RE: Looking for the Future after Taking a Trip Down Memory Lane

in #hive3 years ago

It's been 3 years since I've started working on the original steem-roller.com game which is now defunct.

As it sits it's spiritual predecessor Hive-Roller.com is getting near a stable enough state for me to start advertising the damn thing. I do appreciate the mentions though. <3

Cheers captain!

Okay so then I'll simply suggest an "Early Access" section as well, for you folks developing, but not quite finished, but could still benefit from random product testers and general feedback. That should also be right under the consumer noses.

I've been meaning to try that game. Not much of a gambler though.

Yeah.. I'm pretty vocal that "this is alpha testing" because it is.. In no way shape or form is it a finished product however it is useable.

Investing might be more of your schtick then if you're no gambler.. Generally slower and safer returns.

To be honest, most days, I hate cryptocurrency.

I arrived many moons ago, as a content creator. Four years later and the consumer base only shrunk. Not good for business, my friend.

Yep.. Noticed that trend as well. Started to branch out away from graphene based blockchains here in the past few weeks. Needs to be done, the pool here isn't large enough to support most businesses anymore.

Right. Because no focus is placed on consumers driving up the market value. Why create a product and refuse to sell it? Content generates revenue everywhere else, because that content is placed in front of a paying audience. People spend all day on devices, consuming shit and earning nothing for their time. They'll gladly do it for free and hundreds of millions will gladly spend their disposable income on it. They've burned through billions of dollars and never once got a return on that. This business model here is incredibly disruptive in the entertainment industry and I feel like I'm crazy now for even noticing, while so many other seemingly don't.

Blah... calm down nonames....

Yeah.. You're basically right on the money there imo.

You're not crazy for noticing the trend, in fact you're more sane than the ones not noticing this.

Can't even watch a livestream these days without seeing money pour in from consumers. Imagine all that getting pumped into Hive, daily.

Then I see the traditional oldschool approach being applauded. Consumer money pouring in ETH so artists can get paid top dollar NFT style. Here's the kicker though. With no consumer incentives to hold, all that is is money in the door, in order to pay someone, which means that money goes right back out the door. So they basically break even. That model does not create steady consumer driven demand for the token.
