Do you know Blockchain Gaming?/ My views on Economics
Blockchain Gaming & censorship resistant social media is what drew me to crypto in the first place, this was furthered as I discovered wonderful blockchain social media like Hive. Its nice to see that there are so many fans like myself looking to support these projects. Hash Kings, Dcity, and Rising Star are great Hive games but sometimes they can be eclipsed by ETH games and now BSC or even WAX games.
Todays write up is special as it pertains to blockchain games close to most hive users including myself and what can be done to help them. Not that they are necessarily struggling however it would be refreshing to see them thrive.
Blockchain gaming accelerator
Though I know this Hash kings info is a week old it still feels as if it deserves a mention. It seems that many feel the same as I do about getting these Games like hash kings traction in the consumer market. So if this announcement isn't to old to help new players try Hashkings for free spread the word to all your perspective E-grower friends.
https://blog.blockchaingaming.com/news/hashkings-partnership/
Direct quote from the article about the Hash kings scholarship program:
"The HashKings Scholarship Program by Blockchain Gaming gives new players almost everything they need to get started. You will join us as inexperienced young farmers, perhaps new to the Hive blockchain, and leave as veterans of the virtual cannabis industry. All we ask is that you participate earnestly in the community and play the game."
Now I'm fairly certain that this may have ended but please check out their Discord or the article above if interested.

Weather it has ended or not the scholarship program has had a sizeable impact of the Price of BUDS & HKWATER. This is a great sign Its always good to see a Weed crypto project thrive (growing like a weed).
This next announcement is more recent coming from 6/28/2021 Rising star is the next Hive game to join blockchain gaming accelerator.
https://blog.blockchaingaming.com/news/accelerator-announcement/
Rising star already has an advantage that Hashkings does not WAX NFT packs, as well as accepting WAX as a payment in Game. See the Rising star news is new enough that the scholarship program has yet to begin. A Quote from the article:
"We will launch a Scholarship Program for Rising Star similar to the one for HashKings."
See Rising star has given me so many reasons to see promise in the project the most important aspect of which is support of small musicians. Turning their music into NFTs that can be purchased and supported in game, I know that tech has messed up the music industry and finally blockchain s fixing the damage that had almost destroyed the music industry.
Due to the Hive Fork the plans seem to be on pause a perfect window to get the word out and get involved.
My hope is the blockchain projects I find deserving of the similar treatment that Hashkings and Rising star received one day receive the same attention. Among these projects I feel deserve to flourish are Dcity, Dcrops, & ocean world. This is a subjective opinion nether right or wrong but these projects to me show the most promise.
https://dcrops.com/
https://oceanplanet.io/
I still love slinterlands at this point they have paid me well over $1,000 USD but they are standing strong on their own not that they dont deserve help but they need less then the rest.
Crypto Brew Masters had some shameless cash grabs in their recent updates pricing out average players something I dont really agree with. Instead they should have asked for help instead of making it to expensive to play. I'm fairly certain that ocean world is a project ran by the same group of people so I hope they think more about the fans this time.
Yes there are a few more hive games then what I have mentioned including Exode & Rabona.
https://rabona.io/
These are games I have tried but never clicked with me personally same with holy bread. I have even played the alpha of unsung hero witch shows promise but has a long road ahead to be a polished game. Again this is my opinion not anything against these project and wish them success but ill likely not be along for the ride.
Game credits
Not sure if they still function as My rewards page doesn't load but game credits allowed users to support favorite projects via donation. I met the creator of the game credits service last year at a live stream AMA called the futurist conference. Those like myself that attended all 3 days of the event where awarded by having important questions answered by creators of masive projects including Brave browser Upland game credits & to many more to name.
https://gamecredits.org/
The futurist conference has been very helpful in my pursuit to better understand blockchain industry as a whole, using the social media connections of important projects and devs I had meat there.
Game credits was one such project, Also its cool just to be able to have my personal inquiry's answered by important individuals in this industry that otherwise would have never been reached through other means.
Gambling
Now if anyone else that invests in crypto feels the similar way I do about gambling this is something not worth our time. Its simply not a risk reward system prudent investors bother with I get that. I also understand the average consumer Psychology behind gambling its a predatory practice however there is a large market there. When looked at from a objective perspective all marketing is inherently manipulative, its why milk is in the back of a store for goodness sake.
