RE: A sad realization about Splinterlands Hive Resource Extraction :(

[star-shroud]

Great post man, as always. Yeah I mean I wish I could disagree but I don't. I changed my posts so the rewards are 50% auto-staked and then 99% of the time Ill stake the rest too unless there's something I want to buy in Splinterlands, or another Hive game like I used my liquid rewards to buy a Holozing alpha vial. But yes, never have I ever even once, taken my rewards from Hive and converted to fiat. Not even a single penny 💪 We're all in this together. Hive and SPS can be piggybanks but only if we take care of them. If all we do is extract? The piggybank will break.

Omg I love how you investigate and actually get proof. This will prolly get me killed but I would love to see you investigate SPL "top scholars" and see just many thousands of dollars are being extracted to fiat every season. I bet you would actually vomit, for real vomit 😑 and also remember when you were asking "why does SPS always get crushed" .... that's why. 100% that is the reason. Jmo. Scholars dumping SPS outside the system where no one wants it. Supply and demands means that scholar extraction will ALWAYS keep SPS in the dumpster. It never has a chance to make a run 😓

That is not an easy topic. Since I know you for a while, I also know your agenda. Its not bad, but its not practical.

• The SPS distribution we can't control at hive. That is upto the game design and the SPS DAO
• Any changes there will require a stake-weighted vote from the SPS stakeholders only
• Scholars are like professional players in my mind. They are playing for living, so they have to sell to sustain living expenses
• Scholars and the game is a symbiotic relationship still. Scholars will need a sustainable game. And a sustainable game will need scholars.

Agreed, it's not an easy topic. Also, thanks for saying I'm not bad agenda 😍 I'm glad you know (I hope others know too!) I really only want the entire ecosysytem, SPL and now HIVE too---and all of us along with it---to succeed. That's my sole agenda, always, 100% of the time. Idk even why? There's just something about this. It's hard to put in words.

Anyway, what I raised is an SPL issue not HIVE. I agree with that 100%. So but regardless, it makes me glad I started staking all my HIVE rewards instead of swapping to SPS! I guess also along those lines, even though we don't always agree on everything, I second what @captaindingus said in the post above--it's from taking advice from you @azircon that go me on a better track with undertstanding HIVE, the community, what matters, what doesn't etc. And also what convinced me to invest in HIVE not just SPL. I still have a long way to go, but thank you for that 🙏

Why does a sustainable game need scholars?

It doesn’t if we have 100K human players
