Fun Is Critical to Making Decentralized Games a Success – Cryptopia CEO Sangho Grolleman

Sangho Grolleman serves as the CEO of Cryptopia, bringing with him a wealth of experience in the cryptocurrency realm since 2018. He recently joined the Bitcoin.com News Podcast to talk about the decentralized gaming market why making sure games are first and foremost fun to play is critical for success.

His diverse skill set encompasses entrepreneurship, digital marketing, full stack development, teaching, and training, making him a multifaceted expert in the field.

Sangho holds a strong belief in the transformative potential of Web3 technology. In his view, Web3 offers a distinctive opportunity to rectify the shortcomings of its predecessor, Web2. He advocates for returning power to the people, emphasizing the importance of empowering individuals to regain control over their digital identities. Furthermore, he champions the idea of granting gamers ownership rights over their in-game items, ensuring they receive a fair share of the profits.
