Hi Fellow Hivers, How're you'll striving through the Bear?
Yeah, so a Little Bit of Introduction About Myself before I dive Into the Full Contents of this Post;
My Name is Chelsea Koby, and I got Onboarded into the Blockchain Space One year ago, It all Started from the very first Summoner's Spell Book which I purchased to Unlock Play2Earn Rewards in Splinterlands, here on Hive.
In other words, I started my Blockchain Adventure in the Hive Community, and Trust me, It was one of my Best Experiences Ever.
So there you have it, Before anything else Began in my Blockchain Adventure - I was a Gamer on Hive, and also Extended my Gaming Skills to Other Blockchain Networks, such as; Wax, Ronin, and Polygon.
During my Gaming Days, I was Having a Blast and Frequently Created Content across my experiences with Play2Earn, from Sharing about My Gaming Strategies and Beginner Tutorials to Competition in NFTs Contests and Special Community Events.
I was Blogging and at the same time, Earning from Multiple Sources - Like Hive Rewards, Play2Earn Token Rewards, and Contracts outside of Hive.
After all, I was one of the Lucky Few among Humanity, that was Experiencing something which I Initially, Could Not Fully Grasp, But Which Later got accepted as my new Reality.
Blockchain was Changing My Life in all the Places that Mattered and It Would be Impossible for me to Quit on It.
These Activities continued For Months, and I was becoming an Expert in the Ways of Blockchain (not like there are specific ways to use blockchain, but...) - Learning about Tricky DEFI, The Scary Aspects of Liquidity Staking, Becoming a Math Guru with NFTs Trading, Flipping Tokens, and Many more than I can count.
Then One day, It all Just Stopped.
Nothing Too Fancy, But what Happened to Me was This:
I was Experiencing the Full Capacity of what Freedom and Decentralization REALLY Meant, and I was Ready to Go the Extra Mile on it. The Next Few Months will Define my Professional, Career-Oriented, and Founder Life.
Portals Xperience Is Born
Jumping Straight Into this Section, the Two Things I Left Out from the previous Section were that: I'm a Huge Fan of Immersive XR Experiences AND I Absolutely Dislike Structured Environments Like Running A Business or Talking About some Career Shit.
Living my Blockchain Days as a Full Fledged Gamer (just wasn't streaming yet xD) and Content Creator was very Satisfying, But One day, I Had a Revelation, and Hence, My Startup Portal Xperience (PortalsX), was Formed.
It wasn't a Eureka Moment Like we Always See in Movies Or Read in Books, It was Rather an Intense Deliberate Action on My Part as I was Constantly Thinking - How can Gaming Bring About Real-World Global Changes?, How can It Directly Affect Peoples' Lives in the Areas that Mattered? (To me, they Were Financially, and Creation of Value).
When the Answer Came, It was Bundled in a Form that Perfectly Syncs with the Person I am and The Technologies that had Mattered to me for a Long Time (Since 2020). They were XR(Mixed Reality) and AI(Artificial Intelligence), and Blockchain was the Rugged Catalyst that I needed to Bring it Out.
Long Story Short, What is PortalsX?
Portals Xperience has Developed Into a Multiverse we are Building that will be Home to Diverse Brands of Fun Experiences from 3d Gaming and Interactive Film, to Music and Fashion NFTs.
The Core Vision of PortalsX is to Create an Ecosystem Thriving with Value, where Anyone can Create, Consume and Live on their Own Terms.
And for These to Happen, there has to be a combination of Players with Wildly Diverse Interests on a Social Platform, that Encourages them to Create, Get Rewarded, and Give back to the Ecosystem.
PortalsX is Targeted at Web3 Gamers and Traditional Players, therefore, We are Creating Our Own Guild that Will Help Onboard Players quickly, Easily, and Intuitively to Blockchain Gaming, and In turn Our Ecosystem.
And there you Have it, How I Went from a Gamer on Hive to a Startup Founder in a Period of One Year.
The Funny thought I'm having Right now is How Blockchain should be Advertised in the Media, as a Catalyst for Freedom to do Your Own Shit!.
And Back to My Journey?, PortalsX is in Active Development by a Small Team, and Our Goal is to Continue Competing in Top Hackathons, and Other funding Sources to Expand Our Team, and Build Faster.
The Main Exit I wanted to Leave in this Post is to Say that:
In the Coming Days and Weeks, I will be Releasing Content that Describes my Full Experience Building PortalsX, All the Questions I've been asking, and What I Learned at the End of Each Tunnel I explored.
These Posts will be 100% Practical and Entertaining BUT Majorly will act as Stepping Stones for Players(Folks) on the Same Path as Mine, to Figure Out Major Shit About Building a Blockchain-Based Startup.
And with All these, I say Como Estas AND See you Next Time!
