Hey! Brothers, do you remember how it felt when AXS prices skyrocketed from 0.2 cents to $165 for the first time? I was totally blown away! The numbers on my phone screen were jumping wildly as I sat on my broken sofa in the rental house, staring at the candlestick chart, trembling like Parkinson’s, with only one thought in my mind: I’m going to make it! And what happened? I didn’t sell everything, missed out on the biggest profit wave of my life. Looking back now, my heart still bleeds, and I dream about that bull market every night, waking up with my pillow soaked in sweat.

I completely fell into the AxieInfinity pit in 2021. I was just curious at first, hearing that you could earn money while playing games, so I downloaded the app to try. Who knew I’d get hooked? Those little Axies were insanely cute—raising them, battling, completing quests—like caring for electronic pets, but you could actually cash out! I invested a few hundred dollars to buy my first team. At first, I lost badly, SLP prices collapsed, and I couldn’t afford to breed Axies. But I kept at it, grinding daily quests and selling small monsters to slowly break even. Later, I actually started making money—enough to pay a few months’ rent. That was the first time I felt crypto wasn’t a scam, but something that could change lives. Hearing stories from Filipino players in the community about supporting their families with Axie made me feel fired up. I even secretly helped newbies buy their first Axie, feeling like a big shot.
Of course, the bear market later crushed me. In 2022, AXS plummeted below $1 from the sky. I watched my account shrink by 90%, and my mental state completely collapsed. I kept seeing FUD on social media—P2E is a bubble, Axie is dead, players have all left. I even thought about selling everything and quitting, feeling like a complete idiot and a sucker. SLP inflation exploded, the burn mechanism couldn’t keep up, the game economy collapsed—I was so angry I wanted to smash my keyboard. But I didn’t run. Why? Because this game was no longer just a game; it had become part of my life. Ronin chain was super fast, gas fees were low, and although Origins mode was hard to get into, the more I played, the more it felt right. Seeing people lining up offline to get free Axies, stubbornly downloading despite slow internet, I suddenly understood: Axie isn’t just a money-making tool; it’s the first window for many into Web3.
Now it’s January 2026. AXS is hovering around $2, recently pumped 70%, with over 380M+ in trading volume. The new bAXS mechanism launched, rewards shifted to staking, which feels tailor-made for long-term players. Some criticize it as a scam for those relying on the game for income, but I see it as a structural change to reduce supply and increase value. Sky Mavis isn’t dead; they’re still fighting. Homeland’s new gameplay and Jio’s partnership have huge potential. I believe GameFi is making a comeback. It’s not about getting rich overnight, but about holding through the bear market, losing big money, yet becoming more reluctant to sell as time goes on. From newbies who got wrecked to now staking and earning passively, helping others build small projects in the community—I’m truly grateful that Axie helped me go from a gambling dog to someone with a bit of faith.
If you guys also want to taste the P2E experience, don’t just look at the K-line—download Axie and give it a try. It’s not gambling; it’s a project that gets you hooked, where losing still feels worth it, and the more you play, the more you develop feelings for it. I’ve said enough, and now I’m itching to buy more…$AXS
