What is POINTS?
Points this. Points. It seems like everywhere we turn we are earning points.
Win a tournament you get SBD and Points.
Enter a challenge or contest you get SBD and Points.
Even off Steemit, everywhere you turn you are being handed points for your purchases, your loyalty, and other behaviors in your life.
So isn't time for an electronic currency called Points?
Enter the beauty of the time we live in.
It has never been a better time to establish a long-term electronic currency with value.
POINTS will be one of these currencies.
Initially, POINTS will be distributed via Steemit and available for trade on the Bitshares network.
The ultimate goal of POINTS is to be a vehicle of real, positive change that will introduce humans unfamiliar with cryptocurrency.
It will be distributed to social media influencers on other platforms to be used similar to Beyondbit and Whaleshares. they will be given away as an additional prize or reward for contests, challenges, and loyalty.
This will introduce the social media influencers to crypto and Steemit, and will also introduce their social media followers to it as well.
This is the synergy we have been waiting for.
A long-term cryptocurrency for good that will be used by people as a gateway into the world of cryptocurrency.
Besides being distributed to social media influencers, POINTS will be given away on Steemit as well.
Both the Beat Battle League and the Community Poker Game hosted by @nicnas use Points as an additional reward and way to track rankings.
The Beat Battle League currently calculates Points as the number of SBD + Whaleshares earned that week.
For example, in Week Two of the League @verbal-d won 25 SBD and 60 Whaleshares earning himself 85 points (25+60).
These points are updated every week to reflect the current standings and allow every member of the League to see where they stand in the battle for the championship belt.
Little did they know each Point they have earned so far will be exchanged for a real-life cryptocurrnecy called POINTS.
The exchange will happen in the next few weeks.
So Beat Battle League members and Steemians waiting to join the League, the time is now to act.
It's free, fun , and a great way to earn recognition, feedback , and rewards.

The Community Poker Game gives away points the following way:
- 1 POINTS per Upvote/Call (4 per week)
- 3 POINTS for a victory
- 3 POINTS (1 per week) for posting an epic piece of content about the Community Casino and/or Community Poker

That is up to an extra 10 POINTS, a real-life cryptocurrency of value, Steemians can earn each week by having some fun with fellow Steemians.
