El Salvador’s Bitcoin play: What does the current slump mean for adoption?
Cointelegraph: This article analyses whether the current drop in Bitcoin price and the crypto market volatility, in general, has somehow affected El Salvador’s strategy in the adoption of crypto assets as a legal tender and a store of value. Many blockchain and crypto experts stand in El Salvador’s favour and, among others, Lior Yaffe comments that the transition to Bitcoin as legal tender has been a strategic move to position the country as a local tech hub.

万变不离其宗：NFT游戏能否公平？
Deep Cloud Finance: Blockchain gaming is an exciting vertical in the crypto industry, and many developers are exploring new models to increase the appeal of games while maintaining the essence of online gaming: game fairness. Almost all Play-To-Earn games require players to purchase tokens or other digital assets to play, which increases the barriers to entry for new players and the concentration of wealth and assets in clubs, thus going against the decentralization spirit of the blockchain technology. For all these reasons, the Play-To-Own model remains the winning mechanism of P2E. Players will still be able to unlock rewards by levelling up in-game, and they’ll have new ways to apply these assets. This Chinese article covers Bridge Champ for mastering the P2O model, as the world’s first online bridge game platform developed by Jelurida. In Bridge Champ, worldwide users can play with full transparency, all data are open and they can earn official IGNIS tokens while playing and showing excellent bridge skills.
