USD: Stablecoin How it works USDT/USDC Backed by real dollars in a bank DAI Backed by crypto collateral UST (failed) Algorithmic, no real backing ❌ They help people use crypto like dollars—stable for payments and trading. 🌐 4. In the metaverse, does money need to link to real-world currency? Not always. You might use in-game tokens like MANA, SAND, or ETH inside virtual worlds. But once you want to cash out (buy groceries, pay rent), you'll need to convert to USD (or your local currency). ⚠️ If USD collapses someday? Crypto might also take a hit—because many coins are still priced in dollars. This is a real risk people are thinking about. 🕹 5. In GameFi, who gives out the money and how do companies make profit? GameFi = games + finance 👾 How do players earn? NFTs and tokens come from smart contracts (pre-coded rules) You earn them through gameplay: mining, battling, trading 💰 How do companies earn? Selling NFTs early (like land or characters) Taking a cut of every trade Holding their own tokens Selling premium features Launching governance tokens (used for voting, also tradable) 🚨 But! If no new players come in, or if token prices drop… → That’s how many GameFi games collapse. So, only games with real use cases and long-term plans are sustainable. ✅ To Summarize: You asked... What it really means Can I trust crypto? Depends on decentralization + code Can it collapse? Yes. Many already have. What’s the dollar link? Crypto still priced in fiat today Who gives out game rewards? Smart contracts + coded logic How do GameFi firms profit? NFT sales, token holdings, etc 🙋‍♀️ New to crypto?
