RE: Interesting People #15: Kristaps Vaivods and Maris Ziedonis on Hash Rush
Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to post a follow-up a little more focused on the gameplay soon. Yep, 50 ETH / 5 BTC is a pretty huge ask! 13th September for me too!
Yeah, that's all pretty nuts. For more-or-less the whole time since this was posted, BTC was around $4000. So A 5 BTC price tag is worth about $20,000. That's rather excessive for a game. Maybe I missed the point where the game has a better value than a car?
Then, it'll go down a lot on 9/13. 50 ETH down to 0.1 ETH? That's 99.8% off. Comparatively, I'd assume it'll go down to 0.01 BTC, which will be about $40.
That aside, it looks very interesting, and I might try it out after 9/13. And after I get $40 in steembucks...
Oh, you're not paying 5 BTC for the game - that is for investment, as with any other ICO or presale. You would go in for these large amounts as a result of believing in the team and their project, in the same way any investor or large Kickstarter backer would be.
The money doesn't just disappear to them either - you will receive rewards as stated on the ICO page, with the most obvious being the RushCoins (their own token) which if past ICOs are anything to go by, could absolutely skyrocket in value.
The game itself will be free - but the RushCoin tokens will have a real world value, tradeable on exchanges etc.
So this is very much about an investment more so than a 'purchase' of the game - hope that makes sense. :)
OH! Well don't I feel silly.
Yes, that makes more sense. Thank you for the clarification.
No worries - a valid concern! :)
