Today was wild day in StepN land.

Prices have been tanking on both chains and people are freaking out.

I have a theory. It’s pure speculation so don’t hold me to it.

Here’s what *might* be happening. What do you think?

#STEPN #MoveToEarn
Today, the team announced that they would be removing GPS access to all players in Mainland China.

They we’re never allowed in the first place but they used VPNs and made up 5% of the user base.
I think it’s likely that many mint farms came from this group.

The news today may have spooked them into dumping all of their assets in case they lose access to the app.
If you watched the shoe dumps happen today like I did, you’d have seen lots of 0 mint shoes lvl 2-5 selling at floor price.

This phenomenon would fit the narrative.

I picked up a 0 mint lvl 5 jogger on BSC for 12 BNB because of it.
If this theory is true, I’d expect to see more shoe dumps happen over the next few hours. China is about to wake up and the players/farms who haven’t seen the news yet are going to dump their assets.

How does this play out?
We’ll have less people minting which will drive the floor prices up and make minting more profitable.

Again, this is just a theory. I could be dead wrong.

And if I am, I still made 130+ GST after repairs today at $12.55. That’s $1631 profit.

I have nothing to complain about.

1/ #STEPN AMA summary May 28, 2022

1. Yawn apologizes for overreacting to the community FUD.

2. Lots of developments in the background to create a leading Web 3 app. ie. 3rd realm launching in Phase V, Q3-Q4. Possibly more than 1 realm being rolled out by end of year.
2/ 3. 3rd Realm will be on a new blockchain.

4. New realms will keep being launched to give players options for different levels of earnings/investment. This will create sustainability until GMT earning is released, which will create a robust economy.
3/ 5. Mainland China users being removed from StepN on July 15 to comply with regulatory policies. Accounts will not be banned, they just need to be in a location where StepN is allowed.

If Mainland China opens up regulations in the future, StepN can remove this restriction.

1/ I bought a StepN shoe on BSC 2 days ago for 17 BNB (~$5100 USD).

Here's the story.

#STEPN #MoveToEarn #NFTgaming
2/ As you probably know, the markets have been falling off a cliff, and that includes crypto.

I went from earning $1000 a day to 'only' $500-$600 a day.

Fortunately, that opened up a new opportunity.
3/ About a month ago, StepN launched on a 2nd blockchain - BSC.

For a couple weeks, nothing really happened. Most of the genesis shoes were bought up by bots.

So on May 3, 2022, StepN decided to airdrop 10,000 BSC genesis shoes to the holders of the first 10,000 SOL shoes.
