Monster Maverick Show: Recent Episodes

Neal McSpadden

This is the Monster Maverick Show where we talk about all things Splinterlands, the collectible card game (CCG) where you actually own your cards.

Each week we discuss updates, trends, the game economy, and more.

It's gaming, it's crypto, it's blockchain.

I know it's been a while since I've uploaded an episode. But they've been happening! Watch for more episodes to be uploaded soon(TM)!

Splinterlands is expanding to #BSC aka Binance Smart Chain with the new governance token announcement from last week. We go over some of the details of how that all is going to work, the latest Untamed airdrop card, and play some whale games with lands.

It was a great time as always. We talked about the new Beatrix Ironhand airdrop, new rewards cards and rulesets, more music from @isaria, new liquidity bots for novice and bronze leagues, and a whole lot more.  Of course, I also announced my new show, Tax Sherpa Stories. If you're into business, finance, and tax, then it's the show for you.

As always, we covered a lot of ground in the show today. We talked about the newest Untamed airdrop due to be hitting in a day or two, the new rental system from Peakmonsters, possible tournament updates, some of @isaria's new music for the game, the OCC's announcement for banks and crypto, and more. 

Also, special announcement about my new show that will be Mondays at 3pm Eastern: Tax Sherpa Stories.

A bit of a short one today as we ran into some technical problems about 12 minutes in. But I start off the show with a recap of what I was discussing so you aren't missing much.

We went into a fairly deep dive on the DEC/ETH Uniswap market, impermanent loss, market gains, and how being pegged to ETH may introduce some really unusual price dynamics. We also updated the numbers for the expected value of RAFFLE tokens (check the chart below) now that we know how many tokens there are for the drawing on Jan 26. Make sure your tokens are in your game wallet before the drawing. One thing I wanted to get into but didn't have time for was the new announcement about how banks are permitted to use stable coins. More on that coming in the next week.

We had a great show to round out the year that was 2020. We discussed player growth (double!), year end tournaments, the new DEC incentives for Uniswap liquidity pools, lands pre-sale, the upcoming raffle, the future of crypto and the price of $BTC, and more.  Need a splinterlands account?

It turned out to be a great pre-Christmas show. We had one of the Splinterlands founders, yabapmatt, drop by. We talked about developments in user growth, the rentals markets, guild brawls, DEC inflation, and a whole lot more.

It was a full show as always. The Splinterlands team dropped a new post on totems right when the show started, so we went through that live. Yaba was really laying out the potential of legendary totems to be used on Overflowing (the legendary version of lands) plots. I re-ran that numbers for expected value of raffle tickets based on the idea that a legendary totem would cost about as much as a gold-foil legendary card.  We also discussed the DEC market, general crypto and $BTC prices, and even did a season rewards opening.

It was a great Monster Maverick show today, and I encourage everyone to join the live discord audience ( https://discord.gg/QBsa8fd ). We talked about the state of the crypto market, especially how DeFi is going to change so many things including how we trade inside Splinterlands. I briefly discuess YIELDBONDA, my new crypto bond that pays 15% interest. We also got into the raffle tickets that are being drawn in January. I went through some back of the envelope math with what the expected value of a ticket might be. There are a lot of unknowns in that calculation, but I feel like we got to a good approximation.
