Our sample period spans from 7 August 2015 to 25 January 2019.

Hundreds of thousands of NFTs of user avatars or accessories have already been minted on the platform, where users can also sell the goods they’ve purchased with in-game currency for actual cash, part of a broader “play-to-earn” mechanic which rewards users for investing time in the platform. Users can choose to navigate all of this without ever touching cryptocurrencies. Linden says that Mythical Games will continue to get “deeper and deeper” into crypto mechanics, but notes that they’re looking to tread carefully as they gauge where to stick to conventions and where to push the limits.
