What Is The Cost To Win?

Just the other day, Leo tokens smashed through its support level and hit an all time high, it was a surprise to many, but expected by few who had strong belief in what was brewing in the background. Few days ago, it was Uniswap who broke the internet with the biggest airdrop of the year the world of crypto has seen so far, congrats to those who were lucky and good luck to others yet to come.

Yes there will be many others to come, funny enough, they might not come by as airdrops, some might just be a big bag of shit tokens that have been accumulated over time smashing through its support and breaking its all time highs and setting new record/price levels like that of Leofinance, interestingly, Hive ecosystem gives its users the opportunity to experience such, with numerous tribes built on Hive-engine gamified with each their own token and economy, what happened on Leofinance can also happen with any other tribe.

One of the other tokens on Hive-Engine I think carries such potential is the Splintertalk tribe. Splinterlands players blog through the Splintertalk tribe and earn SPT tokens, plus Hive, plus any other token referenced in the tag of the post. If anyone has been paying attention to the growth of Splinterlands over the year and couple of months, it is glaring that there has been a tremendous amount of partnerships between them and other gaming/NFT ecosystems around the globe, it almost seems like no week goes by without an announcement of one major collaboration.

One of the results of these collaborations is that Splinterlands is expanding its audience/participants beyond the Hive populace. Many people will agree that the success of Leofinance floated upon the shoulders of the Hive populace, so if we combine that with the population of external ecosystems, we can easily see Splintertalk tribe doing 10 times what Leofinance did in both token economy and number of users.

The interesting thing is that hooking these numbers up to an Ad-revenue system to purchase the tokens off the market to burn/buy back will greatly impact its value as did for Leofinance. In the recent update posted by the Leofinance official account, it stated that the Leofinance interface generated between 5$-6$ per day on Ad-revenue in the most recent month, multiply that by 30days we have an average of 150$ worth of buy back/burns from the market, however little for a growing ecosystem, multiply that by 10 times in the case of Splintertalk, then we can begin to see what is possible for the SPT token if half of the Splinterlands players begin to blog and sporadically share their posts.

IMO most Splinterland players do not presently participate in the blogging aspect of the game, but spice it up with interesting price action, not only will the number of bloggers sky rocket but also the number of new gamers who will FOMO in and also begin to blog on Splintertalk to earn themselves some SPT tokens and Hive coins. Its all about how the tokenized attention works, taking a cue from the Leofinance writing's "When the underlying reward token (in our case, LEO) is up in price, then more users tend to flock to the interface to create content and earn rewards." This is no longer an hypothesis but has become a theory.

SPT tokens are not worth much at the moment, with 17,000SPT just a little above $3, one can easily become a whale by splashing just a couple hundred dollars into it. I presently hold 16,944 SPT tokens as I've been accumulating them over the months, however, I'm going ahead to stake 14,000 now and begin actively curating in the tribe to spread the tokens and further increase my holdings through curation, peradventure things turn around in the economics just like that of Leofinance, I will be well positioned to ride the waves to the moon.

Surely it might take more than just hooking the tribe up with Ad-revenue for it to take off, but the first hurdle which is the most important is to develop an ecosystem of dedicated users which Splinterlands is currently building gradually. Thanks to the capabilities of Hive and what is being built untop of it, I missed the Uniswap airdrop but I sure won't be missing out on every other opportunity for future massive gains and the chance to participate in one of the worlds leading piece of technology.

Thank you for reading...

Don't forget that if you don't have a Hive account or haven't bought any cards, you can still play for fun by registering with your Email address. This will allow you access to a lite account. The real deal is when you buy your cards and build your deck, because only then will you have access to tournaments, daily and season quests and rewards...

If you're game, I'm always up for a challenge. Hit me up and get your ass whooped.

Battle till you drop!!!! See ya.
