Great post explaining how the V2 CUB migration affects the users. I wasn't thinking about it but it does make sense that anyone who did it early earned big but the rest lost a little bit during the moves.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I didn't realise this. Don't get enough CUB rewards to notice such an impact bit I am sure big investors could have felt it by migrating early.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I think it affects the whales more. I think our investment is probably still small compared to the whales.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, very small as compared to most of the early adopters of CUB. But it's slowly growing.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Have not really been paying much attention to CUB these days. Not that I am in FUD mode, just have been busy with The HIVE Revolution Splinterlands Guild and doing some personal spiritual introspection as this is the time of year when I do that.
Forgive my lack of activity in our club. So much to do, so little time...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Good luck on the guild. Time is definitely hard to manage.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's serious business getting the guild going. It's also that time of year on the religious calendar, so it's cool.
If only CUB can be combined with Splinterlands in some way. That would be amazing for both.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The DEC/BUSD farm is one way both are connected.

The guild is doing well so it's time well spent!

Axie Infinity Founder Says Gaming Key To Crypto Adoption
Here is another edition of our daily @leomarkettalk. We are heading towards the end of the month. We are getting close to the deadline for our contest.
It is up to us to close strong.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
How different is Splinterlands from the rest of blockchain gaming? If I understand @jfang003 from a comment he made in the previous live blog, Splinterlands has more ways for people to make money. What does Splinterlands offer that other games (even Axie Infinity) don't?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Splinterlands offers many things right now to earn money: ranked battles, tournaments, rentals, daily quests, season rewards, SPS and blogging rewards. Then you can add on land and other features when they come out.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Can new things be created by players? Can you create a monster, or a summoner, or a spell, or a potion? Or are those things left to the dev team?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is the vision for the future of the game. The ownership of land will be key in being able to create in-game assets. Although not available right now, this is what the future of the game will bring according to @aggroed and @yabapmatt in their posts and ASK ME ANYTHING (AMA) sessions.
I have followed this game since its birth as SteemMonsters and am amazed at its evolution. It has already, as Aggroed once said, minted Millionaires. It literally has!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's left to the developers.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That would be something interesting to have! Maybe in the future we'll be able to breed our own monsters!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
As @jfang003 said, that'sleft to the dev team to do. However, it's possible that if enough players make that request to the dev team that the feature could be added. No one can say for the future, but for now it's up t the dev team.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think it's quite possible... that kind of feature is very common to a lot of games of the same style as Splinterlands and eventually most of them end up adding exactly it or something very similar. I guess we'll see
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
A lot depends on the game mechanics, more open the more chances of monetization. Limited flow of gameplay the limits on what can be turned to NFT or asset to monetize.
Good points. Rising Star is the same way, now that I think about it.
If Bleach anime was ever turned into a blockchain game, players would be dead and buried before they ever finished the game. 15 seasons of content; hundreds of characters, with different versions of each character; thousands of weapons, items, accessories. Start playing today, finish playing in 2142.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It would be a nightmare to be a collector. I hope I never run into that issue
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
If that anime ever hit blockchain, I know who would get into it. Not me, not anyone else here. He was a big Bleach fan, and it's because of him I know about the anime.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well anime is nice but I haven't watched much of it lately. My backlog just keeps getting bigger.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hahaha I don't know that anime but I wouldn't oppose to a game that would be that long! I kinda like the concept, actually. Maybe one day we'll see something like that
Exode is one that might be quite complex and large so maybe it will be something like what you described (not that it would take a 100 years to get to the "end-game" but you get the point :P)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
