| 00:00:00 | 00:00:05 | is it possible to earn a full-time |
| 00:00:01 | 00:00:07 | living in the metaverse |
| 00:00:05 | 00:00:09 | why get a real life job when you can |
| 00:00:07 | 00:00:11 | just sit at home and make all your money |
| 00:00:09 | 00:00:13 | in the digital world companies like |
| 00:00:11 | 00:00:15 | Facebook sandbox and the central land |
| 00:00:13 | 00:00:16 | are spending billions of dollars racing |
| 00:00:15 | 00:00:18 | to see who can create the ultimate |
| 00:00:16 | 00:00:20 | virtual society which potentially |
| 00:00:18 | 00:00:22 | creates a golden opportunity for you and |
| 00:00:20 | 00:00:24 | me so I decided to see what all the hype |
| 00:00:22 | 00:00:26 | is about and spend the next two days |
| 00:00:24 | 00:00:28 | trying to make as much money as possible |
| 00:00:26 | 00:00:29 | in the metaverse and to celebrate the |
| 00:00:28 | 00:00:31 | holidays I'm going to be giving away a |
| 00:00:29 | 00:00:33 | free Oculus quest to somebody in the |
| 00:00:31 | 00:00:35 | comments down below more info on that at |
| 00:00:33 | 00:00:38 | the end of this video and the first |
| 00:00:35 | 00:00:40 | thing I'll be doing is gaming now I know |
| 00:00:38 | 00:00:42 | what you might be thinking gaming are |
| 00:00:40 | 00:00:43 | you crazy are you done which one you |
| 00:00:42 | 00:00:45 | could pick one but hear me out for a |
| 00:00:43 | 00:00:47 | second there's a new genre of games |
| 00:00:45 | 00:00:49 | called play to earn and they are taking |
| 00:00:47 | 00:00:50 | the Internet by storm these games are |
| 00:00:49 | 00:00:51 | powered by the blockchain which is the |
| 00:00:50 | 00:00:53 | same tiknology that all |
| 00:00:51 | 00:00:55 | cryptokurrencies are built on and |
| 00:00:53 | 00:00:57 | essentially from playing these games you |
| 00:00:55 | 00:00:59 | get rewarded in crypto for example in |
| 00:00:57 | 00:01:01 | axi Infinity which is the biggest play |
| 00:00:59 | 00:01:03 | to earn of them all all some people are |
| 00:01:01 | 00:01:05 | earning 500 to 2 000 a month just by |
| 00:01:03 | 00:01:07 | playing the game which in places like |
| 00:01:05 | 00:01:09 | the Philippines or Venezuela this is a |
| 00:01:07 | 00:01:11 | very healthy full-time salary but after |
| 00:01:09 | 00:01:14 | watching some gameplay it looks about as |
| 00:01:11 | 00:01:16 | exciting as watching grass grow so I did |
| 00:01:14 | 00:01:17 | some research and found a new game that |
| 00:01:16 | 00:01:19 | people are apparently making hundreds of |
| 00:01:17 | 00:01:20 | dollars a day on so let's go check it |
| 00:01:19 | 00:01:22 | out by the way this video is not |
| 00:01:20 | 00:01:23 | sponsored I'm not affiliated with any of |
| 00:01:22 | 00:01:26 | these people I just wanted to try it out |
| 00:01:23 | 00:01:27 | let's get it the game I'll be playing is |
| 00:01:26 | 00:01:29 | called thetan Arena currently it's one |
| 00:01:27 | 00:01:31 | of the most popular play to earn games |
| 00:01:29 | 00:01:33 | and even hit number one on the Apple App |
| 00:01:31 | 00:01:35 | Store Apple App Store Apple App Store I |
| 00:01:33 | 00:01:37 | saw videos on YouTube of people making |
| 00:01:35 | 00:01:39 | 200 an hour playing this game so let's |
| 00:01:37 | 00:01:42 | jump in and give it a try so I jumped on |
