Sandbox Games Meets Polygon

As more artists are on boarding into the NFT space, others are trail blazing through the metaverse. Today, we will focus on one of those metaverses called The Sandbox at sandbox.game. Sandbox runs on their native token $SAND and they focus on game creation and gameplay. Sandbox has just launched a new land sale which boasts collaborations with Gordon Ramsey’s ‘Hells Kitchen’ & musicians such as Richie Hawtin & DEADMAU5 will have virtual land and build their presence inside the metaverse through Sandbox. This makes me really bullish on $SAND tokens.

Gamestop & Crypto

GameStop’s stock has been available as fractional stocks through Binance Smart chains trading platform. GameStop is now stepping into the crypto world in full force. They have announced the launch of their new NFT platform which will be powered by their native token ‘GME,’ which is rumoured to be available sometime this year.

The GME token will be supporting the GAMESTOP eco-system inside the blockchain universe. I’ll be on the look out for the GME token.

A Word From The Team At Augur Turbo

“We are a decentralized betting platform which will be living on Ethereum through the Polygon (MATIC) layer 2 solutions. This will cut down the platform fees so the players can leave with more gains and less losses through transaction fees. Augur Turbo will also rely on Chainlink’s Oracle network. With the Chainlink integration, users can create betting markets for the National Basketball Association, Major League Baseball, Mixed Martial Arts, and the Olympics. Support for the National Football League, college football, soccer, tennis, golf and esports will soon follow. Chainlink will deliver data such as schedules, post-game scores, team and player stats.” – Augur Turbo

Token-isms

We don’t believe this bull run is over. We believe the market top will peak during the 4th quarter of 2021. However, we must prepare for the bear market, whether it arrives in 2022 as predicted by many or if it creeps up on us early. I’ve been preparing. These are the tokens I’m gathering right now to survive the bear market.

* The following is not financial advice. I’m just sharing my trade tactics and portfolio movements with the reader so you can understand why and how and why I BUY/HODL/SELL.

ADA (Cardano)

ADA’s blockchain is not even in motion yet, however, their community initiatives and real world solutions are gearing up to begin their journey. Once the movement with all the initiatives from Cardano begins in 2022 I expect a big pump. This will save a lot of portfolios during the next bear market. (To understand more about crypto slang, read our past articles).

I personally will be trying to buy as much ADA as possible until its at 3 CAD. Then I’ll hold my ADA bag until 2022 when I plan to sell a large portion. I predict the price of ADA could hit 20 to 40 CAD by 1st or 2nd quarter of 2022.

MATIC (Polygon)

MATIC price has proven to stand strong during last weeks crypto dump. I always look at a token or blockchain’s utility and the solutions they bring. MATIC does a great deal of both. Because of all the successful projects that are adopting POLYGON, I see this token being a saviour in my portfolio during the bear market in 2022. I predict MATIC to hit a minimum of 10 – 20 CAD by mid 2022. Remember, I said minimum.

SAND

SANDBOX.GAME are adopting musicians into their metaverse’s community on a large scale. They’re about to announce some big names (I might know some special info that I can’t share). Once the metaverse is open to gamers they’re hosting some serious events. All this news has given me the urgency to buy more $SAND.

As a holder of several parcels of land inside SANDBOX, I have faith in the price of their token. I bought a nice bag a few hours before writing this article and will be holding until the gains start rolling in. I predict a minimum 5 CAD $SAND by the end of 2021.
