GM.

Many of you are new to the Tegro newsletter. Buckle in for a short but thrilling ride.

Every week, our newsletter gives your a quick overview of what’s happening in Web3 gaming. Whether you’re a gamer, game dev, investor, trader, founder, or a curious stray, you’ll find something of value.

We stay away from hype, never provide investment advice, and always insist that you remain vigilant about projects. Most importantly, we say things as we see it.

The world of crypto (and Web3 gaming) is filled with promises, many of them empty. And to get you to buy into those promises of great riches is the hype train powered by incentives, influencers, and ignorance.

It may sound like it, but I’m not a boomer, FYI. I’m a pragmatist who has a strong belief that there is no such thing as a get rich quick’ scheme. You see, the financial and economic system doesn’t work that way.

There are ways in which a few people can generate immense wealth very quickly.

  • risky bets that pay off; this is mostly luck
  • getting in early on a project; luck + network/connects
  • profiting off others; usually through rug pulls, hacks, scams

Then there’s the very hard way - building something valuable. It requires hard work + smart work + luck + network/connects + privilege. And even then, it’s rare for anyone to become wealthy very quickly. All the world’s wealthiest people took at least a decade to get where they are.

Remember, it is impossible for everyone to get rich quick. If it were possible, where would the money come from? Before you decide to put all your money into a project or game that promises you ‘high earning potential’, give it a serious thought.
