For many years I have been preaching the importance of games + microblogging for the growth of HIVE. I only have Dolphin sized stake and I don't have a large following or big voters that send my articles trending on HIVE. Despite that I have been doing what I can to support DAPPs and convince others (especially the Whales + Orca) to support DAPPs if they want HIVE to grow.

EVM Chains are not good for user experience. They do not have the best technology. What I am most impressed by is Koinos (created by the former STEEM developers). The attention and adoption of EVM Chains started from its first mover advantage. There is a cycle of more DAPPs leading to more users leading to more developers coming onboard and eventually making EVM Chains the #1 place to develop Web 3 products and services.

Tap 2 Earn Has Been Incredibly Successful

If you need an introduction, read this article and take a look at these images from the same article. While doing that, ask if we can have parallels within HIVE.

We do not have to follow the exact playbook of another successful project. There are many paths toward success. What we cannot do is ignore the hints gives about the market and what the users have and easy time getting into. Many HIVE DAPPs have fixed the onboarding part of the puzzle. @leofinance has custodial accounts that can be used by logging in with a Google or X account. @risingstargame make the process a little more complex for normies by requiring Keychain.

The positive thing with forcing users to install Keychain is that most DAPPs on HIVE support it and become instantly accessible to the users. Keychain login is easier and more convenient than using Web 2 login methods. What is difficult is getting users to create an account.

Checking on Card Prices

There are few Special Missions happening every year that allow players to earn Cards and I have a habit of participating in most of these events. I was late to the previous event and the prices after a week from the end of the event were as following:

Be Careful With The Animated Cards

If you do not have any plans of selling your Cards, go ahead and combine 10 of each to get an animated version of the Card with 10 times better Stats. These Cards have very little liquidity and at many times you will find that there are no animated Cards listed on the market. Influx of new players with more investments can change the lack of liquidity.

What Cost Me to Get S79 Hippy Drum

I had one of the best Booster Pack Openings on @risingstargame and gained a 30X return. That is how I managed to start completing the Groovy Summer Missions. The price of S78 Faith used to be lower than what it is at the moment.

We Have Music NFT on HIVE

Most people are unaware about NFTs or they merely think of NFTs as some images on blockchain. The reality is than an NFT can be almost anything including a replacement for a land registry or most real world assets. The data of the image, music etc. are not always stored on a blockchain and what makes these special is not the data itself; but the features that come with Non Fungible Tokens.

Record Staking is a part of the game where players can stake their STARBITS earnings on various Music NFTs that are released on the games. Whenever a Record is sold, those who were staking get a portion of the STARBITS Pool of the respective Record.

Important Tip

Make sure to observe the percentage of the Pool you get for each 1,000 STARBITS staked. If I had staked 19,000 STARBITS on the latest Record, I would have only gained 3.8% of a Pool of 97,920 STARBITS. A slightly older Record with the exact number of sales is providing a better percentage from a Pool that is 98,656 STARBITS.

Happy Gaming! Happy Investing!