In an earlier comment in this topic I linked to the Bleach Wiki, so that's a good place to start if you want more info. It's easier to learn about Bleach than it it to learn about Splinterlands, that I can tell you-- and Bleach had a cast of hundreds.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Cool! I'll take a look
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think the fact they keep building new layers in, all of which can enable people to have more profit.
Since I am not an expert I cant say for sure. But there are potions, DEC, and then the cards, all of which can have value. Then we also have SPT which is of benefit and now SPS.
Add all that together and there is the potential for even the novice user to make a couple grand from it over time.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's good to know. It looks as if Splinterlands is taking gaming-- not just blockchain gaming-- to a higher level. Other games may get the buzz and attention, but without the features Splinterlands offers (and will offer) they will fall in the rankings. Eventually people will speak of Splinterlands the way they speak of {Magick: The Gathering} and {World of Warcarft}: as the undisputed leader of the genre in its format.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That would be very interesting to see!
I'm a huge Magic: The Gathering fan so I'm quite biased when I say that I have never seen a game that is as good but I hope Splinterlands get to that level one day.
I can only imagine how valuable the game will be if it ever gets to that point!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We'll know how valuable Splinterlands can be when it gets made into a feature-length movie.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That would be nice! A feature-lenght movie streamed on a Dapp built on Hive, fully financed by the community through tokenization!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't know much about Axie because I don't play it, but one thing I like about Splinterlands which, despite not being unique to it, it's different from most blockchain games is that there is actually a gaming aspect present.
Some other blockchain games are mostly DeFi platforms with a different UI to make it look more like a game. Splinterlands is different in the fact that it is actually a game
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Gamified DeFi isn't the same as a blockchain game. The requirements of DeFi constrain whatever gamification is placed on top of the DeFi. A blockchain game can be designed as such from scratch, and it can be as simple or as complex as needed or desired.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I agree and yet a lot of gamified DeFi platforms are market as and referred to as games. They lack actual gaming experience though...
I don't mind it as much because it still helps to spread the word around but it's very important to know and understand the difference before one decides to jump in
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't care if people are playing blockchain games or gamified DeFi. What matters is that people realize what they are playing so that they don't waste time with the wrong sort of game or "game."
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This will drive forward in leaps and bounds with China's latest gaming ban. There are billions of kids seeking ways around China's ban. I think Decentralised Games will be that future.
Indeed. Gaming is big business. The Splinterland founders have tapped into that market and we all are benefitting from their long-term vision whether one plays or is invested in the game or not.
No one can argue the point that Splinterlands is currently the center gem in the HIVE Blockchain crown!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No doubt! And hopefully the success of games such as Splinterlands, Axie and co. will be a big incentive for even more developers to start their own games. That could change the landscape completely
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Pish posh, I saw it 3 or 4 years ago! 😆
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Better late than never I guess
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well the guy is not wrong at all. It will attract more young people to the space and they are key to mass adoption. ✌️
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well I definitely think gaming will be a huge key to moving people towards crypto. Especially if they earn crypto through gaming and want to use it to buy things in-game or cash out.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Many games (blockchain or not) let you make insane amounts of in-game earnings, but how many of them let you cash out to use local currency in your daily life? Not that many, but Splinterlands is one of them.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well cashing out in local currency still isn't easy. I think its just as difficult as other crypto games right now.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
What you said. Being able to cash out in local currency isn't the same thing as getting cash out of an ATM. Not yet, anyway!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's very true. That reminds me of the Diablo 3 fiasco

