Cryptocurrency It's Like Money But With Perks!

in #steemleo5 years ago

Money is boring. Sure you can spend it and buy things with it. But that is about it. It just sits there. And when you do spend it is gone. The most you can do with it is put it in an account and maybe get 2%, yay... Now crypto can also be spent to buy things but it can also give you things just for holding it. Smart contracts are really an incredible thing and if you use your imagination you could make a coin that is more valuable than fiat.

You can literally set up any benefit digitally for holding a coin. You want early access to content? Well if you hold 10k of a coin you can get it. That season pass for the game you are playing, you could buy it for $10, or lock in 5k coins and get it for free. On steemit it gives you voting power and interest. This is a great way to invest in yourself as a blogger as you can use the tool you bought to help yourself and then sell it at a later date (maybe even for more money). Sites can give you a cool badge if you hold a certain amount or let you decorate your posts with exclusive tools.

It really is dependent on your imagination. It is the same when the internet came out and people only saw emails being sent. Then someone saw that they could send photos. Then someone thought we can make a search engine and share videos. Smart contracts are the new online tool that we are scratching the surface of.

So if you are running a site on the steem blockchain and have a coin try to add as many uses to the coin that you can. Thanks to the steem model you already got voting power taken care of. But why stop there. You can make it so ads do not pop up if you hold a certain amount or you get a cool border around your posts. Maybe you get access to a signature card or a vip area with special content.

Be CAREFUL not to alienate new users or make it so only rich people get all the perks but adding fun aesthetics and other things can really help raise the value of a coin without making it inaccessible for the masses.

And the best part is you can have as many perks as you want. That is where crypto shines. You can make a coin very valuable by adding perk after perk and having the coin be accepted in as many places as you can.

We are only starting to use cryptocurrency to its potential, lets get a coin on steem to be the one to innovate first.

When I started getting involved, I loved the concept but could never feel it until I got on Steem and through engagement experienced the variability of what could be done. Then came Steem Monsters and took it to a whole other level!

my feelings exactly!

I agree Steem-monsters was a big shot in the arm here and I think it’s success and popularity has encouraged a lot of gaming and non-gaming related development on the platform as devs and creators see that people will play, but, promote and support innovative projects. I am excited about the future here on the Steem blockchain and your right Steem-monsters deserves credit for what it is and for showing people what could be.

I agree that the amount of creativity on the blockchain and the potential for interactivity is amazing. Games like Steem-monsters just keep raising the bar and bringing new people into our community, not to mention making others already here more active. It’s gaming, but it also illustrates the potential of the platform.
