In general, I'm pretty bearish on the longevity of altcoins as a whole. With that being said, there is an exception in my platform. I am *very* bullish on the role of altcoins in online gaming.

I've got money in GameCredits and BitCrystals currently, and looking to hedge my portfolio. Any other altcoins that are looking to play a role in the gaming economy? I know there is GoldPieces but I think it's dead? And IIRC some streamer was developing an MMO with a crypto but I can't remember the name of it.

Why not use bitcoin for gaming? Why create new coins for this? Do you realize that these right now are nothing but mere ponzi schemes? The strategy that they have created with marketing their coin for gaming means that their target is the younger people of the community. A demographic that is easy to take money from in my opinion.

Clearly you don't understand the purpose of GameCredits at the very least. I spent years working and building my own successful servers in the gaming industry before coming to this team. GameCredits would have saved me thousands upon thousands of dollars. This coin is not a scheme. We've never had an ICO, and have instead self funded ourselves for 3 years with over 1.5 million dollars. Why? Because we're creating a billion dollar solution.

Who is GameCredits targeting? Game developers and gamers. Currently game developers face fees of up to 30% on all payments, long payment processing periods of up to a month, charge back and fraud, low consumer deposit limits, and much more. GameCredits solves all of these problems while also providing a number of benefits to gamers. If game developers use our platform they could potentially save millions upon millions. We already hundreds of game developers signed up to use our product, and are testing in two large games with over 10 million registered users between the two of them. Bitcoin cannot do what we do. Why would a gamer want to transfer their money into bitcoin to pay for in game items(By the middle of this month gamers can buy GameCredits with paypal/credit card)? Why would a developer want to create a complicated system using bitcoin to monetize their video game (meaning creating in game tournaments where players earn bitcoin. Our API allows for this simply)? Creating an easy to use and FREE blockchain based payment gateway completely revolutionizes the industry, and is a win for everyone.

If you think that GameCredits is a ponzi scheme, you don't know anything about us. We're a group of game developers and gamers working to provide a solution for other game developers and gamers, and we've been working on this since 2014.

Thosuands of gamers are already using our platform and benefiting from what we provide. I'd suggest doing some more research before you jump to conclusions.
