Great nuggets of information here explaining the efficiency of the WAX blockchain, the market for trading digital and in-game assets with true digital ownership opportunities versus licensing game items from game publishers, and the impacts of physical to digital good NFT certificates of ownership will change e-commerce.\xa0

If you aren\u2019t into gaming, you might not be aware that every year millions of people buy, sell and trade virtual items online. In-game currency, virtual weapons or armor and character skins are some just of the digital items that people buy with real-world currency.
