RE: Why would I buy 1000 monsters I'm not going to battle with, giveaway or sell?

in #steemmonsters7 years ago

Aggroed, the guy running the show, has indicated he'd like to work out a card delegation/rental option; which would simplify the process.
You'd probably need to sink a couple of hundred dollars into the collection to make it worthwhile if you wanted to loan them out to multiple groups of hardcore players.
What you have there should do the trick in getting your son interested, though. That's 80 cards.
You wouldn't even necessarily need a different account for him; just log him in to your account with your posting key via steemmonsters.com and he can play.
Great way to get noobs enthused :)

Thanks @mattclarke. That's really helpful.

I'll try and get my son interested. He's still convinced that Steemit is a pyramid scheme. 😂

Understandable; although it's going to get harder to assume that as the years roll by without a spectacular collapse.
I like to use the example of World of Warcraft.
Blizzard Games made an environment which rewards successful players with influence tokens, represented by gold coins in the game.
They let a player influence the outcome, by buying armour, weapons etc.
Some people sell these influence tokens for regular money; to people who want to buy stuff they haven't earned through gameplay.
As long as there are people who want to buy WoW gold, there will be people able to earn it and sell it to them.
Blizzard games isn't backing the value of their gold; they're not giving people money to play WoW; they've just created a world which
A: Rewards skillful play with influence tokens
B: Allows those tokens to be transferable
That's it. When you get that, the penny drops and you understand where the money comes from.
I've bought most of my STEEM; because I believe that as more eyeballs arrive, people with deep pockets are going to drive up this environment's influence tokens (STEEM), as they look to catch the attention of those eyeballs.

Yeah. I need to get around to buying more Steem. I think I bought about 110 some months back and I've still got a little bit of BitCoin that I never got round to exchanging.

There always seems something else to do.

Like now. I'm wanting to go to bed but I've got loads of comments I haven't answered yet. Steemit can be very time-consuming!

I don't know what is up with everyone this evening. Friday is usually quite quiet but today it's really buzzing.

Did I miss something while I was out?

Has Steem gone to the moon or somehthing? 😂

Not yet, but hodl on tight :)

I'm hodling. I'm hodling @mattclarke! 😁

And, any minute now, i'm going to bed!
