▶️ Watch on 3Speak


I had a great talk with Matt Rosen (@yabapmatt) last night about the state of Steem, the SBD and of course Splinterlands.

The show is divided up into two parts.

The first part is about Steem (From 3:50 till 31:10).

The key takeaway from this talk is that Matt would like Steem to present itself more as a developer blockchain than a purely 'proof of brain' content discovery platform and he also would like the SBD to go.

We also have a nice discussion about where the value of STEEM will come from.

The rest of the show is about Splinterlands (31:10 till the end).

We talk about the development and the economics of the game itself but also about the revenue the game generates for the team and where that money comes from (crypto or fiat).

Matt explains the system they developed that increased the SP delegation automatically for players when they run out of Resource Credits when playing the game.

We talk about the mobile app that's being developed.

We also talk about how new cards are 'born' and how they keep the game balanced.

As usual, the show is fast-paced and to the point. You will learn a lot listening to Matt.

Enjoy the show!

I think with the launch of splinterland in steem has really helped us. @yabapmatt has than well and with the HF21 which has brought the curation-trail steem is going to be much better. Thanks to @yabapmatt!

I am really excited about the possibility of a mobile app. I know that you can use the browser in your phone to play the game, but for me it is not very responsive or easy to use. I really think the addition of an app is going to be pretty game changing. I can't wait!

Don't forget that another big potential game is coming out on the steem blockchain "road of rich" on 7okt! @roadofrich

This was a great interview, I especially enjoyed Matt's openness about the need / want to hold the steem token. Not surprising, he's a Philly guy! I wish you guys talked longer about this, let's open a dialog. I'm interested in all opinions. What is the need to hold the token? Why would a new person want to hold it? This is something I'm not grasping. I would much rather invest in splinterlands cards or DEC than steem. The DEC token is a competitor to the steem token. Would love to hear everyone's thoughts.

Fleshies have already been nerfed.

Didn't hurt the price any; kinda wish it did. I'd get more for my money.
Price only matters if you're selling; and that's not gonna happen :)

Since it was mentioned ... here is a chart of burning DEC .... the straight line is the inflation.

I don’t grok the idea of Steem potentially not being in the reward pool and instead using SMT’s for rewards.

Part of my comment from another thread:

Many of us here have worked to build our SP for the long haul. A move to SMT-only rewards has the potential to invalidate that strategy. Would only authors/curators no longer earn Steem? Would inflation be trimmed so that only witnesses, the DAO, and SP hodlers earned Steem? Or would one or more of those also no longer get the inflation? There are so many unknowns.

I'm so excited about the app!

I think it's interesting how you guys created DEC and how it turned out to be such a stable token. I had never actually stopped to think that with the burning of cards, and the want to purchase potions and such that the token will naturally stay within a set range... very interesting points guys, was great to listen to.

I actually listened to this live on that day. Great to hear Matt’s thoughts and his vision for Splinterlands. No wonder he is my fav witness. Fully agree with him that Steem is more than a blogging platform or pob. For Steem to move towards becoming a developer blockchain I believe a rebranding is required. The whole world associate Steem with Steemit and just another social media wannabe. But Splinterlands has proved that Steem is more than that, it can support a whole ecosystem of blockchain game. Time to rebrand our blockchain to something else. A cooler name like EOS :)

Video stops at the 19th minute. I tried on my phone. The same thing. Too bad I can't watch it.

Reload the video and put the slider a little past the 19 minute mark. Does that work?

On STEEM, EOS or BITSHARES? have crypto? Human Trafficking Included. This is on VOICE as well. The developers are helping terrorists human traffic. WARNING

Self proclaimed community watchdogs are actually hacking and stalking people.

This group https://steemit.com/@steemspeak is ran by https://steemit.com/@fyrstikken. They are hacking people that enter this discord server https://discordapp.com/invite/sqxV63P . Once you are hacked they profile you long enough to know all of your activities. They introduce workplace gangstalking visits and bring it to your attention cleverly and discretely so only you get it. They are very covert and tricky with everything they say and do in this server. Some claim to have worked for or are working with the FBI and the NSA. Mixed with decommissioned traders and coding criminals, Its a scary mix of creepy people and their intent is to drive you crazy and deplete everything you have ever acquired in life, even your freedom.

My hacking started with them introducing ransomware that has options, dump my coin or delete my system drive. They acknowledged this to me in the server as it happened. I've been following this group since before it was on discord. I joined when it was on teamspeak.

This hacking and stalking is done so they can manipulate the target to pump and dump for them. Threatening and Making victims wear head phones, so nobody in your household can hear thier dramatization towards you. In 2017 this server was side marked as a drama show for entertainment purposes only as an excuse to say whatever they want all the way down to killing a politician. They have a server side command called "hey asshole" making a prompt come up instructing everyone to wear headphones. They want everyone wearing headphones so nobody in your vicinity can hear them mess with you. Fystikken says its because of "mic feedback" but once your a target you get exactly why they make everyone wear headphones.

With headphones on they subliminally direct victims with very low suggestive whispers mixed into their radio shows music. Combine this with them being able to manipulate their own individual outputs sound volume, which they control on the server side, they can pick what individual people hear at any given time. They decide who you hear on the server and change the volume controls for them. They can make some really low or off for those trying to investigate. They control who hears what and know who is who.

This team will find absolutely everything they can about you prior to using their suggestive and threatening program. They Introduce pictures that mean something only to the target, inducing paranoia while they watch and listen thru all of your circumvented devices. They are very aware of what makes you tick. They know your work schedule and use it for work stalking along side of this. I received multiple threatening letters to my work and home addressed to my screen name from this group.

Fyrstikken tells people they are drafted like they did with Facebook at the beginning. He says Facebook was started by forced labor and V2K controlled slaves, just like he creates with his gang for steem and crypto. "Get to work bitch" he tells people once circumvented and intimidated.

Human trafficking is worse than drugs. Steemit censors important content that will expose them. Look at steemit.com/@gangstalking
