By now, #Bitcoin has grown to the point where #crypto investors do not expect very large returns from it and are now looking toward altcoins that could provide the kind of returns they seek. However, with thousands of altcoins circulating in the crypto market, it can become quite hard to pick the coins that could end up doing well.So here are five altcoins that are well-positioned to do well in the next bull market that could potentially 20x your crypto portfolio.Lido DAO (LDO) has grown rapidly to dominate the #Ethereum liquid staking game, accounting for over 30% of all staked ETH in LSD protocols. This has brought immense attention to its native token, LDO, which on its own has also seen a good run over the years.However, at just a $1.4 billion market cap, LDO is still what can be referred to as undervalued given its standing in the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector. A bull market could easily see the market cap of LDO cross $30 billion, which would be a more than 20x return on investment from its current $1.61 price level.#Arbitrum (ARB) features on this list because of the network’s performance over the years. Of all the Ethereum Layer 2 networks currently in the #game , Arbitrum leads the pack both in terms of Total Value Locked (TVL) and daily trade volume.This puts it ahead of the likes of Optimism (OP), Avalanche (AVAX), and Polygon (MATIC), all of which have been in the game just as long. However, of the 4 leading Ethereum L2s, Arbitrum has the lowest market cap. At $1.08 billion, it is yet to see the same kind of surge its competitors saw in 2021 due to the token launching in the bear market. Arbitrum’s performance even in a bear market shows that it could easily be a top 10 cryptocurrency in the bull market.Currently, when crypto investors think of NFTs and DeFi on the Bitcoin network, they think of Stacks (STX). This is because Stacks is a Layer 2 network that allows the usage of smart contracts on Bitcoin. This means developers are able to build protocols as well as launch NFT collections on the Bitcoin network using Stacks (STX).STX’s market cap is still very low at just $715 million especially given what it enables developers to do on the Bitcoin network. This offering makes sure that Stacks is always on the radar of investors, making it a billion-dollar token that could easily bring 20x returns.Kava (KAVA) has been building up into mainstream adoption despite competition with the biggest networks in the space. This Layer 1 blockchain is taking another route to interoperability by combining the best parts of the Ethereum and the Cosmos networks.Ethereum is known for its developer power, enabling developers to build pretty much anything, but still held down by slow transactions and high fees. On the other hand, Cosmos has some of the highest speeds and interoperability and when both of these are combined, it presents basically a supercharged Layer 1 blockchain equipped to handle almost anything.Its native token KAVA is already one of the most watched Layer 1 native tokens, and at a $500 million market cap, it’s fair to say that this altcoin is far from done.With so many centralized exchanges running into issues such as hacks and bankruptcy, more crypto investors are choosing to self-custody their coins. The top 2 self-custody wallets that also allow users to take advantage of DeFi and NFTs are MetaMask and Trust Wallet. Since only the latter currently has a token, it has been able to corner that market share for itself.Trust Wallet’s native TWT token rose in popularity when the FTX crypto exchange crashed in 2022 and has not stopped. Going into the bull market, self-custody is expected to be the main avenue to store coins and TWT’s current $411 million market cap could quickly turn into an $8 billion market cap in the bull market.

Square Enix Holdings, a major #game company, recently released its financial results for the fiscal year ending on March 23. In their financial briefing materials, they highlighted their blockchain business as an important driver for future growth. The company emphasized the need to be a pioneer in this field to achieve exceptional results and announced plans for global investment activities, business verification, and monetization through game releases. The acceleration of blockchain game development was also listed as a priority policy for the upcoming fiscal year ending in March 2012.

During the fiscal year that ended in March 2011, Square Enix’s net profit was approximately 49.2 billion yen, marking a 3.4% decline from the previous year. Sales also experienced a 6.0% year-on-year decrease, amounting to around 343.2 billion yen, while operating income dropped by 25.2% to approximately 44.3 billion yen. The company attributed the decrease in sales to a decline in revenue from new titles, citing titles like “OUTRIDERS” as contributing factors.

