Founder Profile
Gameflip Co-founder JT Nguyen on Gaming and the Blockchain
If you’ve ever played a video game or even mobile game, you’re probably familiar with microtransactions. They're little digital assets you can buy to give you a boost, identify you as part of a team, or even just change your avatar’s look (like the Lollipop Hammer in Candy Crush). Microtransactions are becoming an increasingly popular business model, especially in games that are free to play. But once those items are purchased, they only exist on your account and may even be locked to the device you purchased them on.Gameflip has proposed a solution: a digital marketplace where gamers can buy and sell their digital assets using the blockchain. We interviewed co-founder and CEO JT Nguyen about his inspiration for starting the company and goals for the company in the long term.
