The Business Trendsetter Podcast

Why Gaming is the Future – And Crypto Is Not

Episode Summary

This podcast overviews why deeply understanding trends should define your focus.

Episode Notes

The world is abuzz about the World Cup.  But esports is actually much, much bigger than soccer – or the NFL, NBA or MLB!  Do you realize that gaming is a $200B business?  And while all major team sports are flat to declining, Gaming is growing at 25-50% PER YEAR!  This podcast overviews how to interpret the data so you can understand just how big a trend Gaming is, and why this should impact your investments.  

Simultaneously, the long fad of crypto is under attack due to the failure of FTX, incarceration of Sam Bankman-Fried, and trading halts at exchanges like Binance.  This podcast overviews how the same sort of analysis that spots Gaming as an important trend shows with clarity that crypto – despite the media hype – is a fad.  And a fad quickly losing interest.

Thinking points:

• Are you using trends to guide your investments, or merely relying on history?
• Are you able to tell the difference between trends and fads?
• Did you let hype influence you to invest in crypto?  Or to think soccer is a fast growing sport?
• Are you using high growth in sectors like gaming make an influence or where you invest in growth?