In terms of their blockchain initiatives, Square Enix introduced two NFT-related projects, namely “Asset Million Arthur” and “SYMBIOGENESIS.” They revealed that the 6th #NFT of Asset Million Arthur was made available for sale on April 23 and has seen strong demand, with over 75% of the NFTs sold and the sets and characters completely sold out. The cumulative number of issued NFTs has reached 140,000, and the game has achieved the top ranking in transaction volume by item token on the LINE Blockchain.

Regarding the verification of business using public blockchain, Square Enix expressed its intention to leverage the expertise gained from the domestic limited asset million Arthur project to explore and address the challenges of Web3 business.

Overall, Square Enix remains committed to pursuing blockchain opportunities and leveraging them to drive future growth while addressing any issues and exploring new avenues in the #blockchain gaming industry.

The dawn of mobile gaming in 1990 marked the beginning of a new era in entertainment. While the technology of the time was far from what we have today, it laid the foundation for the gaming revolution that would follow. These early mobile games may seem simple by today's standards, but they were the pioneers that captivated the hearts of millions. Let's take a nostalgic journey back to the year 1990 and explore the mobile gaming gems that captured our imaginations.

1. **Snake**: A simple yet addictive game where players controlled a growing snake that devoured dots on the screen. It was the ultimate test of reflexes and strategy, with players aiming to achieve the longest snake possible without crashing into the walls or themselves.

2. **Tetris**: The iconic puzzle game that tasked players with fitting falling blocks together to create complete lines. Its straightforward concept and addictive gameplay made it an instant hit, even on the limited screens of early mobile phones.

3. **Space Impact**: A space shooter game that came pre-installed on select Nokia phones. Players piloted a spaceship, battling against waves of enemy ships and obstacles. Its inclusion showcased the potential of mobile gaming, even on basic monochrome displays.

4. **Breakout**: A classic arcade game where players used a paddle to bounce a ball and break bricks on the screen. It was a test of precision and timing, providing hours of entertainment on mobile devices that were primarily designed for communication.

5. **Pac-Man**: The beloved arcade game found its way onto mobile screens, allowing players to guide the titular character through mazes while avoiding colorful ghosts. Despite the limitations of early mobile technology, the charm of Pac-Man remained intact.

6. **Centipede**: This shoot 'em up game had players facing off against a relentless centipede and other insects. It brought the excitement of arcade gaming to the palm of your hand, showcasing the potential of mobile platforms as gaming devices.

7. **Bounce**: A platformer that featured a red ball navigating various levels filled with obstacles and challenges. It demonstrated the adaptability of mobile phones for diverse gaming experiences beyond the traditional arcade genres.

8. **Blockade**: Similar to Snake, Blockade challenged players to guide a snake around obstacles on the screen. It put a twist on the original concept, offering a new take on the classic formula.

9. **Brickout**: Inspired by Breakout, this game had players using a ball to eliminate bricks and clear the screen. Its simplicity made it accessible to players of all ages, contributing to its popularity.

10. **Simon**: A memory game that required players to repeat a sequence of lights and sounds. Despite its basic mechanics, Simon tapped into the challenge of memorization and showcased the potential of mobile devices for brain-teasing experiences.

These mobile gaming gems of 1990 may have been modest in terms of graphics and gameplay, but they ignited a passion for gaming on the go. They laid the foundation for the industry that would evolve over the decades, eventually giving rise to the sophisticated mobile games we enjoy today. As we look back at these early pioneers, we're reminded of the simple joys they brought us and the remarkable journey that gaming has taken since.

Today, the news that GTA 6 will be built on the Play-to-Earn model is being actively promoted on the crypto-internet. Rumor has it that in-game money will be transferable into cryptocurrency. They say that BTC could be one of the crypto-assets in the game;

I think if Rock Star releases its GTA6coin, it could easily make it into the top 10 coins;

Since GTA is a very popular game and  the fifth version of the game was bought by more than 175,000,000 people, with the right tokenomics you can make very popular their own coin;

And in general, with so many users, you can attract very active attention to all crypto. For example, Binance has 50 million fewer users than people who bought GTA 5.

In case the rumors are confirmed and GTA 6 has a Play-to-Earn model, do you believe in the possibility of the next bullrun based on attracting hundreds of millions of new users to crypto this way?
