It's the crypto-NFT match made in heaven
that's built for years of success.
Which two projects am I talking about?
Well, it's none other than the layer 2 behemoth Polygon
and, of course, one of the top metaverses and blockchain games,
Sandbox.
You're going to find out today why Sandbox and Polygon go together better
than a peanut butter and mustard sandwich.
Let's get it!

Alright, guys. So my name is Ben.
And today we're going to be taking a look at why Polygon and Sandbox go together
than a peanut butter and tomato sandwich.
Okay. So peanut butter and mustard or a peanut butter and tomato sandwich,
it's a low bar.
But seriously,
these two coins,
these two projects working together will supercharge the metaverse gaming space
for years to come.
They win when it comes to the thing that people care about the most
when it comes to blockchain networks.
They're fast.
And they're cheap.
I don't mean cheap like every time the waiter comes to bring a check,
you alligator arm.
No.
I mean the cost per transaction is extremely low with Polygon.
So since Sandbox has integrated Polygon,
guess what?
Now, Sandbox transactions are just as cheap.
Polygon and Sandbox also have expansive support and development
that are bar none in this industry.
Alright. Now, let's talk about what Polygon's secret sauce is.
And just remember, make sure to focus so you don't get lost in the sauce.
So Polygon has been around since 2017.
The ticker is MATIC.
And the project was originally called Matic.
It was launched on the Binance Launchpad.
But since it's been around for so long,
the interesting thing here to look at is that their pool of developers has grown significantly.
Why?
Well, Polygon is the No. 1 layer 2 blockchain
on top of the No. 1 layer blockchain,
which is, of course, Ethereum.
Ethereum is known for having a high amount of developers.
Now, Ethereum uses Solidity as its smart contract language.
Polygon also uses Solidity as its smart contract language.
There's not really a difference in the smart contracts.
However, Polygon runs barely modified Go Ethereum,
which is, as the name suggests, a slightly modified version of the Ethereum mainnet.
So there's so many crossover opportunities
for developers with Ethereum to move over to Polygon.
Polygon is an exploding ecosystem
that's trying to partner and work with major, major, major companies.
At this point, it seems like it's collecting more partnerships
than any other crypto project outside of Chainlink, of course.
It's partnered with everyone.
When I was a kid, I used to watch Reading Rainbow.
And LeVar Burton used to tell us after he did a book review,
"Don't take my word for it."
And this is the same.
Don't take my word for it.
Take Mark Cuban's word for it.
He's a big investor into Polygon.
A lot of people thought Polygon might disappear with the Merge.
That was never going to happen.
After all the remaining spots on the roadmap for Ethereum 2.0 are complete,
well, now, you're going to have faster transactions on Ethereum.
But you're always going to need faster transactions.
That's where Polygon comes in.
Polygon has only enhanced what it's doing since the Merge
and will continue to do so.
Let's get into Sandbox.
What gives Sandbox an edge by itself?
Not even talking about Polygon and Sandbox working together.
Well, one major company behind Sandbox that's a major player in the gaming space
is Animoca Brands.
Everything they touch seems to turn to gold.
Sandbox also hit the market at a really interesting time.
While it was announced and people could start building on it in the bear market,
it was really the bull market where things started to take off.
And now Sandbox was closer to having an actual game,
or at least some screenshots that people could see,
while many metaverse gaming projects didn't have any.
They hit the market at the perfect time.
And they also have a super aggressive roadmap,
which is great usually for price speculation in bull runs.
Of course, that's not financial advice.
But we saw that play out in 2020 and 2021.
So not only were they able to show screenshots,
but Sandbox actually, last year, launched the alpha version of their game.
The quests were limited,
but people got the point of what the Sandbox world is going to look like.
It's so much further ahead
than a lot of the blockchain games out there in metaverses.
One reason is because of the way they use pixels within their art.
It makes it much easier than realistic-looking imagery on video games.
Because of this,
Sandbox has been able to get a bunch of great partnerships,
including Paris Hilton.
"That's hot."
Also, Atari, Adidas and even The Walking Dead.
So this is really just the tip of the spear, to say, in Web3.
This Web3 revolution is coming.
And there's really nothing anyone can do to stop it.
Traditional gamers have pushed back against Web3.
And I get it. I understand.
The quality of blockchain gaming does not match the quality of next gen consoles right now.
But when they do,
the gamers are going to come over in mass.
And that's where NFTs and their future come into play.
ETH and MATIC-based NFTs are going to be added to Sandbox as player avatars.
So imagine if a game like Fortnite, for instance,
if every skin was an NFT that users could buy or trade to other users.
That means even when you get tired of playing a game,
just like a good old GameStop,
where you would always go in and sell your games back to them
for almost nothing.
But you know what?
If you trade in 10 games,
you might be able to have enough money for one new game.
You weren't going to be playing the other ones anyways.
That's kind of the idea with these NFTs.
And, of course, some will be very valuable, and you'll want to hold on to them.
You won't want to trade them, or it might be a game you want to play forever.
But this is where blockchain gaming is going.
And it can't go far without Sandbox and Polygon being mentioned.
And virtual real estate is really starting to blow up.
It rose in the bull run.
It's gone down now.
But it's finding a floor.
Maybe you'll miss the opportunity to get virtual real estate
in metaverses like Sandbox or Decentraland.
But the way things are shaping up now
is that Sandbox is going to become the standard for value in digital real estate assets.
It's going to be the bar setter.
Now, if you want to play come Sandbox,
that's cool.
The BitSquad is going to be there.
We actually have a 12x12 and a 3x3 space in Sandbox
that we've been working on for years now.
The quality of what we've built in Sandbox with our Digital City
and our BitSquad and BitBoy avatars
is nothing short of amazing.
We've already got quests built in.
And as soon as it's playable from the Sandbox side,
we'll make sure to let you guys know.
I can't wait to see you in The Sandbox.
So while I can't tell you if these are great buys right now at current prices,
what I can tell you is where they're at and where they've been.
SAND has a supply of 3 billion.
And right now it's sitting at 78¢.
Its previous all-time high was $8.44 on November 25, 2021.
MATIC right now is priced at 83¢.
And it actually has a supply of 10 billion.
Its all-time high?
$2.92 on December 27, 2021.
So both of these projects have seen much higher highs than they're at today.
A lot of people would look at that and see potential.
If these coins even made it back to their previous all-time highs,
then that would end up being a great ROI.
Now, I can't tell you what to put in your portfolio.
And honestly, I don't want to.
All I want to do is tell you what we're doing here at BitBoy Crypto.
And Sandbox and Polygon are two of our top picks for this year in our portfolio.
And when I say this year, I mean to accumulate.
We don't expect the prices to go up drastically this year.
However, as we get into 2024, we could potentially see an explosion.
I've given you a ton of reasons why these two coins are in my portfolio
and why we expect big things from them.
But the reality is,
these two coins have shown with their ecosystems and support and communities
that they're going to be around.
And Sandbox is most likely going to be the No. 1 metaverse
for a significant time to come.
Why?
Well, as I mentioned earlier, it works with pixels,
and it's easier to produce and easier to store
than games in metaverses that are much more lifelike.
So because of that,
it's going to have a massive head start off the block.
Alright, guys. That's all I got for today's video.
Be blessed.
BitBoy out.
