5 BIGGEST TAKEAWAYS FROM THE TOWN HALL (12.17.21)

Every week I give my 5 biggest takeaways from the Town Hall. For the video version, please see below!

• Coin Market Cap Advertising

So many in the community seem to complain that the team doesn't do enough marketing (not me - I think word of mouth is the best). Well here you have it - the team was handpicked by CMC and will be getting in front of more eyeballs. I think it's never a bad idea to get exposure, there is no such thing as bad publicity right? Hopefully this brings many new people into the game!

• Yabapmatt transitioning from CTO ==> CPO (Chief Product Officer)

Couldn't be happier for Matt to be in a role that he enjoys and can put his full focus on! He has done a great job holding down the fort and a big shout out to Hardpoint for coming in and taking things to the next level! I really enjoy the communication and organization from the team during the Town Halls and in Discord!

• Partnership w/ A-List Rapper

This could be nothing. Or it could be game-changing. Until we have more details on who this rapper is and what kind of partnership it will be, I'm not getting too excited. What I do like though is the way the team is going about spreading the word.

• DEC Value & Utility

The team has no intention of taking DEC off of it's soft peg at 1000 DEC/$1, but they are discussing methods such as skins and avatars as ways to burn DEC so that it holds it's value. I worry about it going back to it's peg as that would be a significant decrease in the amount of daily ranked battle rewards, but I trust the team has this in mind and is working to promote the long term health of the game.

• Daily Quest Flexibility

There was a casual mention about how Daily Quests would be eligible in both Wild and Modern format. For most newer players who play in Modern, this won't matter, but it makes me happy for those with older cards that can swap in and out whenever it makes sense. Flexibility and options are always appreciated and this will be great for the player base!