Try it on platforms and see the results:

Here is the story.
Hopefully @splinterlands is continuing its upward ascent with the number of users and the amount of money the game is attracting.
It certainly is off to a fine start.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think the number of users is also going up but I think it will go slower. I hope the Play to Earn movement picks up more steam.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah it is very early. I think we see it explode on us at some point.
@splinterlands is just the starting point on Hive. We will see what comes next.

I'm not promoting FB, which is why I'm using a screen capture for a result I received from a search I made using Presearch:
Knowledge of Splinterlands has made it to the mother ship.

Yea I think Splinterlands wants you to crosspost and get the information about the game out there for others.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Cross-post as in post on different social media platforms, right?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea. They want you to share it more because its more likely to grab more eyes.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh that's interesting.
Not a fan of that blue thing either but it's definitely the way to hit the masses

This we already knew about #Splinterlands, but it's good to see validation for #spt in other media:
This blockquote below explains what happened with Splinterlands (and, by extension, Hive):
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I think it's probably an issue why the game was lagging a few days ago. The increased number of users even if a ton of them are bots makes it hard for everyone playing battles at the same time.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I actually didnt know that they had bots playing the game! I only found out about them while watching a stream on Twitch and the streamer said that his opponent at the time was most likely a bot.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea there are quite a few bots. Sometimes those bots are tough since they field full legendary setups.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Do you know where the game devs stand regarding bots? Are they okay with that or there are plans to come up with strategies to get rid of them?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
They are fine with the bots. I haven't heard anything about getting rid of them since it makes the match making process a lot faster.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I see. That makes sense... I guess in the end they are kind of providing a service to the community
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Before TikTok, there was Vine. Remember Vine? Anyway, one of the creators of Vine is involved with NFT-based blockchain gaming:
Supdrive is the project founded by Dom Hofmann (a co-creator of vine). The idea is to create a gaming console which uses cartidges (like Atari and Nintendo systems) for playing games, only the cartidges are actually NFTs.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is misleading though. He has only come up with the concept of a game and wrote a few lines of words onto a JPG and uploaded it as a tweet which are now worth a tonne.
It's upto the community to turn the words into a game and netted many millions in Ethereum in the interim.
This is a growing phenomenon occuring in NFT gaming where people aren't actually making games and selling them. Just selling the concept of a game.
Stinks to me
Isn't that what's done in everything else, though? Movies, television, books, music, art-- practically everything.
Players and content creators don't need to make money as much money as the founder or creator, but what they make has to be worth their time and effort and allow for them ways to live off the game. As long as we (all of us) get a decent cut, why should we care how much the founder gets from residuals and other streams of income derived from the creation? At the same time, the founder has to realize that he is nothing without the players and content creators. Earnings for all don't need to be equal, but they need to be equitable (as in "genuinely fair").
Someone comes up with a concept which handn't occurred to anyone else before-- or take something everyone knows about and tweak it for an unexpected use-- then it becomes commonplace. That's not as easy we we like to think it is. Movies, sports, fashion, games, industry, science, education, everything else-- much of what we see today came as innovations out of someone's mind.
In the case of Apple, it's even worse: nothing was original. Not when Steve Jobs had hair, not when Steve Jobs was bald, not when Steve Jobs was dead. Apple simply took something useful and made it appealing. That's takes marketing genius, and he had that in spades.
We would be using Microsoft Zune MP3 players had it not been for Apple's iPod.
Heck, this weekend I thought I coined a couple of terms which would be new ("shitstocks" and "FUDslide"), only people beat me to them by years.
When something genuinely original is made or conceived, it deserves to be rewarded. What should not happen is the rest of us ending up with salt from the bag of chips or french fries while the founder ends up owning the industry. The founder owning the thing founded while we get a full meal would be a better situation; a fraction of a cent goes to the founder for every transaction made, but the volume of transactions makes the founder wealthy for life. Anyone interested in more than a full meal can find ways to invest at the company level or as a franchise owner.
(I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm arguing; that's not the intention. I just wanted to make a few points to see if I'm understanding the problem.)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I get you're point.
But I would ask the question, would you throw down $US1 million for the idea of a home that you will never get or rather the actual home. Now you could argue the point that the home is coming but it relies on you building it yourself. Unless you're a builder and qualified you're probably never going to get yourself the home unless you pay someone else to do it for you.
The idea of the home is worth nothing if it isn't made real. All of us have unrealized ideas, and they are all worth the same thing. It's the realized idea which has worth.
If I had USD 1 million, I wouldn't build the home myself using the ghetto skills I have. I would buy an existing home, or I would pay to have it built to specs. I think any of us would do that if given the options. In each case, it's an idea made real.
What would be amazing is if the home (however I got it) came with something no other home had but other homewoners want. It could be a hydroelectric or geothermal energy source. It could be a gold mine. It could even be the television set with the display tube shot by Elvis Presley in a fit of anger. Then I could find a way to monetize those extras.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well...I don't think a gaming console will work out unless its on VR/AR. I don't think console games will link block chain well.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Could a blockchain game do well on console?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
For the most part, I don't think so at this point. Unless its on something like the Xbox 360 when it was released and requires you to always to be connected to the internet.

