Hive-Engine is not a $1 marketplace

in #hive-1679222 years ago

I’ve always thought about accumulating plenty hive-engine tokens. In my thoughts, I dream about how I’m going to use $1 to buy thousands of units of a particular token. Little did I know that the hive-engine is not a $1 marketplace.

Don’t get me wrong, there are a handful of projects you can still collect thousands of their tokens with just $1, but are you really in for that ride?

They’re not really that bad at all.

A good number of these projects have developed intelligent and smart use cases behind the tokens which gives them a competitive advantage. They have developed proof of brain rewards systems to recognize and curate high quality deserving blog posts in exchange for burning their tokens. If you understand what burning means you know this is a real smart move.

Burning a token reduces the circulating supply of that token, limiting the supply and making it scarce in the market. With a good and continuous or stable demand for the token, the value of the token rises with the demand, inevitably satisfying the demand and supply rules.

Low Supply > Higher Demand > Higher Value

This means that you can actually send $1 to the market and fetch yourself some good medium-to-long-term investments.

Many of the engine tokens have this use-case that will make them always in-demand. All proof of brain participants will gladly burn some almost worthless token to boost the recognition for their content. There is just so much effort put into writing a blog post to have it go unrecognized, so why not?

There is a good use for your $1 after all. :D


Hive-Engine is not a $1 marketplace

Lately the game tokens have had my attention, more like they’ve caught my eye. To say they have my attention would mean I have been watching them closely and studying them, but I’ve not really studied them just yet. I have only encountered them in one or two occasions and I’ve been dreaming of getting some.

I’ve dreamt of collecting a lot of SPLINTERLANDS tokens; the game token (SGT), splinterlands (SPT), the packs, the booster packs and the land tokens. I didn’t really think much of the price they would be at but I know for sure that I wasn’t expecting anything close to what I saw. I hoping a to use a few couple of bucks to fetch a little handful of each one. Obviously I couldn’t do that.

SPLINTERLANDS showed me that it is already where I thought it has the potential of getting to. And that made me realize that it is meant for great things and that I should quickly get myself at least a plot of land and settle down and watch the magic show it is about to perform.
I responded, abracadabra 🪄!

The idea that bore this post came from me winning 1 Splinterlands Chaos Legion Booster Pack from a poshtoken contest and it making my engine tokens wallet looking really good. Before this, I never really thought there was an engine token that is worth up to 1$. ‘Cause I had a few couple of tokens, some tens and some hundreds, and all of that put together could barely make it to a dollar.

In my stroll through hive-engine/swaps, I realized that there are engine tokens worth as much as 800bucks per token! At the time of writing (7:47 GMT) the Splinterlands Land Tract (TRACT) was selling at a whopping price of $805.17442. Beast!!!

With the mass adoption and activities and interest being built around the SPLINTERLANDS game, these amounts are not going down any time ever! You are not too late man.

I’m moving to the splinter-lands.

No, it is not and yes, it is.
As much as there is SPLINTERLANDS and the likes of it, I don’t think the low capped tokens should be overlooked or underrated. In fact, that is where you want to be at. So you can enjoy the ride and live the moment you missed with the SPLINTERLANDS.

Remember this from above.

Thank you 😊

I related so much to your title as soon as I saw it.😂

I initially thought most of the tokens on hive engine were less than a dollar and a dollar at most. We were wrong brother😅.

Just like you’ve pointed out, a lot of use cases have been developed for some of these tokens that makes me want to see what happens in the future. We don’t have to overlook these at all.

Painfully wrong 🥲

Yes, we missed some of them but knowing what we know now we shouldn’t make the mistake again. Accumulate as much as you can get. Just incase “SPLINTERLANDS” happens with one of those worthless tokens. 😉

Absolutely on point brother. Accumulate as much as you can.😃

While I understand how it is supposed to work, I'm not sure I agree that burning to create scarcity is a good thing. I think it's better to create demand for the token by making it useful - and useful can be defined in any number of ways: holding/staking it gives you airdrops, you can buy stuff for a game with it, you can buy a cup of coffee or groceries with it or a coffee mug and a baseball hat, maybe you can tip people fractions of the token to make them interested in whatever community or project is behind it, or having a few of it makes you eligible to vote on something or other... yes, even burning a few for upvotes, though I'd rather the voting bot put the tokens on the market so they kept circulating. It's the big burns I'm against, where token creators first mint a million tokens, manage to sell or give away a couple of thousand, then burn 980k of the million. In one go, or in several steps, doesn't matter.

In my view, a burn doesn't really increase the interest in and demand for a token since it seldom gets heard of outside the community where it happens, it only makes the tokens people already hold slightly more valuable - on paper. So next time they want to raise the value of their portfolio, some more tokens are burned, making it harder and harder for new people to getin. And new people, more uses, are what really makes a token valuable. IMO.

You have a very reasonable opinion. This should be a point of view the owners of those projects to consider.
