Global Blockchain Show: The ultimate blockchain season finale 

Join us at GBS event!

## Introduction

Today’s interview is about David Bailey, Co-founder & CEO of BTC, Inc., whose journey in the blockchain started in quite an interesting way. As the co-founder and chief executive officer of BTC Inc., David Bailey is an industry leader and evangelist for the decentralized future. Since 2013, BTC Inc has grown to offer critical intelligence, brand-building expertise and technical incubation specialized for the Bitcoin ecosystem, as well as industry-leading projects like Bitcoin Magazine, the Bitcoin 2022 conference, and Carrot. As Bitcoin reshapes views on money and freedom, Bailey’s story is about more than just digital currency.

## You've been a key figure in the Bitcoin space for a while now. Let’s start with your journey. What initially drew you to the world of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, and how did you get started in this field?

When I was in college, my buddy showed me this Bitcoin thing. I immediately thought it was a scam. I spent about 2 solid weeks deep-diving into it to prove to my buddy that it was a scam. After 2 weeks I realized that it in fact was not a scam and that it could actually be a world-shifting invention. At that point, I went all-in on it, started my company, and haven’t looked back. 

## That’s a powerful shift. With all the noise in the space, what do you think is the biggest misconception people have about Bitcoin?

I think the number 1 driver of misunderstandings about Bitcoin is that people still believe it’s worthless. All of their misgivings about Bitcoin are derived from this fundamental misunderstanding. There are over 100 million people around the world storing their wealth, transacting, and valuing the world in Bitcoin. Currently, 1 Bitcoin is valued at $73 thousand. That is because of its fundamental ability to store and move value permissionless over the internet, outside of the constraints of the existing financial system. 

## Where do you see the cryptocurrency industry heading in the next five to ten years, especially with all the discussions around regulations and mainstream adoption?

Bitcoin will become the most valuable asset in the world. The people, companies and countries who adopt it will become the most influential of the next century.

## For someone just getting started, what advice would you give to a new investors entering the Bitcoin market? Are there any common mistakes they should be mindful of?

First off, avoid the noise. There’s always going to be hype around other projects, but stick to Bitcoin. There is no Bitcoin 2.0. There is no second best. If you want to learn more about Bitcoin, read Bitcoin Magazine, or attend the Bitcoin 2025 Conference. 

## Your long-term commitment to holding Bitcoin, even through its ups and downs, is really impressive. What keeps you so motivated to stick with it?

For me, it’s about inevitability. I genuinely believe that personal freedom and sovereignty are things we all want, not just for ourselves but for our children too. And I don’t see any other path forward that can deliver that, other than Bitcoin. It’s not just about financial gain; it’s about building a future where individuals can be truly independent and free. Bitcoin is the the only tool I see that makes that kind of future possible. So yes, the price may fluctuate, but that doesn’t shake my belief in what Bitcoin stands for. 

## That sense of purpose is clear. Shifting gears, what upcoming projects or initiatives at BTC Inc. are you most excited about right now?

We’ve got so much happening, it’s hard to pick just one! Our Bitcoin for Corporations program is a big one. We’ve put a lot of effort into educating institutions about Bitcoin, and we’re seeing some real momentum there. But what I’m really excited about is taking our events global. We’re expanding to MENA later this year, and next year we’ll be in Las Vegas. That one is going to be epic—probably the biggest conference we’ve ever had. The energy around these events just keeps building, and I think 2024 and especially 2025 is going to be massive for Bitcoin. 

## Speaking of events, what can attendees expect from your upcoming conferences?

Expect to be blown away! We’re stepping it up every time. Our goal is to deliver more than just another Bitcoin meetup—we want to create a platform where real, hard discussions and proposals can take place. It’s a space for Bitcoiners, but also for people who want to push the conversation forward. We’re constantly working to enhance the attendee experience, and we want to make sure these events are the best anyone has ever been to. I want people to leave feeling like they were part of something special—part of this wild, early adopter movement that’s shaping the future.

