Hey Jeff! Thanks for doing this AMA! As a community leader, what's one thing you advise founders to focus on when building a community and one thing they should not bother about?

@5harath I think that especially in Web 3, community building is the only distribution strategy that works in the early days. It needs to be a grassroots movement. While it may seem like your time would be better spent on doing big paid campaigns and even reaching out to large influencers, you need to use that ammunition at the proper time. Community is the bedrock.

What is the future of Layer 2 solutions and NFT gaming? Will each ecosystem have their own L2 or will there be some great convergence? (shout out westchester).
The Jiho๐Ÿฆ‡๐Ÿ”Š
@bradley_miles_ I think there may be a few distinct data storage layers but assets that, through adoption, are universally interpreted and accepted.

What do you say to the people that claim that Play to Earn is a ponzi scheme?
The Jiho๐Ÿฆ‡๐Ÿ”Š
@ediggs Not everyone who plays Axie is looking for a financial return. There are other types of rewards such as power, respect, and fun. These players trade their financial capital for other types of capital within the ecosystem. I recommend taking a look at: https://axiepulse.substack.com/p... for more information!

What are the biggest opportunities for startups in the metaverse?
The Jiho๐Ÿฆ‡๐Ÿ”Š
@ediggs I'm interested in social coordination tools but I'm worried that they might just be features for Discord to integrate rather than viable businesses.

Hello. Are you thinking to implement any L2 solution because the prohibitive gas fees?
The Jiho๐Ÿฆ‡๐Ÿ”Š
@luis_carlos_poveda We're using Ronin, which is our NFT scaling solution!

Hi Jeff, how do you plan on addressing the massive inflation in $SLP which is negative for players earnings?
The Jiho๐Ÿฆ‡๐Ÿ”Š
@dr_test Please read the whitepaper! We have plans to add many more sinks in the future.

Hi Jeff, congratulations for your vision of integrating game and NFT. I am your crypto investor, almost from day one. What were your main difficulties and how did you solve them?

Are there any examples of surprising user bases/user behaviour you didn't expect? i.e. I heard about people in the Philippines who doubled their income playing Axie
The Jiho๐Ÿฆ‡๐Ÿ”Š
@ediggs The scholarship model (lending Axies) was a model that developed way ahead of schedule.

Hello Jihoz, I'm playing Axie for 3 months now, and I would like to thank you for all! You taught me that decentralization is the way! I am developing a table RPG system based on Axie, and I would like to know if the Company is interested in supporting this kind of projects. I'm also interested to know if there are other NFT games interested in using the Ronin network. With love, Kraven
