    I think we're going to see integration into gaming in a number of different ways - in-game purchases (which allow the games to obtain greater reach) as well as facilitating recruitment of tech talent on the development side too (both with respect to crowdsourcing and properly paying/rewarding developers). Great collaborative opportunity ahead!

    Yup this is going to rock the blockchain party. In fact efforts were initiated back in 2011.
    Today just heard about yumerium, which are tokens that can be earned by playing games

    Eventually gaming and cryptocurrency is going to merge big time, one of the ways will be through Enjin (ENJ) they're going to be one of the first cryptocurrencies to be mainly focused on games and virtual goods. Also check out Neblio, a platform aimed for enterprise adoption.
