How to choose the right Move To Earn game
The first thing that can be advised is to gain the necessary knowledge about the cryptocurrency and Move To Earn platforms that you are considering. The very topic of the blockchain, with its prospects, is a complex and risky topic, you should not take on earnings through NFT without understanding the risks, especially when it comes to spending the last money on NFT shoes or a bracelet. Your expenses should pay off, and not be at a loss to you. Therefore, it is worthwhile to do some research on both cryptocurrencies and Move To Earn games, since there are no guarantees that the developer will not be one of those who receive more income from NFT for themselves than for supporting the game or platform. As soon as you study all the ins and outs of the game you are interested in and its currency - go for it!
The second thing you should pay attention to is that many games develop and promote their own cryptocurrency, which has a very different value. On the other hand, there are many Move To Earn games that work the same way with more common and more valuable cryptocurrencies, such as the same Ethereum.
Thirdly, you need to understand that many of the Move To Earn projects are completely new, so there are few guarantees that today you decide to earn crypto or NFT through one of the new games, and tomorrow it will not take off. This can be very frustrating, so be careful that you do this as well.
And the fourth thing you should pay attention to is the technical complexity of the game. Physically, you are mainly required to perform certain tricks or just run, but the game itself can either just be an application on your phone, or a game installed separately from an Internet service like Steam, or it involves purchasing some additional equipment to record your movements, which can increase the spend, which, in other matters, may pay off.
