Yeah, it's all quite confusing at the moment but they are fixing it and once you get a hang of it it's actually really addictive.
It's not a game like the other crypto play2earn 'games'/schemes which would all instantly drop 99% of their player base the moment the rewards collapse. Clash of Streamers is made as a game literally for the masses to get addicted to tapping around getting a dopamine rush at some point being hit by a wall where they either have to wait until the next day to get new free gems to progress or by spending some microtransactions. The difference with other of these types of mobile games (which billions of dollars are being spent on) is that you are able to export your heroes/pets onto the blockchain and sell / buy them from others (you can see heroes/pets as splinterlands cards or Axies in that way). In order to export you need Crypton which is one of the many virtual in-game currencies the game works with. You start passively generating Crypton a bit later in the game after a couple weeks already and it also comes with microtransaction deals. PRPS and DUBI also are integrated into the game (they can't be earned it the game right now but it might get integrated at some point. There is a lot of slots and gambling mini-games and the plan is to at some point start dropping real prizes to players). Anyway, everything in-game can be bought with them getting +30% extra bang for your buck (especially aimed at whales) and what those coins are being burned. It also is possible to include those into heroes to make them stronger but I'm not exactly sure how that works now.
Basically, the way I see it, being invested in PRPS equals being invested in the game betting on it taking off and doing well the coming years as this would increase the demand for the token. The tokenomics also just really reward getting in early and I have no trust issues toward the team that is creating the game and future projects that will work with these coins.
I really just enjoy zooming out playing the game 5 minutes a couple of times during the day (it's designed for short sessions). I am also grinding my way up during that time hopefully being able to get some Maxed out heroes getting enough crypton to export them and possibly sell them. There is no guarantee that they will be worth a lot though but it certainly is a possibility.
I hope this clears things out, if you have more questions, feel free to ask!
Thanks a lot for your lengthy answer.
Yes, I am tapping like mad, for more than five minutes yesterday. Today I didn't start the game yet which I consider a small victory :)
As I see it I need to level the Best game to the max to be able to see all the in-game currencies. Starting with gems that are really plentiful.
Have a great and swift Friday. Good luck tonight!
I made a post further explaining the main gameplay loop of the game which should make everything less confusing to new players until the new tutorial is released.

Thanks. I'll read it tomorrow. Over the weekend I didn't play much. Still, I unlocked blockchain and maxed Best Game. It's progress :)
