Hello everyone!
I started this challenge back in early October, and at that time, I didn’t know about such a powerful ecosystem as HIVE. It’s truly impressive, especially for someone from my hometown 😅
Anyway, I’m excited to share my ideas with the English-speaking community and hope to improve my English skills along the way.
What goals am I pursuing with this challenge?
1. Attracting new players to the game.
If we want to see a new high above the $8 level, it's unlikely to happen just because $ETH has gone up in price. I think that with the current sentiment, the fuel might last up to $3-5 at best. Therefore, the primary goal is to increase the game's market cap.
Challenges like this are more appealing to ordinary people, not just Web3 enthusiasts or crypto fan.
2. Self-discipline.
I haven’t missed a single day yet, and I feel a small but real responsibility to keep going. It motivates me to play 10 games a day. Also, the game is very engaging. I’ve been actively playing since September 2024, although I registered a long time ago, probably back in 2021.
3. Satisfaction from completing the distance.
There are marathoners and sprinters, right? I’m definitely more of the latter. In daily tasks and challenges, I can push myself hard and deliver great results in the short term, but with long-term projects, I struggle. So in a way, this challenge is also about personal growth.
What I’ve done so far.
YouTube (for the ru-speaking aud): I’m considering starting a separate playlist for funny moments that will be understandable in any language, like in this video
But I’m playing on ZooWar, guys, and there aren’t too many funny moments 😂
Plus, I’m not sure if mixing multilingual audiences is good for YouTube’s algorithms.
Telegram, but i don’t think you’ll find it interesting
Here’s a table with my progress, investments, and profitability.
About the challenge
It’s very simple:
I’m farming 570 coins a month, and by October 2025, I’ll have 6840 $GODS, expecting the price to be at least $3.5 per token. However, given the current market trends, I believe this might happen sooner, but I won’t be upset if the price remains within the $0.20-$0.50 range by the end of the year. What matters is that I’ve completed the full 1-year distance, and I’ll be especially happy if I don’t miss a single day.
But here's something I honestly don’t understand, guys — why are there so few players in this game, and WHERE ARE ALL THE HEARTHSTONE PLAYERS? I used to play HS a lot in the first 4-5 expansions, I even bought an iPad specifically for this game because of the vibe... We used to battle with friends most of the time, building fun decks and playing arenas. I was in my early 20s, and those were great times.
But I didn’t return because of nostalgia; I came back because the CCG genre is finally realized 100%. In HS, you had great gameplay, but that was only 50% of the game. What you "collected" turned into dust most of the time, whereas here there’s a secondary market, all these NFTs, and amazing gameplay! I’m not a Web3 gaming expert, but it seems like 95% of the existing projects are simply unplayable.
A friend of mine says the issue is that everything is so unfriendly to Web2 users — install MetaMask, figure out tokentrove, find all of this and learn it, and on top of that, most people still distrust cryptocurrencies, especially in my region.
It's definitely not about the price. I put together my first deck for $10, which is not a lot of money even for a poor country like Russia. The problem is that people just don't know about it and are too lazy to think about how to spend the money. It's easier for them to spend it through the familiar online cash register. I hope the current tothemoon catches the greed of these people and makes them deal with the situation while the developers make web 3 more beginner friendly.