From college skeptic to Bitcoin visionary: dive into David Bailey's journey as BTC Inc.'s CEO shares exclusive insights on digital freedom, the future of cryptocurrency, and why Bitcoin isn't just about money – it's about reshaping the future of global finance.

## Introduction:

A new frontier can be observed in the constant revolution of the entertainment industry especially when it comes to the line that differentiates between life and fantasy. How about venturing into the blockchain gaming universe – where thousands of players can come together to live through engaging and building their legends? Starting with the spectacular flight through the galaxy up to the management of awesome mechs, this article will introduce you to the fascinating blockchain-based games that are changing the future of gaming.

## Cybertitans: Forging Legendary Machines

This time, you are going to find yourself in Cybertitans! As in any other captivating game based on the blockchain, the player is free to create legendary mechs characterized by outstanding abilities and design. Fight huge epic combats, defeat your enemies, and get to the top of a mech glory as you go through this engaging world.\
However, the essence of the game Cybertitans can be summed up in the crafting of the mech of your own choice. Because of this world’s heavier focus on crafting, players can very consciously pick and choose every single detail of their equipment and their vehicle, right from the chassis and the armor, to the gun and the power source. This level of customization is not only capable of satisfying the players’ artistry but also awards them a fair chance on the game map.

Further into Cybertitans, it should be noted that you are going to be faced with PvP battles, where the primary focus is on the player’s abilities and his/her mech. Players are locked in a rat race to build the best machines and get on top of the ladder, and, therefore, the battleground is dynamic. Specifically, various relationships between players form interesting dynamics of the game, alliances and collaborations between the players increase the complexity of the interactions between rivals.

## Heroes Battle Arena: Unleash Your Strategic Might

Heroes Battle Arena offers players an opportunity to unleash their inner warrior and engage in intense battles against formidable opponents. Whether you prefer to go head-to-head against the AI-controlled heroes or challenge real human players, the game provides an exhilarating experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Heroes Battle Arena boasts a diverse roster of heroes, each with their unique abilities and playstyles. Whether you prefer the agility of a nimble assassin, the brute force of a tank, or the strategic prowess of a mage, there is a hero to suit every playstyle. As you progress in the game, you can unlock new heroes, further expanding your options and strategies. While Heroes Battle Arena offers fast-paced action, it also rewards strategic thinking. The game features a range of map objectives, team-based battles, and various game modes that require players to make tactical decisions. Coordinating with teammates, utilizing hero synergies, and adapting to the ever-changing battlefield are crucial elements of success in Heroes Battle Arena.

## Mirandus: Forge Your Own Destiny in a Magical Realm

Welcome to the Mirandus – step into the adventures of fantasy and reality. Shape your future and release the power of two worlds as you traverse this huge and enigmatic land, do missions, and form fellowship with other players. Learn everything about your selected class, find relics of the past, and determine the course of this wonderful virtual world.

 Mirandus is a decentralized MMORPG game that operates on blockchain and presents the players with a perfectly designed world. Fantasy elements rooted in the highly detailed and complex narrative of the game world generate feelings of marvel and investigation, the heroes’ personal development gradually occurring as the players practice quests, the development of the characters, etc.

 As the central idea of the game Mirandus, players are to have agency over the story in the game. A strong element of flexibility is given to the player as characters can be selected from a range of classes that feature different attributes and also can play the game in different defined ways, the setting of the game features a vast world space. Multiple, small-scale stories are written by the users and players at the same time, enabling them to affect the grand narrative of the Mirandus universe.

 Perhaps one of the biggest strengths of Mirandus is the concept of real ownership that originates from the blockchain capability of the game in which players own their characters, their weapons and armor, and even pieces of the virtual land. These NFT-based assets can be bought/sold, rented out or used as collateral in DeFi systems, making it challenging to distinguish between the real and the virtual world.

 The greater the interaction players have with Mirandus the more shall they realize the game is filled with potential cooperation, resource gathering as well as strategic partnership. The game’s sandbox spontaneous experience and the ability of players themselves to build and govern the economy introduce constant change as actions produce corresponding reactions in the synchronous metaverse.

