episode RugRoast on Rug Radio EP: 22 cover

Description

Ed shares his journey from growing up loving arcade games and baseball cards in the '80s, working in IT and building custom arcade sticks for professional Street Fighter players, to his introduction into NFTs through NBA Top Shots and Atari 2600 cartridge NFTs. He then discusses his idea for Arcade.io, a platform allowing users to buy and play games using unique NFTs as 'keys.' Each NFT holds the top 10 high scores for that particular game, creating an interesting constraint for gameplay. Ed discusses how he strives to make NFTs more appealing and accessible to new users, but acknowledges the reluctance of most gamers to embrace NFTs. The conversation concludes with the hosts suggesting ways to enhance the gaming experience by linking the rarity of NFTs to in-game features. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
