From Fwiz to Crypto Whiz: How a Gaming Legend Became a Web3 Visionary 🌈

GM Guys and Gals,

Have you ever heard of someone leaving the world of gaming and esports to dive into the deep end of crypto? Well, if you haven't, let us introduce you to Ryan Wyatt, the President of Polygon Labs.

Known by his gamer tag "Fwiz," Wyatt was a prominent figure in the early Call of Duty esports scene, even co-writing a book about the popular esports team OpTic Gaming. He then went on to launch and grow YouTube Gaming as the company's Global Head of Gaming.

But why the sudden shift to crypto, you might ask? Wyatt said he was drawn to the idea of digital ownership and recognized the growing desire for people to have more autonomy and control over their digital items. And that's when he discovered the wonders of blockchain technology.

And while some gamers may have rejected NFTs, Wyatt believes that blockchain-based games can potentially give players the level of control they crave, with broader advantages.

But what sets Wyatt apart from other crypto enthusiasts is his desire to work with creators and builders across a wide array of verticals, not just gaming.

He believes that the entire world of Web3 is interconnected and wants to help elevate Polygon by bringing his experience from the Web2 world.

And he's not just in it for the money or the glory, Wyatt genuinely believes that the next Jeff Bezos will come from Web3. Who knows, maybe they're already building on Polygon as we speak!

So, fellas let's keep an eye out for the next tech giant or luminary that emerges from this exciting industry. And who knows, maybe we'll all be building on Polygon one day too.
