I believe that cryptocurrency and the gaming industry will be able to make strides together. Using cryptocurrencies as rewards for game users with coins whether its rewards for a player's performance or using the coins as bet chips. The gaming industry is the perfect place for cryptocurrencies to be used. They would be able to be exchanged in game very quickly and very easily and be used for many different use cases. Gamers could use them to make in-game purchases, exchange them with another player, used to be bet on game outcomes, and could be used as rewards and bonuses to players.
Coins like GameCredits and Digibyte can make waves in the gaming and crypto community if they do it right. Gaming companies could issue their own cryptocurrencies in their own games and rewards their users. They could even giveaway coins in a competition among all of its players.
Cryptocurrencies and the gaming industry has the potential to have a great partnership together and they have the chance to be a platform where cryptocurrencies take the place of FIAT and are used regularly to make payments.
