Today, I stepped down as CEO of Binance. Admittedly, it was not easy to let go emotionally. But I know it is the right thing to do. I made mistakes, and I must take responsibility. This is best for our community, for Binance, and for myself.

It was my pleasure to share some recent thoughts on Blockchain infrastructure and the future of gaming at Primavera Capital’s web3 workshop. Ecstatic to see heightened interest in this sector from traditional PE / VC powerhouses.

Some thoughts around casual games & Web3 (🧵):
1) Casual games have a much wider audience vs. other genres. >60% of gamers play casual games on the regular. # of downloads in this segment is expected to >18bn in 2022. Which makes it a good gateway to onboard more users into Web3
Cheap valuation does not solve for:
1) Small TAM
2) questionable business model
3) unsustainable monetization strategy
4) lack of competitive advantage
5) imprudent budget management
Why SLG games are purrrfect for Web3:
1/ Complex in-game economy that enables NFT technology & the use of tokens
2/ Caters experiences to Whales, Dolphins, Minnows & even non-monetizers for a sustainable economy
Infrastructure need (more) users to test & iterate. Users can only come through great apps with killer functions (not over-reliance on token incentives).
As an ex-consumer VC investor with portcos successfully acquired by the likes of P&G, I would like to take a moment to appreciate what an achievement it is for
@LucaNetz
& his team to get
@pudgypenguins
into 2,000 Walmarts. The new multimedia experience featuring NFTs is here.

Brand building is all about capturing mind share🧠, here are 3 main ways (investor perspective):👇
1) First / early mover in a nascent vertical with a differentiated value proposition that has real demand from a large enough TAM.
Why DIDs are important for Web3:
- Fraud prevention (creative works authentication)
- Fairer distribution of airdrops
- Identity-gated access
- Optimized lending based on credit scores
- Reduction in spams

If >70M units of K-POP physical CDs (i.e. collectibles) could be sold every year in S.Korea alone, imagine the potential for (unique) digital collectibles with true ownership + greater accessibility for tier 1 fandom.

@EA
just shared that
@TheSims
4 now reaches 70M players & is the most popular in 23 years 🔥
- Sims is a great forever franchise that flies under the radar
- free-to-play drove massive engagement (WAUs up 53%)
- diverse audience - lots of women, 75% of new Simmers are non-NA
The player liquidity problem is a big pain point for new PVP games. Mismatching players with a large disparity in strength/level (multiple times) ruins the experience and can destroy retention. Hence, imo PVP-only games are poised for an uphill battle from the start.

Xterio is a Web3 game platform & publisher innovating AI toolkits to bridge free-to-play & on-chain gaming with its diverse suite of in-house & third-party games.
In bear, 1) builders do have more pressure (and time) to focus on “real user case” vs. rushing to market. 2) Founders are also more prudent on capital management / budgeting.
