Splinterlands has been on an absolute tear as of late. As more and more users onboard it is quite obvious what the crypto market wants. It’s not another gambling Dapp. Or another Ponzi scheme rug pull smart contract.

Nor is it another blockchain that mimics the existing legacy system. I mean lets get real. If people wanted to use the various legacy dynamics they would just use the existing financial system. You want to gamble then dial up E*Trade or excuse me Robinhood.

Blockchain is different as I’ve said on numerous occasions. And we don’t want to go the way of insanity by repeating the same mistakes as the legacy system. Instead, we should be creating something different. More importantly, things should be fun.

Life is more enjoyable when you can have fun. Stress and stressful living is very real. Just look at your neighbor grinding it out daily. There has to be a better way.

And if not then it needs to be created. Man was not meant to toil 24/7. Instead, we were meant to create and flourish. Time is too precious.

Which leads me to what I’ve previously discussed in a post long ago. Time itself is something we all share in common. This is true regardless of economic background. We each get 24 hours a day to work, play, eat, and sleep.

Some of us manage this time wisely. While others waste it away doing mundane things without compensation. Many work min wage jobs trading their time for the standard min wage. Enough to get by but not enough to thrive.

So in the not so distant future we will see a token to compensate you for your time. In fact, a popular blockchain is already planning this feature. Although, it is not quite ready at this time. But this may become the standard in crypto.

A time token can create a more fair distribution model that plague many blockchain projects. To get rewarded just for showing up can create a continuous reward system. It can also compensate fairly everyone in the ecosystem. Whales tend to dominate certain systems at this time.

It will also give people an opportunity to earn without investing. This component is very key for mass crypto adoption. Right now people are misinformed concerning crypto. Many believe because of the high dollar price of Bitcoin that participating is no longer an option.

While others feel that they have missed the boat. Of course the well informed know this to be false. Yet, making crypto easy for everyone is something that will make mass adoption achievable. Compensating one’s time makes the process seamless for all.

Just by gaming can one earn a token. No need to level up or accumulate XP. Instead, your gameplay time is your reward. Which means that gameplay can be enjoyable as opposed to a grind.

Now previously I had written about implementing a time bar for Leo Finance. Many were intrigued by this notion. Sadly, my work obligations have kept me from visiting this idea. Yet, I know that the concept would really help this entire ecosystem.

Time is something very precious to us all. Many of us don’t really know how much of it we have left. This fact alone makes it more valuable then anything on this planet. The tokenization of time is something to keep an eye on.
