Hello everyone. Welcome to State of the Nation.

episode 9. David and I are super excited about the State of the Nation today.

We're going to talk about what's happening like we usually do,

related to big picture stuff, drops and insights and action items, and right after we talk about our

sponsors, I'm going to mention a few other updates today as well as the schedule.

But David, why don't we start with our sponsors? You want to kick it up?

Yeah, so I was playing with one of our sponsors games last Friday

and a little bit this weekend.

Gods Unchained.

For those of you that played Magic the Gathering,

for those of you that played Harstone, Yugio,

this is a game just like that, but instead the cards that you own in the game are

ERC 721 tokens on ethereal.

And so the big problem with Magic the Gathering was that it was physical so you had to be across from a person with other physical cards to play them.

So that kind of sucked.

And then there's Harstone that came around so you could play over to their computer but then you never owned your

actual cards because Blizzard just owned them on a centralized database.

What God's Unchain does is they have the best of both worlds right where

you own your cards because they're digital assets

on the Ethereum, but you can play on the online medium

that the world is now turning to.

So it's a really fantastic game,
