Addictive, isolating and even violent... these were the terms linked to gaming as seen by outsiders to the gaming industry. Focusing on the negatives is easy, but looking thoroughly and emphasizing on the positives is no headlines. And that needs to change! Looking at Splinterlands we know and we see that it is much more than a game and one dimension that I want to focus on is the fact that it simply improves the financial skills and knowledge of all participants.
Digging deeper into the Splinterlands economy and culture, there are some real positives that can at any point encourage participation by immerging into an amazing ecosystem: it provides social connectivity and belonging to a great community, it boosts of creativity, it provides de-stress from life and work and even emotional balance. But above all I think it helps improve people's financials. How does it do that? Well, let's explore together some dimensions of that.
Represents a portal into the crypto world
Blockchain, crypto and NFTs... Splinterlands has it all! And that's together with the infrastructure to trade each of the utility tokens and assets from this ecosystem. It provides a fun and engaging way to learn about decentralized ecosystems while earning rewards. The gameplay encourages interaction with blockchain technology, making it accessible for newcomers and enthusiasts alike.
Teaches a financial culture
Some of the financial effects are that players get to understand profit and loss, learn about budgeting when building up decks if cards, trading and lending assets or general savings habits through SPS staking and other tokens participation into DeFi. Additionally, the game incentivizes strategic thinking by rewarding players who maximize the efficiency of their assets. Over time, it helps developing a mindset of long-term planning and investment, which is crucial in both gaming and real-world finance.
More than a game
You play, you have fun, but you also earn and expands outside of the ecosystem. Splinterlands is built on the Hive blockchain and players transit easily back and forth this space. Thus the assets now expanded to Hive, HBD and other second layer tokens. The game's integrated economy provides players with real-world value, allowing them to exchange earned assets for fiat or use them to participate in other crypto-based opportunities. The cross-platform compatibility ensures that players can engage with a broader crypto ecosystem, making it a gateway to decentralized finance and other blockchain innovations.
An instrument for passive income
Splinterlands offers multiple avenues for players to generate passive income. By staking SPS (Splintershards), participating in liquidity pools, or renting out valuable cards, players can earn consistent returns without actively playing. This enables users to use the in-game assets to create a sustainable income stream, integrating gaming with real-world financial opportunities.
And probably Splinterlands offers so much more. I must confess that me getting into the game has overlapped with me getting into crypto, so I could appreciate from the beginning the surrounding economy and the opportunities from here. Its useless to say that at some point my assets in the game surpassed 6 figures amount, but I am still here and playing it. We did it once and we can do it again and who knows, maybe this bull run is the perfect opportunity for that.
