Stuff comes and goes on the blockchain and people too I guess, it's just the way of it, but some stick. Concepts and users come along and get involved, work out well, or not, find traction and endurance, engagement and enjoyment, ignite in a flame of excitement then burn brightly but briefly, or meet an ignominious end and are soon forgotten, or simply just leave for whatever reason. It's the way of things.
We need concepts and users though, it's the former that attracts and retains the latter and now and then one comes along that I see as valuable and which I want to support.
Many concepts come along and mostly those who develop and promote them put in a lot of effort...effort is what the blockchain needs (along with other things) and if effort is expended in the right areas then rewards come...I'm talking about rewards for those who put the effort in but, in respect of the blockchain and everyone on it, we can all benefit too. It is, after all, everybody's blockchain.
Recently something came along called @holozing championed by @acidyo, who has expended a lot of energy and effort to create a new game-concept for the blockchain, (along with others who have supported him), and whilst I've been involved in a very small way as a delegator and am in no way involved in the project itself I feel I'm a part of it nonetheless, simply for the fact it's blockchain based.
I've made no secret of the fact I'm not a gamer and have no interest in gaming, I live my life in the real world, but having said that, I've also made no secret of the fact that I support the blockchain because I actually like and enjoy it and therefore have gone to some length to support it and various concepts, and users, who deserve it also. With that in mind, I decided to support the @holozing endeavour with a delegation of over 100,000HP some time ago.
I see @holozing and the Zing token concept as a good example of what the blockchain can be used for, a good vehicle to carry it forward and grow it and to help onboard new people which can only work well for all of us who enjoy the Hive blockchain. The fact I don't like gaming personally doesn't enter into the conversation, for me it's a blockchain thing not a gaming thing, and anything that can promote and grow the blockchain is something I will look into and potentially promote or support as with @holozing.
I'm not sure where the project will go and what benefit it may have to the blockchain overall but I feel it is good to have it here, and other projects like it, which can help to spread the word and reach new potential users. It's like throwing pebbles into the pond and causing ripples to spread out...only, in this case, those throwing the pebbles get to enjoy it a little better through playing the @holozing game should they wish to, and to earn some @zing tokens also.
Anyway, I felt inclined to write this, a simple statement confirming support for concepts like this which help underpin the blockchain and which could ultimately see it rise. I'll not play the game, no interest and no time, but that's not the point...the point is the blockchain - onboarding, progression and sustainability - and that's something worth supporting.
What are your thoughts on concepts that use the blockchain and have the potential to promote and grow it?