27 days ago @ryzeonline published this Guide for Splinterlands players from the perspective of an observer :
As in many of his guides, "@"ryzeonline wrote this as a conversation to someone who had many questions about the game. Even players familiar with Splinterlands can appreciate what's in the guide.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I'm in the middle of the Splinterlands guide written by @ryzeonline. Biggest take-away so far: use a value-based mindset to determine your summoner, monsters, and back. Think Warren Buffet meets Sun Tzu.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You've really summarized what I hoped would be the biggest takeaway quite well! Yes, Buffet-meets-Tzu, value-mindset for choosing summoner, monsters, and back. Well said, good sir! Wishing all Splinterlands players as much fun and success as possible. 🙏
Normally I avoided games like Splinterlands just because they made my head spin. Sudoku is more my speed, so I didn't see the sense in playing Splinterlands despite all the game offers. It just wasn't my thing.
After reading (actually, still reading) your Guide on Splinterlands, I'm more open to giving the game a chance. Not that I will play it soon, but now I consider it an option. Thanks for publishing the Guide.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
A lot of games can end up being 'sudoku-like' at their core, even if they don't seem that way at first. A round of sudoku is mostly just managing a box of nine numbers. Manage them well and they all add up nicely. A round of Splinterlands is mostly just ordering a chain of 6 cards. Order them well and they beat the opposing cards. At least, that's how I see it. :)
Anyway, I'm thrilled to hear about your experience! If my post can help open up options for you, hopefully it has a similar or even increased effect on other readers, that'd be awesome! Thanks for sharing! 🙏
Ayyy, thanks for showing some love to this piece and helping it reach more Splinterlands enthusiasts. Thanks for pointing out the conversational, story-based nature of my guides as well. Rock on! 🙏
You're welcome! A good number of Splinterlands players are also Leos, and Splinterlands had become a major topic of conversation across numerous threads and editions of the recently-rechristened Daily Crypto Markets Live Blog.
Many Leos here are new to the game, and some are doing better than others. I thought they could benefit from some points the post made, especially about the mental game. If they make a great leap in earnings from Splinterlands because of your post, then you did your job im publishing the post and I did my job in promoting it at the live blog for their benefit. When they win, Hive wins. When Hive win, we all win.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I didn't realize there was significant overlap between Leo & Splinterlands, very cool! I love seeing people 'win' (in games, and life), and my content is generally aimed at helping people do so. I'm thrilled we're both doing our part. 🙏
The overlap comes from the investment aspects and implications of playing Splinterlands. Apart from being the top ranking game in all of blockchain, it's a money-maker for players and investors thanks to 15+ Layer 2 tokens it uses. The big ones are DEC and SPS; the others are mostly for in-game use.
The Leos came to Splinterlands for the income and stayed for the fun.
Splinterlands is the money-maker for Hive, and Hive is shaking that money-maker!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Makes total sense, thanks for explaining! 🙏
There is a new SPORTS proposal for diesel pool allocation. If anyone has staked sports, you can feel free to take a look and see if you want to vote for or against.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't own any sports but this seems like a great next step for Holders. Could give another use case to the token.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea it definitely is. At least this way, SPORTS will be locked away instead of being sold and it stabilizes the price.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I wish we had SPORTs and other HE tokens on BSC as well. That way there would have been more options to stake them in LPs on different platforms. Even Cub Finance.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes. That platform could have been a really good one. Need more growth in my opinion. It is hard but that was the key for them (as for all).
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think it was the lack of proposals. They seem to come out in fast succession then sit for the next few months doing nothing.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Months are like years in the crypto world.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea, I hope this is the start of a turnaround for them. Sports is a very popular subject all over the world so there is a huge potential there
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Sports and Movies. Both of them are going to be important for crypto adoption. ;)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I will have to look into it. I have a couple million SPORTS that I am not doing anything with.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It might be a good way to use it. The vote multiplier doesn't work though with outposts so its tough to use up all my VP there.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
AH, it doesnt?
That explains why my multiplier wasn't working on CPT earlier then
I didn't know about that
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I saw it wasn't working and thought it was only on SPORTS. But someone told me that it was on all tribes that moved to outposts.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hmm I guess I'll ask them if there are any plans to work on that (assuming that's possible... I don't even know if it is)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I have some staked and will check it out. I do not frequent that community much as I am not a big sports fan. I will take a look at their proposal though from an investment outlook.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's for liquid Sports since it's a diesel pool. However you need staked SPORTS to have any weight on the proposal.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I have staked sports. Now I can use it for something! 😂
This would be of interest to @tfranzini, for sure. He has a decent amount in his SPORTS bag.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Well SPORTS isn't that hard to pick up so long as you are active. The inflation rate is pretty high though and I think my 2 million stake isn't really worth much though.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's one reason I didn't get involved with SportsTalkSocial. The other is that it would have been a black hole for me. I stopped following sports in 2019, so I wouldn't even know what to talk about there these days.
Proof of Brain would be the other place where I would spend lots of time, and it's been a while since I last engaged there on a regular basis.
It looks as if it's LeoFinance all the way for me. When my other Layer 2 tokens get unstaked (except POB, CENT, and a couple of others), I will convert them to LEO or to liquid HIVE depending on what my needs are at the time.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well I think it's an ok tribe and I get most of my SPORTS through Actifit.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think that's a good call. Invest in the projects which you believe and spend time on.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I spend most of my time here, so LeoFinance is where I will invest the most. I believe in POB, even if my time there lately doesn't reflect that. For everwhere else, I'll earn what I can but swap for LEO, POB, or HIVE. If the situation changes, I'll adjust accordingly.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I do almost the same thing but there are other Tokens that I keep such as CINE and VIBES, because those are communities that I spend some time on. Not nearly as much time as I spend here on LeoFinance, but still enough to justify having a small stake, in my opinion

