any ideas what could be the next big thing after the three before which we saw over the years?

Right now "play to earn" stuff is getting a lot of attention. It has a lot of stuff from NFT world, but it doesn't even have to be NFT anymore, they are just making games at this point. There are ones that are purely text-based with a bit of graphic to show for, and there are 2d games and even 3d games right now.

As I understand, people like it in a way that the harder you work (of course smarter too) the more you can earn, and that means long hours equal bigger pay, and some people like that, why? Because in bitcoin if we both buy right now then in 10 days we all will be at the same place, but in these type of games if I spend 10 hours a day on it, while you spend maybe 10 hours a week, that means in 10 days I will have more money than you.

Surely in USA or UK that may not be a good valid job, but for many nations even $1 per hour of work means good profit, 12 hours a day means $12 a day and $360 a month, that is good for many many people around the world.

So all this gambling after all? Everybody invest to play and one winner takes it all. I think it's just hype and most of the project will be useless. All those investors are investing only for speculation right now. Most of them are not gamers and people will stop investing after the trend is over. Because FPS multiplayer game is already very popular, I do not think pro gamers are interested in playing a super Mario type game for money.
