RE: Are you ready for Holybread? | Log in now for a special gift!
Dear @crypto.piotr:
Reference link systems have demonstrated functionality. I can assume this because most of the current platforms use this mechanism.
The idea is that each member use their personal link to invite and bring new users to the platform. For doing this then we receive a reward.
Holy Bread established a 5% reward for purchases made by new users that we can bring to the platform (using our personal link). It seems fair to me.
What I see that worries you is the phrase: "lifetime".
Initially this sounds like something very attractive.
Receiving small but constant revenue of bread would not have much value since I would have more bread coming to my account than I can possibly use.
Why do you think you can't use that bread?
I just read the reply message from @holybread where it tells you that:
If you are an active player you will be able to convert those breads into more STEEM in the end.
Then there is the possibility of receiving Steem if you no longer want to improve your Heroes or if you plan to withdraw from the game.
From my perspective I think this system could work well.
Your friend, Juan.
Thanks for your comment @juanmolina
Meaning? If you want to stop playing game or stop improving your heros, then you will simply have more and more bread within the game. That's about it.
From my understanding, you will receive some steem only if you're playing the game pretty much non-stop and you're on top of the rank. If you stop playing then your ranking will quickly drop and by the end of the game your rewards will be very little.
Let's put it the other way:
Imagine if we would be rewarded on Steemit for posting quality content in STEEM, which could be only purchased (same as bread can) but cannot be sold/traded. How many current users would ever care about that steem? Probably we would have just a small % of current users still around.
Anyway, I can only hope that Holybread.io won't be another missed opportunity :( They have interesting product and small but solid team and I absolutely wish them well. I've seen enough ref-links programs in the past to see what kind of incentives users are looking for. And receiving utility token (bread) which cannot be traded to other crypto doesn't sound encouraging. Unfortunatelly.
Yours,
Piotr