About 1 year ago @trumpman published a post about Hive climbing the dApp rankings at DappRadar :
It only got better in the 12 months since then.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Our game got us on the top which is great. It will be hard for other games to beat us for a while.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Next is for Splinterlands to build on its lead and increase the gap between it and #2.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes! And hopefully we'll see other Hive-based dApps emerge to the same level as well!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Foresight. I guess this was bound to happen at some point and I think a lot of gaming dapps on the hive blockchain will do well in the nearest future. Splinterlands is leading the pack right now, others will follow suit.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lots of planning and logic flow were involved, for certain. Now we're seeing the payoff.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
My thoughts exactly. I think there are many other projects with the same potential so hopefully they will achieve a similar level of success and draw even more attention to Hive
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well I think Splinterlands was going to do well regardless. Compared to those big corporate gaming companies, they actually listen to the users.

Spanish PortAventura has decided to accept the bitcoin payments. It wont' be long before they may accept other cryptos too. Like some stablecoin.
https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/portaventura-world-becomes-the-first-theme-resort-to-accept-bitcoin-as-payment-at-the-hotels-next-season-301383854.html
If a resort can accept Bitcoin or an altcoin, it just makes sense that a cruise line or an airline would accept Bitcoin or the same altcoin as the resort. It's a natural match. Eventually this will happen.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't see any reason to refuse crypto as a payment method. Money is money no matter how you look at things and I think there are probably services that make it more seamless.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
There are only 2 valid reasons not to accept someone's money for any transaction:
I may be willing to accept payment in EUR, CHF, and JPY, but it my payment system isn't configured to handle it than it doesn't make sense for me. If someone offered me cash payment in EUR, CHF, or JPY, it would take a long time for me to exchange those to my local currency, USD.
On the flip side, I may want to pay for some computer equipment at a brick and mortar store using platinum coins. As much as they would love to accept the platinum coins for their own reasons, the store itself couldn't handle payment in platinum coins.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I agree with 2nd. I mean there are mountain regions where internet is impossible so yeah cash does have role to play.
Yes, that's very true. I remember taking a trip to the Peruvian jungles and in some places, they were very specific about the kind of currency they accepted. Not even the US dollar was accepted there.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's interesting!
There is one crypto project that's made specifically for tourism (I think it's AVA) so maybe in the future they will also accept that

It looks like about 1/3 the people in El Salvador are starting to use the Bitcoin wallet.
This is a great thing to see.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am still wondering how many of them only made it for the free money. I would rather know how many transactions were made using the wallets.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yup and purchases are on the increase with the most common thing bought being coffees and newspapers. This is an indication of the middle class adopting Bitcoin a fabulous move in the right direction.
Twitter is also working on replacing Western Union as the preferred remittance service to El Salvador so no doubt we will see Twitter become a remittance bank churning out more bitcoin. Unfortunately it will just make Jack rich and not much is going to the 330m users globally.
(Emphasis added)
Twitter as a remittance service?? Screw that!! That's what Chivo was put in place to handle.
While El Salvadorans in the country have their Bitcoin wallets, El Salvadorans in other countries will need to acquire Bitcoin and wallets in order to send BTC back home. They don't need any stinking Twitter!

Here is a message from Khal to the growth team on discord.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's promising but honestly they need to be articles that are evergreen and not time sensitive. Most traffic in the crypto world comes from news that hour and sends a quick blast. The SEO aspect of it doesn't come into play for a lot of things as DeFi and so forth move at a rapid pace and things quickly change. I'd hope not to many funds are being invested into this as it's going to be hard to recover costs.
Gear the articles towards your products by talking about hyped up projects right now and how you're products relate and help. This will help not with just traffic which is ok but better yet help people understand LEO, CUB etc and that they can join and start contributing as well.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah, this just sounds like a marketing agency taking advantage.
I'm going to try and jump on a call with Khal and have a chat.
Also not sure why he's paying random shitty freelancers when we literally have an army of writers on the platform.
If he has money to burn, then he should be using it to train our own writers how to structure their content properly and ban affiliate link spam...

Go get 'em, Mr. Williams! I was literally thinking the same thing when reading the quote of Khal. Shit, anybody can call themselves an SEO expert. Why outsource when we have our own folks?