As gambling is less harmful physically then say alcohol or Cigarettes if controlled its not the worse vice. Since Gambling and blockchain gaming as well as the NFT market share many similarities with gambling its a acceptable evil in my book.
Everyone that reads my posts knows I smoke pot but I have seen medical marijuana help close friends improve their quality of life. One of the most important instances is a childhood friend that had brain tumors that would not stop regenerating after surgery until he started medical marijuana. After this the tumor had decreased in size eventually getting rid of the need for further surgical intervention. Cannabis actively would stop his seizures the most miraculous thing I have ever seen, so marijuana to me isn't a vice its medication.
This isn't the case from the other industry's I labeled as predatory such as alcohol & tobacco. At least gambling is only psychologically damaging so I tend to view it as a lesser evil.
Since the following casinos are Hive based (Games) in a manor of speaking, I figured while on the subject of Hive games I would point out the two I see the most promise in. Hive slot games gives out free Hive via twitter on Fridays to those guessing right on a 50/50 game of chance like red or block for roulette High or low for Dice.
https://hiveslotgames.com/?referral_name=chubb149
That is my referral & below is their twitter.
https://twitter.com/HiveSlotGames?s=20
Though their twitter promotions this casino stands the chance of really benefiting Hive in the long run so I like what they are doing even if it is gambling.
Now this next casino is rather interesting Krypto Gamers another Hive casino, oddly enough it actually has legitimate investment potential.
I may not like to gamble but others do and that's fine, what interests me most about Krypto Gamers Is dividends earnings for token staking.
A dividend is a form of payout usually to partial owners of a casino in this instance but effectively by staking GAMER the Krypto Gamers Hive Token your cut into the accumulated profits based on the level of GAMER staked & the amount of profits generated.
https://kryptogamers.com/?ref=chubb149
These are not on Hive but are casinos with a fairly similar investment potential.
Please keep in mind most of the casinos give you a contract that essentially promises payout of crypto upon request Just like an exchange you dont own the keys not your keys not your crypto. Bet fury banned U.S Citizens just warning you there are risks but there is potential there for profit just don risk anything you cant loose.
BC Game is odd no dividend payout but they give out free crypto regularly & the staking ability has a 5% weekly return on deposited funds through their staking options. As well as Rain and donations from players to other players via chat level up rewards it has quite a bit going for them. All of these Casinos are provably fair based on RNG systems not adaptive AI meaning they are more fair then most online casinos.
https://bc.game/i-3iqsy6eb-n/
Check them out if curios the daily wheel is free and can give you an idea of what to expect for free. They even gave me some free SHIBU a DOGE knock off that I would never buy but free is good. Their site token covers gas fees when withdrawing so just spinning the wheel mostly pays out this token with no cash value it does cover gas so its not worthless.
I have accumulated many ALT coins in my Blockchain portfolio while not worthless this type of usage seems more fitting then selling them off for close to nothing. They take TRTL Turtle coin & BTT Bit Torrent Token Anyone actually recognize TRTL Token? Because its one of the oddest projects to survive the 2018 market crash, a real trooper held out this long.
last casino I know I'm shutting up soon I promise, the last is a lesser known WAX casino.
https://earnbet.io/?utm_source=DappRadar&utm_medium=deeplink&utm_campaign=visit-website
I try my best to keep informed on most Dapps on Both WAX and HIVE the Earn Bet is a WAX casino with few games but its months old so give it time. Offering Dividens and the ability to utilize WAX liquidity pools on Alcor with their crypto give it investment potential depending on popularity so its one to look into.
Censorship & the Banhammer
For those that may not be aware Twitter banned Splinterlands this is why Hive is so important. Sites like hive as well that are focused on censorship resistant social media this is going to become increasingly valuable is my guess. Twitter was a great networking tool as is/was Reddit, Face book isn't a place for anyone with common sense. What Hive and other blockchain social media have that the surface web lacks is a sense of respect, though people may not share ideals or agree less people attack one another in my experience.
This is good it shows me we have the capacity to do so though its not as apparent on the usual social media. Discord and Telegram have a rather high rate of theft for my taste & while exclusivity is ok it does tend to create echo chambers.
