Cryptocurrency has an interoperability problem. In other words we could say that there are silos that isolate communities. Blockchain games and NFT has faced a branding problem and I see many hardcore gamers being anti-crypto. This is partly because of their own stupidity. The scams and lack of real utility or engaging gameplay in many of the Web 3 gaming projects don't help either. We must improve and refine our brand in the coming few months educating more users with good messaging that showcase the value of Web 3.

HIVE is one of the best places to do that as the blockchain itself serve as a decentralized social media where individuals can explore a variety of projects + communities. Discord or Twitter can be a good place to start a funnel, but a terrible place to end at. Discord is a privacy nightmare that make Meta look good. Twitter has too many short form discussions focusing on price of Tokens/NFT and the Twitter followers don't even reflect on the Daily Active User counts.

These techniques work. They can work favorably or they can even backfire. Even placebo and nocebo effects have real biological results. Medicine with better branding at premium prices can end up giving better results despite having the same active ingredients of a cheap cheaper medicine.

Promoting @splinterlands as an evolution of games where users can have a Magic: The Gathering like experience without having to hand over the ownership of assets to a centralized company that will ban your account for saying the wrong thing on a stream.

OnixCoin and Army of Crypto Bringing in Competition

I love the work @leofinance is doing to bring crypto projects together. There is a new community with a new userbase on HIVE. It is a tiny community. After seeing the latest AMA, I can say that their heart is at the right place and OnixCoin is trying to build the type of games that I like to see. The competition will push @splinterland to do even better and there will be cross onboarding between different silos in the cryptosphere. We are stronger together! The fight is not with each other as much as it is with ancient corrupt and centralized systems.

Match Report

Performance

I did manage to reach Diamond III League and currently I am earning Diamond Reward Chests. I certainly did better than the month of June. The problem is that I could have done better. If I had simple invest a little more time before the end of the Season and managed my time more efficiently, I could have at least made it to the 63rd Gold Reward Chest.

I would prefer to not sell any of these Cards ever! They can be used for gameplay. I have many of the Common Cards at Level 7. It is the final few levels that require the most Cards. Therefore this is more of a 37.5% completion that a 70% completion. Final Level Up accounts for 25% or more of the BCX needed. Slightly below Max Level should be achievable at this rate.

⭐ SPS Report

I have been making passive income through Diesel Pools on HIVE-Engine. SPS has recently gained a great deal against HIVE and I consider this a time to take some profits into HIVE. As for the GLX Airdrop, I am now past 20K GLX staked. 77% APR is very good for a Token that is going to be another SPS.

A great many things have been built throughout the bear market. The news is getting better and better over the days. I don't expect everything to go well for crypto. What I know for sure is that a better time is coming and we will be rewarded for sticking around during the toughest of days and improving ourselves. We have better tools, better technology and even a stronger community that is more connected than ever. I expect @splinterlands to be on mainstream news very soon!

Happy Gaming! Happy Investing!