| 00:01:39 | 00:01:44 | played this tutorial got the basics down |
| 00:01:42 | 00:01:46 | and went straight to absolutely bullying |
| 00:01:44 | 00:01:49 | kids on this game |
| 00:01:46 | 00:01:51 | see you later nerd |
| 00:01:51 | 00:01:56 | we got this how's it going here do this |
| 00:02:01 | 00:02:07 | 13 and one okay out I had to get rich |
| 00:02:05 | 00:02:09 | off that game right I had to all right |
| 00:02:07 | 00:02:11 | let's see how much money I made let's |
| 00:02:09 | 00:02:14 | see let's see let's see and VP yeah |
| 00:02:11 | 00:02:18 | level me up level me up |
| 00:02:14 | 00:02:18 | uh okay okay |
| 00:02:18 | 00:02:22 | it was here that I learned something |
| 00:02:20 | 00:02:24 | extremely important it's actually |
| 00:02:22 | 00:02:26 | impossible to make money with a free |
| 00:02:24 | 00:02:28 | character in this game the only way you |
| 00:02:26 | 00:02:30 | can earn money is if you have a premium |
| 00:02:28 | 00:02:31 | character which you could unlock by |
| 00:02:30 | 00:02:34 | reaching bronze level but that takes |
| 00:02:31 | 00:02:36 | days and days of grinding or you can |
| 00:02:34 | 00:02:38 | just buy one I just caught my first |
| 00:02:36 | 00:02:40 | character it cost me a hundred and |
| 00:02:38 | 00:02:41 | seventy dollars but now I can start |
| 00:02:40 | 00:02:43 | making money while playing this game |
| 00:02:41 | 00:02:45 | since this is a common character I get |
| 00:02:43 | 00:02:46 | about 10 tokens for every game that I |
| 00:02:45 | 00:02:48 | win I'm only allowed to play Eight Games |
| 00:02:46 | 00:02:50 | with this character every single day but |
| 00:02:48 | 00:02:52 | if I win every single game I can win 80 |
| 00:02:50 | 00:02:55 | tokens a day based on the current price |
| 00:02:52 | 00:02:57 | of this token I can make around 15 a day |
| 00:02:55 | 00:03:00 | with this character that is considering |
| 00:02:57 | 00:03:01 | I win every single game but this token |
| 00:03:00 | 00:03:03 | in the current market is currently at an |
| 00:03:01 | 00:03:05 | all-time low Just A Week Ago one of |
| 00:03:03 | 00:03:07 | these tokens was worth almost a dollar |
| 00:03:05 | 00:03:08 | so last week you could make around |
| 00:03:07 | 00:03:10 | seventy dollars a day with that |
| 00:03:08 | 00:03:11 | character anyways I'm gonna play my |
| 00:03:10 | 00:03:12 | eight games and I'll show you the |
| 00:03:11 | 00:03:14 | results so after playing the game for |
| 00:03:12 | 00:03:18 | about an hour I won six out of the eight |
| 00:03:14 | 00:03:20 | games netting a total of 87.5 THC which |
| 00:03:18 | 00:03:23 | at the current exchange rate comes out |
| 00:03:20 | 00:03:25 | to around 17 which for an hour of |
| 00:03:23 | 00:03:27 | playing is insane that's literally |
| 00:03:25 | 00:03:30 | double the minimum wage salary in |
| 00:03:27 | 00:03:32 | America but if we dig a bit deeper there |
| 00:03:30 | 00:03:34 | is a slight flaw in their economy first |
| 00:03:32 | 00:03:35 | off I can only play Eight Games a day |
| 00:03:34 | 00:03:38 | with this character which means that the |
| 00:03:35 | 00:03:40 | current price of THC with an extremely |
| 00:03:38 | 00:03:43 | high win rate of 75 percent it would |
| 00:03:40 | 00:03:45 | take me more than 15 days just to break |
