How a Blockchain Game Turned $10 Into $12,000

A couple of years ago, I wanted to understand cryptocurrencies and began doing some research. I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of different coins. Why is one coin stronger or more valuable than another coin? I had no idea -- and I still don't.

In the course of my crypto research, I discovered a video game on the blockchain called Splinterlands. The basic game is free to play, although you really, really, really want to spend the $10 to make the entire game available. Once you do that, you start acquiring ownership in the game's monster cards, which are non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that exist on the internet. And what's exciting for investors is that these cards appreciate in value, like comic books or baseball cards.
