When Steem Engine launched i was someone that was skeptical about the performance of those tokens. Their use cases being too similar to Steem and not really offering much beyond that.
As expected most of them withered away and died off with only a few left standing. Those that differentiated themselves the most from the original chain they stemmed from.
Im actually quite impressed with the development of a few of them. One ofc being @steemleo or @leofinance as its called now.
They went their own unique way and its starting to look as if its payed off. LEO went 5x in a matter of days and theres even rumors about a listing happening soon.
Tokens like this that arent simply clones of Hive are the tokens that you can build an ecosystem around. Ecosystems like that of Ethereum or EOS.
Take another example. DEC. The in-game currency of @splinterlands. Its use case is wholly different then that of most other H-E tokens.
Now, i can say im a bit biased here but i consider Splinterlands by far the best dapp ive yet tried in crypto.
Even when compared to games that got funded with tens of millions of dollars like Gods Unchained on Ethereum, Splinterlands is far superior.
That game has turned out into a complete mess with its poorly thought out economics. Its unbalanced and its market being so slow that i still have some 50-60$ worth of cards i left behind since selling anything there is a pain in the neck.
DEC ofc is a inflationary token but it seems that they have figured out how to keep the inflation at a manageable level. imo, still some improvement needed.
With more folks coming to Splinterlands and with the new expansion that will add a lot of new mechanics as well as incentives to hold DEC i feel the price could finally enter a growth phase.
Something that has already started.
With so many people talking about Splinterlands on twitter, with the listing on DappRadar it was bound to happen sooner rather then later.
For those reasons i purchased about 350k DEC that ill hold for the land airdrop that should happen later this year with the expansion release.
The question atm is when will Aggroed and Matt make the move towards listing DEC on a external exchange. Im sure that has already been discussed internally.

Also on the gaming theme, take a look at City Tokens. Huge following and enthusiastic players spending a fortune on game cards using Hive and tokens. They also accept any other tokens as payment on the open market.
dcity.io is where it's at. Splinterlands is soooooooo last year ;-)
I heard about it but never actually opened it. Ill check it out.
DEC is already listed on TRX markets (from before the Justin Sun stuff).
I think ionomy would be a good place to start since they are gaming focused.

Yeah i know. I dont really count that. :)
Ionomy is a good idea. Im sure they had these talks internally, about getting DEC listed. What i dont know is why they havent pulled the trigger yet?
Splinterlands has a big and active community, its the biggest crypto dapp played by quite a few influential folks on twitter. I think they could even shoot higher then ionomy, maybe even a mid tier exchange.
As a big believer in the power of the different tokens that are appearing on Hive, I agree with your sentiment.
A few of the HE communities are really forging ahead. It is small compared to the number that started but I guess that is normal. Only a tiny percentage of things tried ends up successful.
External exchanges for some of these tokens would be great. It would help to increase the visibility of what is taking place on here.

I am a bit out of the loop. The airdrop for holding DEC - do I need to hold that in my splinterlands account, or can it be in Hive Engine?
Im not sure but i think it wont matter since i think the accounts are connected. Im positive there will be a announcement well before it happens.
In answer to your question, hell yes! External listing could potentially bring a shitload of value into this ecosystem.
Time to spam @aggroed DMs with "When Binance listing for DEC!"😂
Beer is already listed on cryptex24.io so technically it's possible. Rumors are they are about to add another he token, one of these days 🤣

Yes, i think i heard the same rumor from someone. 😜
It also be nice if the he team provided a tool or guidelines or whatever for third party exchanges so that they can actually list he tokens. I mean , adding an eth token is probably super easy, possibly requiring only a couple clicks.
Addind an he token? Even if you give them money they probably won't know how to do it and either say it's technically impossible or ask extra fees for the trouble.
Hmm, so you dont think the HE team has created anything in that direction?
Thats a bit strange.
Maybe they have? I have no fucking idea
DEC is the likely option. They got the attention of Ubisoft lately and will feature in a startup support thingy. Huge things are going to happen in Splinterlands soon.
I feel like thats true. I put my money where my mouth is and bought 350k. Ill prolly buy up to a million.
Nice. I buy a few of them but mostly just invest it in my cards. Once I can comfortably get into Champion 3, I'll stop buying cards and just hodl DEC.
