I'm a huge fan of Steem Monsters.
I think it's an amazing addition to the Steem blockchain.
But for me this project stands out for another reason.
What the makers of the upcoming game have shown is that it's absolutely possible to monetize the Steem blockchain as an entrepreneur without relying on upvotes (reward pool).
Don't believe me...Just check their wallet :)
For me they are a huge example of what is possible on Steem.
Steemians are buying card packs ($2 USD each) every day to try to complete their collection with STEEM/SBD or with other crypto.
It's a great continious revenue stream for Steem Monsters and a model which they can build upon in the future in the form of new cards packs with different cards.
And now they come up with another brilliant idea to expand on their entrepreneurship.
A Steem Monsters Market.
This is what the market looks like:
These are the current prices for epic gold foil monster cards in USD. You can see the highest and lowest offer
On the market it is possible for players to buy and sell their cards easily.
I bought some cards yesterday and it works like a charm.
From every transaction the Steem Monster team takes 2%.
It's a good extra continuous revenue stream for them they can use to further develop this game.
(Don't worry trading cards as before between players is also still possible and free)
It's also very cool to see the price development on these cards happen.
Nobody really knows what they are worth and with this market I suspect things to become clear very soon.
All in all an extremely cool update by Steem Monsters.
ps.
My own Monster Boss story is coming along nicely btw.
I can't wait to fight you all in game :)

Wish it could help raise the price of Steem
It does help to raise the price, we need more apps on the steem blockchain. @journeyoflife
We need to get Steem into the exchanges itself
Yes that will bring more value but it is already on Binance, I think it is more important to get fiat pairings so that we dont have to buy bitcoin to buy steem.
Great project it is for sure and more wonderful is that they keep on implementing new things which is always good for any project out there on steem blockchain :)
I always like the idea of markets withing a game because sometimes the only way your ever going to get certain thing is to work hard save money and buy it, for those who want to take their changes that option remains available of course @exyle anyway this is a great idea on their part.
The market its pretty cool looking and the cards are already fairing a decent price too :-) Glad i bought some packages a while ago but i will be holding my cards for a while!
Same here!
I am glad you gave a bigger perspective than just @steemmonsters. This is a model for others to follow in the future. Each break though we see on the STEEM blockchain only provides a methodology for others to follow. This all serves to increase the value of the blockchain since it will create activity.
We are going to see a ton of develop over the next two years with many interesting ways of financing things. Over time, we are going to be blown away by what takes place on here. The creativity of Steemians is coming to the forefront.
Hodling STEEM is a very wise thing to do in my opinion.
100% man!
It is a great example of what can be done on the Steem Blockchain @exyle. I'm looking forward to seeing what other innovations are coming. 😊
Steem monsters is an amazing and creative project; it was a very smart idea and I wish them great success when the game starts in September. Am planning to buy some packs later :)
This is a great project.
Don't you miss the feeling of opening packs in paper packs, and real cards?
I feel like printing and cutting these cards somehow. But I am a retro guy. 😉
I remember that feeling! But I prefer digital now and especially on the blockchain now that I know each card is unique.
Mark @exyle if this doesn't show Entrepreneurship I don't what does........ Good Luck Monster Boss !
Hi @exyle friend, I hope you're okay.... first I'd like to know what's up with that...
I mean, is there anything beyond that? I would like to know... on the other hand I would like to know about this game, it attracts my attention and I honestly don't know how to play it, I would like someone experienced like you to explain it to me. Could it be that I can talk to you for disagreement?
Without further ado I send you greetings from Venezuela with the hope that we can talk.... a big hug friend, go on, successes for you, I will wait for your next post.
It is really a good app and game brother, hope you maintain the winning streak?
When battling comes out.
Steemmonsters will become the hottest blockchain game !!!!
99.99%
Pretty exciting. Going to list my first cards on the market... let's see what happens! @ironshield

Hmm I also liked steem monsters but the fact that they are another way to pteneur the block chain is something of a bonus to its benefits. I love it even more now and don't have to rely on up votes much. Thanks for.sharing. learnt something great from ya.
An advancement from the blockchain to other area. This will definitely help it's growth. Do enjoy it, but to this part of Africa is it available at all.
It's great that means the game is advanced in a positive way by implementing these new exchange systems to help players with the buying and selling experience
steem monster market for sure is very lovely and helpful too. awesome game and brilliant market for trading cards and all. it replaces waiting for votes too. awesome one. thanks for sharing.
This is something new. I like it.
That is awesome that they are adding new features to help them sustain the project. It is only fair that they get some form of compensation for all of the hard work they are putting into it.