This article dated 6 August 2021 doesn't mention Splinterlands, but covered the boom in NFTs which is behind the rise of blockchain gaming:
The article covers the state of blockchain gaming in general, but the big game featured is Axie Infinity, from the entrance fees to the Yield Guild in the Philippines to the scholarships and how they are funded.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I think the game developers are seeing a future on the blockchain with Axie. It looks like a viable model and people don't mind playing to earn.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The entrance fees to play Axie Infinity are insane. No wonder someone came up with the scholarship model for the Axie Infinity players. And I thought USD 10 was a lot for Splinterlands.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea and it seems like the Scholarship model also works quite well to have other people work for you. Of course it's not as profitable but you can have multiple people doing the work for you.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's true. I almost decided to start a scholarship myself, but I decided to invest my resources elsewhere... I prefer to stick to the Hive blockchain as best as I can
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think that is a good choice. I don't think Axie can expand much given the ETH fees.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I heard they are working on a new game with a much lower entrance fee. I'm probably won't play it if it's on Ethereum but it could be a good investment.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Some games which began on Ethereum moved to other blockchain networks (including Polygon (MATIC)). Some blockchains came into existence specifically as platforms for games.
Ethereum may still be home to highly popular games, but for how long will that remain true?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think it will start to lose some of that popularity unless it deals with the fee thing
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The switch from PoW to PoS was supposed to alleviate those problems for Ethereum. I don't know how much of an impact that change had in fact.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
According to the author of this article, experts say that gaming is the first real use case for blockchain:
I disagree, but it could be the use case which causes blockchain technology and cryptocurrency in general to take off.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I disagree as well. The first real use case is the transfer of money.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
For me, this is the only use case which matters. Payment of money is the transfer of money. If no one wants your money, then what good is it?
It's like having 1 billion WINE tokens. 10 days ago, it would have been a big deal. Today, they are worthless.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I agree with your disagreement, thus I also disagree with the author.
But yes, I think it's going to be an important driver to the mass adoption of cryptocurrency!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Blockchain gaming looks like the key to crypto becoming widely accepted. It could also be some innovation we haven't even imagined yet. Either way, it will be interesting to see how things develop over the next 5 years.

Gaming, blockchain, and the metaverse-- what else can we ask for?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's a very good article and it reminded me why I like TC so much.
It raises a very interesting point too.
I think this relates to your other comment on what makes Splinterland different.
Sure, it's a way to make (a lot of) money and some people only tackle the investment aspects of it, which is understandable, but it is also a real game so I think it has a better model than many others that are indeed farming platforms
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
All I know is that Splinterlands has something for everyone: pure gamers, pure investors, tactical players, strategic thinkers, adrenaline junkies, bean counters, money mavens, egomaniancs, social animals, introverts, ...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
A similar question gets asked all the time in the United States regarding the popularity of futbol despite the millions of players across all levels of school and recreation:
Seriously, though, the article mentions numerous reasons, among them the success of Ethereum which led to its current predicament. This makes Splinterlands' success even more amazing.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea the start up costs and fees on Axie are kind of crazy. I think Alien Worlds picked things up but I honestly don't see how the model works that well. Splinterlands seems like a better gaming model that people can follow.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
For anyone wanting to get into blockchain gaming, I would recommend Splinterlands, Rising Star, and the other Hive-based games. If money is no object, I would still recommend the Hive games but let the person go with an Axie Infinity-type game if he or she was really desparate to blow through wads of money.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I like HIVE based games because the investment doesn't need to be that big and you can earn it back by blogging.

I looked it up and I'm a bit torn.
On one hand, the concept is very interesting and apparently, it's built on a blockchain that's specific to gaming (Libplanet).
However, it looks a bit childish and repetitive. I'm not sure I'd enjoy it

India-based Financial Express has this article about the increasing popularity in blockchain gaming:
"GameFi" is a better term for blockchain gaming that whatever was invented for decentralized social media ("DeSo"? "DecSo"?)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea it's still going to be a while till GameFi takes off since the big game companies are still hesitant to move over. I am still waiting for one of them to move to it first before saying it has truly taken off.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
All it takes is 1 game company to make the move, then the others will follow. Expecting this of legacy gaming companies may be too much, so it may be up to a start up company to get it done.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think there are plenty of start ups trying but the game quality on blockchain games is still lacking. It's pretty much turn base or timer based.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I agree. I think if we ever get a good triple-A blockchain game, everyone else will follow because it's going to be the new standard.
I'm not a game specialist, but I believe MMORPGs have a good potential to do that. I say this based on the overwhelming success of World of Warcraft. It really created a new standard for that kind of game
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
In its heyday in the 2000s, World of Warcraft captured the imagination to the point where it became part of the poular culture-- movies and television series would make numerous references to it, ads for the game were all over the place, and Hollywood even spent money for a major movie.
World of Warcraft isn't on that level anymore, but it will remain the standard for games of its type and format. Splinterlands has a chance to do something similar not just for gaming but for blockchain and cryptocurrency.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
MMORPGs are a good choice but there aren't really many released. I guess the most recent on consoles would be things like FFIV but WoW has been going downhill quite a bit.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I guess it's a lot of work to get a game like that going. A streamer that I used to follow back when I played more games was recently playing a new MMORPG. I think it's still on closed Beta but I heard it's very anticipated by the gaming community.
Can't really remember the name though but I'll try to find it
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well there are plenty of games. I don't really like the state of most closed Beta games because the developers tend to do a bad job
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, it is a very much better term indeed. DeSom sounds very bad

