1/9 Watched a video on @staratlas with @at_mwagner and had to share this transcript. I think that this mindset so so infinitely important for a blockchain-gaming project to be able to succeed long term.
Important factors:
- iteration
- openness & vision of decentralization
2/9 I'll post the quotes first and my thoughts thereafter.
3/9 This is a product though that isn't ever intended to be complete. That might sound crazy - where we're starting though is releasing these iterative models. So over time we're just releasing features, we're not making you wait 7 years.
4/9 We're pushing out a minigame right away so you can start to get a feel for the mechanics. We'll be releasing Unreal Engine 5 modules, possibly as early as Dec or early Jan - which is like a showroom where you can go in 3d space, explore ships, walk around and purchase items.
5/9 But every probably 6 months after that we'll be rolling out something new and all it does is to continue to enhance the experience and at some point in the future people will be able to come in and contribute as well.
6/9 So it's not so incumbent on us to create every single feature, we let people come in and create their own features which they're able to extract value from and that just contributes to the overall economy.
7/9 These are all direct quotes from this Youtube video:
(11:09)
8/9 As mentioned in one of my previous threads, I think a vision of decentralization of decision-making is elemental for the future success of a blockchain-based player-owned metaverse:
9/9 Wasn't currently looking for this kind of info, but it once again reassured me, that @at_mwagner has the right mindset and I assume/hope that this is also transferred to the @staratlas team. If this is the case, that already sets a good foundation everyone to build upon.

Ok so I feel like I need to make a quick post on @roguesocietynft.
Rogue Society is not just a simple pfp project, they're going in a similar direction as @pixelvault_ & @punkscomic. SIMILAR, not same.
What do I like about the project?
- The art
- Presale
- The planned utility

THE ART (set of 15'777):
Disclosure: I got into the presale as an early adopter and yes I am currently passionately shilling my bags, thank you for asking.
Look at this special edition piece. Personally, I fkin love the art.
The story behind how 'Jason from Telegram' tried to explain his investment thesis to @CryptoCobain about his Pixeldick NFTs on @UpOnlyT is easily one of the funniest things I've seen this year😂.
Interestingly enough, I am now reading one of the articles that Jason sent @CryptoCobain about why men draw dicks on everything: vice.com/en/article/53n…
And see, this is the problem of Freudian psychology:
"So, essentially, the people who are drawing penises over and over again are trying to assert that they have the power. That they have the phallus and do not lack."
Overinterpretation. Jeez, can't a man draw dicks for fun?

So I promised to provide additional information on some thoughts I had about the future decentralization of @staratlas and information that I gathered from interviews with @at_mwagner on YouTube.
Sry for the missing '/12's sometimes. Had no space left - hurts my eyes too.

POLIS will govern decision making and make it possible realized cashflows from ingame economic activity.
Outside of the game, “the POLIS token gives people voting rights externally for the future development decision making of @Staratlas as an entity”.
3/ But in the end, there currently is one company behind this. I assume that with the hype around this project they will be able to pull a good amount of money in with the sale of in-game NFT assets and at the same time hopefully create an amazing experience for players as well.
1/20 @StarAtlas is a play to earn game built on the @Solana blockchain. Scope of this project is around 5 years until the full unreal engine 5 version is released, but there are many steps until we actually reach that point.
Here’s a thread based on the research I conducted. 🧵
2/20
I’m very excited about this game. I’m a sucker for space exploration, crypto & NFTs, so this is 100% down my alley.
Table of contents:
-Presale and early access
-Four elements of the game
-Release phases
-Tokenomics
-In-game collaboration
-Future decentralization
1/3 Quick thought on why CBDCs (central bank digital currencies might be a good thing. Spoiler: wallets get more mindspace.
First of all, I'd assess the quality of CBDCs in whatever country by the following continuums (I hate black or white, there are always different shadings):
2/3 - Privacy VS governmental control
- Does a state want to 'ban cash'?
- Decentralization
- Openness of access to being able to validate transactions with state-independant nodes
- Is the country pro crypto?
Am I missing anything here?
3/3
CBDCs are coming in the next 5-10 years and will make having digital wallets seem even more normal than today. At least semi-bullish for crypto understanding! Will make the transotion to crypto-native stuff so much easier for the 'normies'.
