Here's What Happened Instead [Watch (HLS stream): A Crypto Game Promised to Lift Filipinos Out of Poverty. Here's What Happened Instead](https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/an5ZK4kt.m3u8) (2:28)  _Published 2022-07-22. Samerson Orias was earning about 4,000 pesos a month (about $80, a little less than half the national minimum wage in the Philippines) making takoyaki—Japanese octopus balls. His friend told him he and others were pocketing up to $600 a month playing Axie Infinity, a game fueled by cryptocurrency and NFTs._ Description, summary, key points, chapters, key quotes, questions and transcript, where present, were produced automatically from the video or its captions and were not reviewed. ## Summary The video examines how Axie Infinity, a blockchain-based game that lets players earn cryptocurrency, spread among young Filipinos who were underemployed after the COVID-19 pandemic. It describes early earnings that helped players cover household expenses, followed by the collapse of the game's economy as its tokens lost value. Player Samerson Orias and others describe anger, anxiety and disappointment after leaving the game. The video frames the story as a cautionary tale about crypto's rhetoric of changing the world. ## Key points - Thousands of young Filipinos started playing Axie Infinity last year, a game where players train and battle monsters against other players, compared to Pokemon. (00:00) - Unlike Pokemon, Axie Infinity lets players earn money from each battle; it is built on the blockchain and pays players in cryptocurrency. (00:13) - Much of the Filipino workforce has been severely underemployed since the COVID-19 pandemic, and Axie was described as a desperately needed escape hatch. (00:23) - Many players initially earned hundreds of dollars a month, which one player used to pay water bills, electricity bills and his mother's maintenance. (00:29) - Fourteen months later, Orias and many other Filipino players have exited the game, nursing anger, anxiety and disappointment. (00:52) - In the past six months the Axie economy collapsed, with its in-game crypto tokens decreasing in value to fractions of what they used to be. (00:52) - In November, research firm Navic reported average Axie player earnings had dropped below the Filipino minimum wage, and they fell further after this year's crypto crash. (01:19) - Orias and others say Axie Infinity reinforced predatory systems and gave them false hope, leaving them back to square one after the game's ruins. (01:54) ## Chapters - [00:00 to 00:23] Axie Infinity and how it works. Introduces the blockchain game popular among young Filipinos and explains that players can earn cryptocurrency from battles. - [00:23 to 00:52] Underemployment and early earnings. Explains that Axie offered an escape from pandemic-era underemployment and shows a player describing how earnings covered household bills. - [00:52 to 01:32] Economic collapse and falling earnings. Describes players leaving the game, the collapse of the token economy and earnings falling below minimum wage. - [01:32 to 02:28] Cautionary tale and aftermath. Presents a player's account of stress and the closing view that the game gave false hope and left players where they started. ## Key quotes - [00:37] Samerson Orias: "The first thing I'm happy is that I have a great help because I have paid money for my expenses here in my house." - [00:46] Samerson Orias: "The water bills, electricity bills, and my mom's maintenance." - [01:32] Samerson Orias: "Pagtagal, paunti-unti nakikita ko, napapansin ko, nanghihina ako. Isapagbuyat ko, yung talagang stress ng pag-iisip ko kung paano ko gagawin yan. Dun ako nanghihina." - [01:44] narrator: "The story of Orias and Axie Infinity serves as a cautionary tale for crypto and its bombastic rhetoric about changing the world." ## Questions this video answers - What is Axie Infinity and how do players earn money from it? [00:00] - Why did so many Filipinos start playing Axie Infinity? [00:23] - How did early Axie players use the money they earned? [00:37] - What happened to the Axie Infinity economy and player earnings? [00:52] - What did Navic report about average Axie player earnings? [01:19] - How do players like Samerson Orias describe the aftermath of the game?

(Photo Illustration by Rafael Henrique/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images) Rafael Henrique—SOPA Images/LightRocket /Getty Images by [Kevin Simauchi and Hannah Miller / Bloomberg](https://time.com/author/bloomberg/) ## Kevin Simauchi and Hannah Miller / Bloomberg Contributor Nov 28, 2022 4:26 PM UTC BlockFi Inc. filed for bankruptcy, the latest crypto firm to collapse in the wake of crypto exchange FTX’s rapid downfall. BlockFi said in a statement that it will use the Chapter 11 process to “focus on recovering all obligations owed to BlockFi by its counterparties, including FTX and associated corporate entities,” adding that recoveries are likely to be delayed by FTX’s own bankruptcy. Chapter 11 bankruptcy allows a company to continue operating while working out a plan to repay creditors. The petition, filed in New Jersey, lists BlockFi’s assets and liabilities at between $1 billion and $10 billion each. The company said in the statement that it had around $257 million of cash on hand, and is starting an “internal plan to considerably reduce expenses, including labor costs.” Citing “a lack of clarity” over the status of bankrupt FTX and Alameda Research, the Jersey City, New Jersey-based company earlier halted withdrawals and said it was exploring “all options” with outside advisers. --- ### More from TIME --- FTX US is listed in the company’s petition as one of its top unsecured creditors, with a $275 million loan. The company’s largest unsecured creditor, Ankura Trust Company, is owed about $729 million, according to the petition. Ankura acts as a trustee for BlockFi’s interest-bearing crypto accounts, according to its website. BlockFi in July received a capital injection from a now-collapsed FTX US, and also had collateralized loans to Sam Bankman-Fried’s trading firm Alameda Research. The company is the latest crypto firm to seek bankruptcy amid a prolonged slump in digital asset prices. Lenders Celsius Network LLC and Voyager Digital Holdings Inc. also filed for court protection this year. The case is BlockFi Inc., 22-19361, U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey (Trenton). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/6237142/blockfi-bankruptcy-ftx/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/6237142/blockfi-bankruptcy-ftx/"},"headline":"Crypto Lender BlockFi Goes Bankrupt in Aftermath of FTX Meltdown","datePublished":"2022-11-28T16:26:35.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:45:43.678Z","description":"It's the latest crypto firm to collapse in the wake of crypto exchange FTX’s rapid downfall.","url":"https://time.com/6237142/blockfi-bankruptcy-ftx/","keywords":["Cryptocurrency","Tech","biztech2030"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1fb830c4b6799c11/698a385e011682b1579828eb/GettyImages-1243378320.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Kevin Simauchi and Hannah Miller / Bloomberg"}],"articleSection":"Business","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1fb830c4b6799c11/698a385e011682b1579828eb/GettyImages-1243378320.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"In this photo illustration, the BlockFi logo seen displayed","caption":"In this photo illustration, the BlockFi logo seen displayed","creditText":"Rafael Henrique—SOPA Images/LightRocket /Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/section/business/","name":"Business"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/tag/cryptocurrency/","name":"Cryptocurrency"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/6237142/blockfi-bankruptcy-ftx/","name":"Crypto Lender BlockFi Goes Bankrupt in Aftermath of FTX Meltdown"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"A Crypto Game Promised to Lift Filipinos Out of Poverty.
