If you're a gamer and a cryptocurency enthusiast then you might want to give FirstBlood a look. FirstBlood is a platform being designed currently that will make gaming matches fair for games that have cash prizes for participating winners.
You can also earn rewards by witnessing matches and voting in gaming juries. I liken it to getting paid to be a referee in a sports game.
There have been gaming tournaments in the past that offered cash prizes and some team managers were hiding the results of these matches from players and taking a huge amount of the profits for themselves. FirstBlood saw an opportunity to correct this by making a platform where all game progress is recorded on a blockchain where it is immutable and undeniable.
The first game that they are offering on FirstBlood platform for the beta stage is DOTA2 which is a game that is almost a complete copy of League of Legends. No offense to the DOTA2 team, but man it sure looks a helluva lot like League of Legends. It has the same team base setup, market, etc.
[EDIT] Had one of my readers point out that DOTA came out before League of Legends and that L.O.L. most likely copied DOTA. Thanks to @ddrfr33k for the knowledge ;) [EDIT]
I've played the game myself and it is fun. It has the same feel as League and if you were a League player then you'll feel right at home here.
Anyway, if you'd like to check out FirstBlood for yourself then head on over to the link below:
They also have a FirstBlood ERC20 Etherum Token and it is currently being traded on exchanges like Bittrex. You can find all of the pertinent information at their CoinMarketCap page:

Hope you all found this an interesting read and I wish you a great day!
Good job. Thanks
Thank you for reading it! :)
I just invested in this last week for the long haul. When I see coins like this, I feel required to invest in them: I mean, the coin is named after a Rambo movie, you get to gamble, and it's related to video games. Outside of the aspects that make it cool, they should continue to gain popularity every time they support another game. In time, once they've supported enough games, they will have a very strong community of gamers backing it, and that will be hard to break, in my opinion.
I agree! I will be watching this closely. I am already signed up on the platform and played a couple of games. Pretty fun times
It really is. With the technology of today, we are living in a time where we are being supported to do the things we love to do. I mean, this coin alone could allow not only those who play video games to make a living, but those who are fans of it, as well. You also have Youtube alternatives, additional media sharing platforms, Steemit, and so many other sites creeping up that will allow us all to do what we love to do, and we can profit from it. I think that is just awesome. If this continues, we will soon have a ton much amazing content because we've enabled people to actually produce it (and make a healthy living by doing so).
I'm invested for the same reasons. Rambo, video games, gambling... yeah, very cool. I share your excitement for Steemit and other blockchain platforms! What an opportunity to do the things we want to do, and shift the course of the future. Looking forward to the next games supported by FirstBlood.

Finally 2 things that I love combined. Thank you for this @lothendriel
No problem! I'm excited for this as well. I think it will be a boon to gamers. Thanks for reading!
The circulation is real high, I made a couple bucks with it a couple times, it’s good for a pump around 60-90 days. Good luck!
I'm really in it for the gaming. I like earning rewards too though lol ;)
Hope this coin does well @lothendriel
It's down about 34% right now due to the market pullback so it might be a nice time to get a discount for a test run. I hope the platform does well myself because it will help keep things fair in the gaming communities. Thanks for reading!
good post! I like the idea of this coin! do you think Dota 2 will be successful? If it is then you might have a winner, but if it flops it could mean trouble for the coin.
DOTA2 is already an established game. I was asking my boss' kid the other day if he's ever heard of it and he said absolutely. If he knows of it then that's a good sign. DOTA2 isn't the only game that will be included on the platform either. They have plans to add others. Thanks for reading!
thanks for the info! I'm excited to see more!
Erm, I hate to break it to you. But League copied DotA...
Not that there's much of a difference between the two games. They're both wildly popular.
Any word on shooters? I could see games like the new UT or CoD giving this service a much-needed boost.
LOL. My bad. I played L.O.L. way before I even heard of DOTA. Thanks for the correction. They don't have any news out yet of what other games will be added, but they are planning on adding more. CoD would be my wet dream come true LOL :)
Personally, I'd love to see Pandemic SWBF2 or some of the older UT games get added. I have far more fond memories of UT than CoD.
I really need to give UT another look. Back when I wanted to get into it I had a crap ass computer. I have a better machine now so I might be seeing you on the battlefield lol
$10 for UT99, compiled for modern systems. Use OpenGL for display driver. You're welcome.