So far, all the shortcut terms for "decentralized social media" sound bad. We'd be better off calling it "deez nuts."

About 8 months ago @khazrakh published a post about the opposite of Play2Earn, which is Pay2Win :
Think of a business which operates based on profits and losses. Too much Pay2Win leads to losses, and you know the rest of the story.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I am not very hopeful for a lot of the games on WAX as they are all asking for a decent investment cost and the roadmap doesn't allow you to earn right away. It sure seems more like a cash grab.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That could be. Who wants to break the bank to play a game? It's not a tournament like World Series of Poker.
If a player isn't careful, it could be a Pay2Win situation with Splinterlands. It could take a while to reach that stage, but any game has the possibility of being Pay2Win rather than Play2Earn.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea but its following a new model springing up in the gaming world. Raise cash from the players without any insurance the game will come out. It's especially bad in crypto since we all expect to earn money.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The game he cites has interesting mechanics where both players draw from the same pool of cards, which is a combination of both decks. I don't think I've sever seen anything like that.
I think the balance between profitability and "Pay2Win" is very important and not always easy to achieve so I hope blockchain games can do a better job at that than the legacy system has been doing
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Play2Earn may be a sector of cryptocurrency and blockchain gaming, but Pay2Win has been around since humans began playing games for rewards; only the term is new. Pay2Win is what happens when gambling becomes an addiction rather than just a game.
Whether we play Old Maid or Splinterlands, we need to learn adn master self-control so we spend as little time doing Pay2Win as possible.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's true. The problem is when the game itself is geared in a way that you either go full-on Pay2Win or you just can't really do anything
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Games like those deserve to lose their players. Players need to feel they aren't forced to play after a while.

About 4 months ago @bala41288 published a post about what non-blockchain games are like after one discovers blockchain gaming :
It's bound to happen sooner or later.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's just his personal bubble. Non-blockchain games are resource hungry and they are played for ego and motivation. You can't add NFT in PUBG and expect the world to be seeing same performance. I understand splinterlands and axie being leading games but converting every game into NFT chaos is not the future.
It's like discovering Hive or Noise.Cash or Torum after you've been using Web 2.0 social media for years. Once you discover crypto-for-content, why would you want to go back to Web 2.0 socail media?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
World is not on noisecash, torum and hive. That's confirmation bias. World is still on centralized social media and it's not getting down any time soon. Is there any protection for kids and women on hive, torum and noisse? none. People always resort to safety and centralized control so that they can have some assurance. Does hive have protection for kids, women and bullying instances? Now you understand why not every game can be blockchain based? Expecting everything to work to favor our use case and interest would be self biased and world doesn't work like that. Most of the people who preach crypto or anything in tech tend to have such confirmation bias.
I only mentioned those platforms to make a point, not to advocate for them. The point is that Web 2.0 social media has too much down side to be worth the time put into them.
Web 3.0 platforms are better for a number of reasons, but that's not the same as saying they are safe places. No matter where we go, Old Web or New Web, we will run into things we don't like or which we find distasteful. The question is to what degree can we ignore them and focus on what we care about. If the cost is too high, we need to find another place.
It's also not enough for a social media platform to pay crypto to its members. The platform needs to be a place where you would want to be if you were paid in Monopoly money. If it's that good, then it becomes your home on crypto-paying social media. Id it's not that good, the search continues. Different payout models work for different people, so that's another consideration as you noted.

While I don't mind blockchain games, I still like non-blockchain games. It just seems like the graphics and gameplay is way better on the PC and console.

Between SteemMonsters (what Splinterlands was before Hive) and Splinterlands, it would be interesting to see a graph or inforgraphic showing how the game evolved over the years, from zero players to close to 300K players.

