Cryptocurrencies are incredibly volatile; however, one cannot deny that they have increasingly gained global attention and are equally rewarding. 

Today, BTC fell from around US$ 52,000 to US$42,000 before recouping part of its losses and is currently trading at US$ 46,515 as of 8 September 21 at 1:47 BST. The sudden crash came after El Salvador enacted a bitcoin law and became the first country to accept digital currency as a legal form of tender.

Bitcoin’s flash crash today has prompted crypto investors to seek out altcoins which may be a good buy at the moment.

One such coin, Illuvium, is an interesting option. The Illuvium cryptocurrency is a non-fungible token (NFT)  based open world fantasy game.

It is created on the Ethereum blockchain protocol and is the first AAA game built on Ethereum. An AAA game is an informal industry classification given to major or mid-size game makers.

Illuvium has a 3D game environment and also has yield farming and decentralised finance (DeFi) layer features.
