Week through Adrian's Lenses

Week Adrian Lenses.jpg

At the beginning of the year, we've seen people setting their goals and businesses sharing their strategies for 2023.

One of my non-goals (lacking a better term instead of resolution) for this year was to write this type of post on Sundays, sometimes replaced by Walking Stories. This is the first of the series. That pushes my Hive goals posts to Mondays.

I think we've had a pretty quiet week overall, with most people still getting back into the rhythm after the end-of-year free time with families.

Week on Hive

Since many of us are Hive-centric, this will be the main section of these posts.

Before I start, keep in mind, this is the week through my lenses. And my lenses can only focus on so much... But if there's something important I missed, feel free to mention it in the comments. I'd appreciate it.

Even so, there is much to cover for the week we are about to end on Hive.

3Speak and SPK Network

@starkerz was a guest on the CryptoManiacs podcast from Tuesday, where he talked about the future plans and strategies they have for 3Speak and SPK Network. The possibilities of opening up 3Speak for users who connect with different options (like Metamask, and even Google), temporary content, and direct video integration into various dapps, without having 3Speak as an intermediary came into the presentation.

Leofinance

Leofinance published a post on how they reimagine the platform in 2023, based on 3 principles:

  1. A zero-explanation User Experience
  2. A simple onboarding process
  3. Everything app features
Splinterlands

Splinterlands put out the "DEC-B proposal" to a vote after changing it according to the results of an informal vote on Hive. With 2 days before the voting window closes, the situation is 70% in favor of the proposal, with 66% needed to pass it. It has been at 70% for a few days, and probably most stakeholders that were interested in participating in the SPS DAO governance already voted.

SplinterForge Launched Jan 2nd

SplinterForge.io is a Hive-based boss-fighting card game that uses the Splinterlands NFTs (both monsters and summoners) as a basis for their game. They don't have an official Hive account for content creation, as far as I know, but they have a discord server and a number of users having the roles of content creators.

Psyber-X

I admit I haven't followed news about Psyber-X, because I was never much of a player in shooter games. But it looks like the gameplay has begun for the game if you are interested. They are also posting regular updates, so make sure to follow their Hive account: @psyberx.

They also mention they have "4 more games in the works", one of them, "Psyber-Decks, will be similar to Splinterlands or Warsaken and will be available to play within the next few days most likely", they said in the latest post.

Week in the Cryptocurrency World

I'd say it was a calm week. Bitcoin is trading flat and the biggest news is that grandpa turned 14 at the beginning of the year.

There was some news about SBF, but frankly, I don't bother following them, as I believe this is going to be dragged on until the interest goes down (possibly as we enter the next bull market).

A nice view on leofinance, 3speak, splinteroand and Psyber-X, true to set a goal in the start of the year is awesome because that would leads your way through out the days of the year.

The main rewards are for the leaderboard ranking for the top 100 after each boss is killed, but it's getting very hard to stay there. I've only scored big time in the beginning.

I believe doing these weekly summaries is important to keep track of the steps taken.

In my view, big goals should be divided into smaller medium and short-term goals and, by summarizing these, you can understand where you are on all three distances (long, medium and short term).

Furthermore, for the reader there are many ideas that can be useful, everyone has their own path but reading about the others helps to plan, perhaps to correct and why not to steal something heh heh!😉

Maybe the beginning of the post was a bit misleading. This is not a goals update post for me, it is mainly a collection of news that captured my attention throughout the week on Hive and in crypto.

But to your comment, I agree, bigger goals should be broken down into smaller, more manageable chunks. And yes, when you post regular goals updates, you become accountable, and others can be inspired and motivated, and why not steal some ideas? I know I was inspired in the past by Hive goals posts.

I don't know about the "expert" part. I know some things, other people know other things, and by sharing we all know more.

Thanks for the weekly update and I think I knew about most of them. I wasn't really following PsyberX too much but they did set a hard expectation for the game so I wonder if they will live up to those expectations.

I don't know... Those who tested it already could tell more. It is possible the game will look and feel cool and the economy won't live up to it. I believe most blockchain games have issues with the game economy. Some are very hard to solve.

I think the key to any game is whether or not it is fun first. If the game is good, people will naturally show up so that should be the focus of any game. The economy can be solved later because people are willing to deal with some issues if it means that they can play something fun.

Not necessarily. People who want fun would keep showing up. Farmers will milk the game economy to the ground and move on. And if the game economy is destroyed, and the game can't sustain itself, it's pretty much the end.

True but if the economy is good to an extent and there are safeguards, I think it should be fine.

if the economy is good

That's the challenge and often, as we have seen, an ongoing battle to adapt as weaknesses are exploited.

Thanks, John!

It's going to be weekly, except for weeks when I decide to write Walking Stories posts instead, so there's much more coming this year.