I won't be shocked if this narrative is true. We've seen how this same strategy has been used by the corporate world. We all heard how bitcoin was aiding and abetting terrorism and cybercrime. Now that narrative is changing and we have big organizations like tesla buying into it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's one thing for Tesla to pump and dump a crypto. It's another for a country-- in this case, China-- to ban and unban crypto and any activity associated with it. Let's see what happens with this particular ban from China.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I have not read about this new ban (been living under a rock I suppose). Nevertheless, I think the impact of the ban will be short-lived.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
What's news to me is that it's the 12th (??-- or 18th?) ban in 12 years. I hope the impact is short-term as well, but I have no idea what that impact will be.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That would not surprise me. But maybe they just messed up for real.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
China could reverse the ban, but it has to wait first. The earliest that China could revoke the ban would be 365 days from now; it has to look like they reviewed the situation and saw that it would help rather than hurt. If China revokes the ban any earlier than 1 year from today, it will lose face; that's not an option.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
12 Bans is too much already but I think its going to be tough to reverse at this point. I know they want to push the digital yuan
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
China definitely wants to push Digital Yuan, and it wants other nations to transact in Digital Yuan. As long as it sees crypto as a threat to Digital Yuan, you can forget about crypto there.
Unlike the leaders of most countries (large and small alike), the leadership of China has both the determination and the force of will to make Digital Yuan a reality. As I've said elsewhere, the leadership of China plays for keeps. They also don't mind if their rivals/opponents/enemies shoot themselves in the foot and groin and eye socket before they swoop in to finish the job.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
And they have a massive user base under their control too so they can get things rolling easier than anyone else

Massive user base or not, the government there has the guns. Use Digital Yuan, or else....
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea and they are trying to stop any medium to convert the digital yuan in China. Limits on gold and precious metals. Get rid of crypto so that is another way to remove the transfer of funds elsewhere.

China will still be a major buyer of gold and silver and other metals (precious and base), but what happens after that is another matter altogether.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes but they don't want the normal citizens to buy those metals.

IMHO dCrops will be a winner. It has the appeal that Farmville had plus the addition of crypto earnings.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
He did a very good analysis of the game.
I've been playing without much purpose or strategy just because it requires little to no time from me but after reading this article I might take a closer look and tweak things a bit
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Outside of Hive and as a cheaper alternative to Axie Infinity, you should really give a careful look at MyDeFiPet.
The game is in its infant stages, so the opportunity still exists to get in early. It's BSC based and relies on it's native utility token, dPet, for all transactions (1 dPet = 0.005787282 BNB). An Egg to hatch a pet costs 3 dPet, evolving your pet costs 3 dPet, and if you want new generations, mating your pet costs 5 dPet. Not overly expensive at all.
Recently they introduced 'The Hunt' where you can earn crops (to feed your pets) as well as an earning of dPet tokens. Battles (which are advertised as higher payouts in dPet) are due to be introduced in the next month or so.
Personally I am very big on the potential earnings possible from this game. Putting my money where my mouth is I already have 6 evolved pets, and am planning on adding more (plus continuing to evolve the ones I have). For example of the graphics, here is my most evolved pet:
The UX is straightforward and the UI is clean.
If you are looking for a game to get into early for potential big future earnings rewards check out MyDeFiPet for yourself.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's interesting. I believe I've heard about this game before from a few people but I never checked it out.
I'll take a closer look mainly because it's still "cheap" to get in. I don't plan on paying it actively but it could be a good investment opportunity.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I heard about it but I didn't really feel like starting it up right now.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Since we're talking about gaming, I'll bring up LiteBringer into the conversation again.
I wrote about it a couple of months ago, when I was just starting it but it hasn't changed all that much.
They did introduce some new "end-game" content but it was heavily criticized by players because it apparently didn't address the real issues of the game. The game is actually very polished for a blockchain game but for some reason, it doesn't look like it will take off anytime soon.
It's been laying very low on the radar and it doesn't seem to be growing too much. Sometimes I think it's even shrinking.
I'm now earning just enough to maintain my characters (they do have a monthly maintenance cost) so I keep playing it but I wouldn't go as far as recommending it as a good investment because right now I think its future is doubtful, to say the least.
Oh, it requires very little of my time too, so I guess that's another plus.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well...it's fairly common lately for games to push new content that people don't like. End-game content probably means a whole ton of grinding.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea and also they only added more of the same... it's exactly the same content we already had only with higher requirements. Not exciting at all
I hope they can turn things around because it's really well made.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is the issue. I am not really in favor of huge grinds if they can't keep people interested. It's a huge issue.
