Why did you decide to invest in DeRace?
Right after the first call with the DeRace team, we decided to invest in DeRace with no hesitation. First of all, the DeRace team has very extensive experience in the blockchain, horse racing, and gambling industries. Secondly, we believe virtual horse racing is a perfect use case of NFT. Virtual horse racing has huge market potential and DeRace has all it takes to unleash its full potential. Lastly, if you compare DeRace with Zed.Run, DeRace is more attractive to investors. DeRace is just one step away from launch and based on the current valuation it has a very promising ROI. We believe DeRace is a hidden gem in this market.
What are your current predictions for the NFT and crypto markets in 2021?
We believe there are signs of a bubble in the current NFT market, especially in the field of NFT art. Most NFT artworks do not have any collection value, and will eventually end up with a situation where no one wants to buy it after the bubble burst. However, we are very optimistic about the adoption of NFT in the gaming industry. Traditional game players are the easiest group to be converted into the blockchain industry. They are smart and open to the concepts of NFT, Wallet, Crypto Exchange, etc. With more and more traditional game players adopting NFT, the NFT horse racing market will grow exponentially.
How do you think DeRace can revolutionize both gaming and gambling markets?
Powered by blockchain technology, DeRace has made horse racing fair and transparent, and most importantly, protects customers‘ privacy. DeRace has a set of unique play-to-earn features, which give users an opportunity to make a profit by participating in activities like breeding and trading NFT horses, participating in racing, betting, and more. Leveraging on blockchain technology, participants will no longer be restricted by geographical and fiat payment gateway. Players all over the world can enjoy extremely low transaction fees and instant settlement.
What is your most anticipated feature in DeRace?
As an investment firm, we are interested in all profit-making activities. Undoubtedly, DeRace’s breeding and horse-trading is a new investment opportunity.
What are your expectations from DeRace for 2021?
We hope that DeRace can be launched as soon as possible and partnered with numerous IPs to sell more limited edition NFT Horses. We firmly believe DeRace will become No1 in NFT horse racing.
What are you going to name your DeRace horse?
We probably will call it LDFSA as it means LD Full Speed Ahead.