I joined Hive for Weedcash as its a great place to share my thoughts on cannabis and the science associated with it with like minded people & it pays you on top of all that. Though many can be driven by profit I personally believe in Hives potential showing us what can be accomplished by cooperation.
This is why I started sharing my knowledge of blockchain I use to profit while simultaneously airdropping NFTs to readers. I would like to see us all succeed where society has failed, to cooperate instead of horde both information and potential profits.
Blockchain given us as individuals power never afforded to any other generation a chance to make a global economic system. To cooperate like never before it is potentially the means by which we save ourselves and the planet.
Its a idealism that may never occur human nature is combative however this is the opposite of how an economy functions at its core. Only via fair cooperation can an economic system thrive being made up of our own faith and cooperation.
Hive and several forms of blockchain systems show me that greed is still a factor but when we have a mutual goal & vote on a project we all want the same thing to see the project succeed.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wealth_of_Nations
Economist and philosopher Adam Smith outlined many principals of economic health in a society WIKI above. The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith is Econ 101 & the economic systems currently other then blockchain Specifically DPOS and derived systems similar to DPOS are destine to fail.
History shows us time and time again by making monetary systems inherently disproportional in power and wealth collapse due to greed. Look at the USD system which had a greater stability during the pandemic this is due to the stimulus and unemployment causing people to spend more.
Without this essential source of income in their citizenship the market begins to suffer both from the increased level of USD pumped into the system and larger corporations now hoarding the profit earned.
This is why we are seeing rapid inflation as well as the Taxation from food distributors brought about by getting rid of NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement). Now that the company's bottom line in companies such as Walmart Amazon is in jeopardy they inflate the price of consumer goods even more so.
This causes inflation to worsen and anyone that knows basic history can see what happens next.
Blockchain is a monetary system that stands a chance of getting away from this narrative assuming governing bodies dont kill it first.
If You combine a legitimately free and fair monetary system with Anti censorship and cooperation there is an opportunity to stop this self destructive cycle.
Sorry for the referrals
I'm not an affiliate marketer, Even as a independent contractor that seems sketchy to me & literally all contractors are known for is ripping people off. Like to think I dont do that but that usually means I pay the price.
You are not required to use them simply google the service if you prefer Its both easier to get the link this way as I'm logged into most of the projects. As I have stated on the WAX and EOS projects & even a few Hive projects the proceeds go towards NFT airdrops.
Now that the market is recovering I'm going to start making the daily airdrops both more valuable and Increasing the Number of NFTs airdropped to 6. These changes start with todays post, coming Up I will soon be offering two airdrops when possible the second being an EOS NFT airdrop.
Not tat I expect anything to come of this but if A Hive NFT airdrop ever becomes easier to facilitate at random Ill add that into the mix but Devs of Hive are busy people & I'm not one to pile on.
But todays airdrop will be the first with 6 NFTs I'm happy to see all the support as well as the popularity of my posts since I began doing this thank you all. I will do my best to continue to pay it forward.
What I'm smoking
Started as a sarcastic means of turning a negative stereotype into a practical manor of asking you the reader to consider the source of my information given in each write up. The what I'm smoking segment give you an idea of what strain of cannabis I'm smoking when I wrote that post. Today I'm smoking the last of my blue cheese from yesterday long day of waiting on concrete to set so I wrote a bit more then usual but its dark by the time I got home.
Needless to say I'm smoking the same cannabis (blue cheese) because all the dispensaries where closed once I got home unfortunate but them is the breaks.
Free NFT 1 time airdrop URL
I try to include a single claim airdrop URL for WAX wallet users containing free NFTs, It may only be claimed by the first lucky person to click the link. After claimed once the URL will no longer be active. The lucky reader should receive 6 NFTs if you received less then 6 check your whitelist settings.

Thanks for the airdrop. I have staked a few of the NFTs that you dropped to rplanet and started playing Splinterlands. With Splinterlands doing the big drop in the future, I am trying to have holdings so that I get part of the drop. I also so far like playing the game. Take care.
awesome to hear SPS airdrops are going to be sick, good call stoking up now. All fun and games tell one makes you $1,000 Now its entirely business.
P.S: Thanks for letting others know about the airdrop, There is another miner in that airdrop for Minereum that common NES miner. Not a project I can get to work yet but given the new NFTs from them It may soon be affordable.
You made it very well
Thanks for this great explanation