| 00:03:43 | 00:03:47 | even on this purchase and the characters |
| 00:03:45 | 00:03:48 | that you buy have an overall limit to |
| 00:03:47 | 00:03:51 | how many games you can play before they |
| 00:03:48 | 00:03:53 | die for example my character can play |
| 00:03:51 | 00:03:55 | 229 games until it is completely |
| 00:03:53 | 00:03:56 | worthless at that point I can't use it |
| 00:03:55 | 00:03:58 | to earn money and it's not worth |
| 00:03:56 | 00:04:00 | anything on the marketplace which means |
| 00:03:58 | 00:04:03 | to break even on this character I would |
| 00:04:00 | 00:04:06 | have to win 95 out of 229 games which is |
| 00:04:03 | 00:04:08 | over a 40 win rate which as long as |
| 00:04:06 | 00:04:10 | you're not trash is kind of reasonable |
| 00:04:08 | 00:04:12 | but it's extremely slow unless you have |
| 00:04:10 | 00:04:14 | thousands of dollars to throw around on |
| 00:04:12 | 00:04:15 | characters or hundreds of hours a week |
| 00:04:14 | 00:04:18 | to play this game I don't think it's |
| 00:04:15 | 00:04:19 | worth your time at all so I've decided I |
| 00:04:18 | 00:04:21 | have got to go deep deeper into the |
| 00:04:19 | 00:04:22 | metaverse instead of playing these |
| 00:04:21 | 00:04:24 | little games it's time for me to |
| 00:04:22 | 00:04:25 | actually enter the virtual world and |
| 00:04:24 | 00:04:28 | currently the most popular one is called |
| 00:04:25 | 00:04:30 | decentraland and I have a foolproof |
| 00:04:28 | 00:04:32 | strategy to make my money back I put |
| 00:04:30 | 00:04:34 | some applications in and I found myself |
| 00:04:32 | 00:04:36 | a job Yes you heard that right I will be |

| 00:06:03 | 00:06:07 | it's a really great salary I mean I |
| 00:06:05 | 00:06:09 | think obviously kind of depending on |
| 00:06:07 | 00:06:10 | where you live as well I think for now |
| 00:06:09 | 00:06:12 | what sounds more fun to me is actually |
| 00:06:10 | 00:06:14 | playing some poker so maybe you can give |
| 00:06:12 | 00:06:16 | me a quick rundown of how these tables |
| 00:06:14 | 00:06:18 | work and then I can go play some games |
| 00:06:16 | 00:06:21 | myself let's go check them out yeah cool |
| 00:06:18 | 00:06:23 | all right let's jump on here yeah so |
| 00:06:21 | 00:06:25 | there's already someone in here so |
| 00:06:23 | 00:06:27 | you're all right here we go all right |
| 00:06:25 | 00:06:29 | we're in let's do it so what are these |
| 00:06:27 | 00:06:30 | ships is this real money what are we |
| 00:06:29 | 00:06:32 | doing here the real money is in the |
| 00:06:30 | 00:06:34 | sense that you have to buy the wearable |
| 00:06:32 | 00:06:36 | and then once you get that you get |
| 00:06:34 | 00:06:38 | allocated |
| 00:06:36 | 00:06:39 | um available chips so if you have one |
| 00:06:38 | 00:06:42 | wearable you just say for example you'll |
| 00:06:39 | 00:06:44 | get three thousand with these chips you |
| 00:06:42 | 00:06:45 | can complete your challenges first of |
| 00:06:44 | 00:06:46 | all so in the bottom right of the screen |
| 00:06:45 | 00:06:48 | you'll see the three different |
| 00:06:46 | 00:06:49 | challenges |
| 00:06:48 | 00:06:52 | um the first one for me is see the turn |
| 00:06:49 | 00:06:54 | 15 times I'm not sure what it is for |
| 00:06:52 | 00:06:56 | it's the same for me yeah it should be |