## Mega Weapon: Dominate the Ultimate Mech Showdown

This fast-paced, online-only first-person shooter tests you against other players in fast and furiously entertaining face-offs. Build your own mech, learn how to use all of its functions, and defeat your opponent to win a battle of giant mechs.\

These mech NFTs can be traded – along with other goodies – due to the game’s player economy which lets players trade ultras within the game and create in-game economies for those willing to put the effort in.

## Nine Chronicles: Forge Your Legacy in a Decentralized World

Start your new path and collect what you need on this constantly changing terrain and build your alliances. Join the Club and take the place among leaders who are creating the future of this decentralized world.\
Nine Chronicles is an Open World RPG for PC based on the blockchain that stands out for its complete decentralization. Unlike most of the existing games where the developers remain fully in charge of the game story and advancement, Nine Chronicles allows players to play an active role in determining the game’s plot and thus its progression.\
This has a rather crucial role in Nine Chronicles, which is a decentralized game in every manner. It can let players have a say in some deciding factors where for example voting on what new game mechanics or balance changes should be made or even in the story of the game. Such a high level of player control leads to a high level of Players’ ownership and engagement in Nine Chronicles’ MMORPG setting.\
This aspect is made more and more pronounced by the game’s integration with a blockchain since players can fully own the in-game assets and even trade them with characters, items, and even virtual lands. These integritized assets based on NFT can be used for passive earnings, as means of participate in the game economy or can be utilized in DeFi.\
While moving through the open world of Nine Chronicles the players will meet countless missions, resources, and cooperation opportunities. The non-linearity of the game and its dependence on the players’ actions and decisions guarantee that every person using the application will not only have their experience unlike that of others but also contribute to the creation of a meaningful and potentially lasting player-driven story in the shared metaverse. 

## Wreck League: Craft Legends, Crush Rivals, Dominate the Ultimate Mech Showdown

Design your own legendary mechs along with its features and moves which can be different from other mechs. Defeat your opponents in the fierce PvP mode, and climb up the charts while making your way to becoming the ultimate mech-wielding champion.\
Wreck League is an NFT game that eliminates the middleman when it comes to creating mechs for the game. The crafting system in the game is extremely elaborate and enables the player to create their own mechs and bequeath them various types of armament, shields, and bonuses. It also allows the players to unleash their creativity while also allowing them to have a strategic tool in their arsenal in the middle of a game.\
In Wreck League, the PvP mode takes the center stage in which individuals duel it out in an actual mech battle. The fights are very dynamic and full of realistic combat simulations which imply knowing how to manage your mech, how to predict your opponent’s actions, and how to deliver a powerful blow.\
The addition of blockchain in Wreck League is a positive one as players can fairly own and sell the mechs they build thanks to the game’s integration of the said technology. Since the mech NFTs are tradeable within the game, this player developed economy enables players to sell or trade these assets among the other things.\
Since this isn’t your conventional RPG that has levels, players are bound to elevate in rank and also build up their mech legends where they are rewarded with new customization elements, unique resources, and mech designs. The game is constantly developing a new meta and new competition that make the way to dominance never a smooth one and players have to keep on adjusting the strategies.

Due to the strategic decisions and resource-management aspect of the game, players get an attractive progression that is based on careful planning.

The use of blockchain in Space Misfits enriches the game by creating a new layer of ownership and value of assets within it. Players can buy and sell their spaceships, planetary outposts, avatars and other virtual assets and goods as NFTs, thus there could be a very active and engaging player’s economy integrated in Space Misfits game world.

An RPG such as Space Misfits can have many connected hubs that can provide players with abilities to cooperate as well as share resources and enjoy the ‘cross-over’ effects with other games. The storyline reaches out across the gaming world and with constantly changing storylines, a player is guaranteed one hasn’t exhausted them and wants to switch to something else.

## Conclusion:

This blockchain gaming revolution is here and these fantastic games are only the start of it.