| 00:06:54 | 00:06:58 | an easy enough challenge to complete and |
| 00:06:56 | 00:06:59 | if you do see it 15 times you get |
| 00:06:58 | 00:07:02 | rewarded with this which is you know if |
| 00:06:59 | 00:07:04 | Isis just say 10 cents that's 2.50 right |
| 00:07:02 | 00:07:05 | there that you get rewarded um that |
| 00:07:04 | 00:07:08 | might not sound like a lot but it does |
| 00:07:05 | 00:07:09 | start to add up and you get more ice as |
| 00:07:08 | 00:07:11 | you complete more difficult challenges |
| 00:07:09 | 00:07:13 | basically the more you win the more ice |
| 00:07:11 | 00:07:15 | you get you only need to buy the nft |
| 00:07:13 | 00:07:17 | wearable you don't need to put a bunch |
| 00:07:15 | 00:07:19 | of money in in terms of gambling each |
| 00:07:17 | 00:07:21 | hand yeah that's right that's right but |
| 00:07:19 | 00:07:23 | uh unfortunately I don't think I'm going |
| 00:07:21 | 00:07:24 | to be working at the casino today I |
| 00:07:23 | 00:07:26 | think think I'm gonna actually play |
| 00:07:24 | 00:07:28 | around on this table a little bit |
| 00:07:26 | 00:07:30 | absolutely sounds good thankfully the |
| 00:07:28 | 00:07:32 | homie RB actually loaned me one of his |
| 00:07:30 | 00:07:33 | wearables so I could try the casino out |
| 00:07:32 | 00:07:35 | for free tonight without having to spend |
| 00:07:33 | 00:07:36 | any money so to finish out this video |
| 00:07:35 | 00:07:38 | I'm gonna go grind it out in the casino |
| 00:07:36 | 00:07:40 | try to complete all the daily challenges |
| 00:07:38 | 00:07:44 | and I'll let you know how much money I |
| 00:07:40 | 00:07:45 | made yeah yeah yeah hey oh I'm hyped |
| 00:07:44 | 00:07:47 | right now after playing ice poker for |
| 00:07:45 | 00:07:49 | about two hours I literally did The |
| 00:07:47 | 00:07:51 | Impossible I've never played poker a day |
| 00:07:49 | 00:07:54 | in my life but somehow I was able to win |
| 00:07:51 | 00:07:56 | over 2 000 chips and climb to the top |
| 00:07:54 | 00:07:58 | five percentile in this Lobby which |
| 00:07:56 | 00:07:59 | gives me a 2X multiplier on all the ice |
| 00:07:58 | 00:08:01 | that I earned it took me a while to |
| 00:07:59 | 00:08:02 | finish all the challenges and I was |
| 00:08:01 | 00:08:04 | really concerned about the last one |
| 00:08:02 | 00:08:06 | which was getting a full house but on my |
| 00:08:04 | 00:08:09 | very last hand I ended up getting a full |
| 00:08:06 | 00:08:12 | house which brought me in 140 ice I got |
| 00:08:09 | 00:08:15 | a full house bringing my grand total for |
| 00:08:12 | 00:08:17 | about two hours of playing to 485 ice |
| 00:08:15 | 00:08:19 | which based on the current market is |
| 00:08:17 | 00:08:22 | around 43 US dollars for just two hours |
| 00:08:19 | 00:08:24 | of playing poker that felt crazy this is |
| 00:08:22 | 00:08:26 | without a doubt the best play to earned |
| 00:08:24 | 00:08:28 | game I've ever seen though I wonder if I |
| 00:08:26 | 00:08:30 | would say the same thing if I was down |
| 00:08:28 | 00:08:31 | so we learned that it actually is |
| 00:08:30 | 00:08:33 | possible to earn a living in the |
| 00:08:31 | 00:08:35 | metaverse you could work a nine to five |
| 00:08:33 | 00:08:36 | just like in the real world or you can |
