What is POINTS Cryptocurrency?

in #points7 years ago (edited)

Points this. Points. It seems like everywhere we turn we are earning points.

Win a tournament you get STEEM, SBD, Beyondbit, Whaleshares, and/or points.

Enter a challenge or contest you get SBD, Beyondbit, Whaleshares, and/or points.

Even off Steemit, everywhere you turn you are being handed points for your purchases, your loyalty, and other behaviors in your life.

So isn't time for an cryptocurrency called Points?

Enter the beauty of the time we live in.

It has never been a better time to establish a long-term electronic currency with value.

POINTS will be one of these currencies.

Initially, POINTS will be distributed and traded on the Bitshares network.

The ultimate goal of POINTS is to be a vehicle of real, positive change that will introduce humans unfamiliar with cryptocurrency.

It will be distributed to social media influencers on other platforms to be used similar to Beyondbit and Whaleshares. they will be given away as an additional prize or reward for contests, challenges, and loyalty.

This will introduce the social media influencers to crypto and Steemit, and will also introduce their social media followers to it as well.

This is the synergy we have been waiting for.

A long-term cryptocurrency for good that will be used by people as a gateway into the world of cryptocurrency.


Besides being distributed to social media influencers, POINTS will be given away on Steemit as well.

Both the Beat Battle League and the Community Poker Game hosted by @nicnas and the upcoming Community Casino Blackjack game hosted by @bethalea use/will use Points as an additional reward and way to track rankings.

The Beat Battle League currently calculates Points as the number of SBD + Whaleshares earned that week.

For example, in Week Two of the League @verbal-d won 25 SBD and 60 Whaleshares earning himself 85 points (25+60).

These points are updated every week to reflect the current standings and allow every member of the League to see where they stand in the battle for the championship belt.

Little did they know each Point they have earned so far will be exchanged for a real-life cryptocurrnecy called POINTS.

The exchange will happen on October 2, 2017.

The top three (3) in the standings will have the option to redeem their points for the cryptocurrency POINTS. If you do so, then their Beat Battle League score will be reset to 0 and they can start the climb back up the Beat Battle League Leaderboard.

Or they can keep their points and remain where they are in the standings and try for the ultimate goal of the top spot in the League and a real Beat Battle League championship belt.

For example, if @shakazula is still in the top three on October 2, 2017 then he wil have the option to redeem the amount of points he was earned throughout the weeks of the League for the cryptocurrency POINTS.

If he doesn't redeem his points, then he will maintain his spot in the top three (3) of the leaderboard and continue the climb to the championship.

Season One of the Beat Battle League ends January 1, 2018 with the winner being announced that night.

The winner receives a League championship belt and some bonus prizes.

So Beat Battle League members and Steemians waiting to join the League, the time is now to act.

It's free, fun , and a great way to earn recognition, feedback , and rewards.

The Community Poker Game gives away points the following way:

  • 1 POINTS per Upvote/Call (4 per week)
  • 3 POINTS for a victory
  • 3 POINTS (1 per week) for posting an epic piece of content about the Community Casino and/or Community Poker

That is up to an extra 10 POINTS, a real-life cryptocurrency of value, Steemians can earn each week by having some fun with fellow Steemians.

It's free what do you have to lose?

A Community Casino Poker Game is going on now. For more information go here: https://steemit.com/contest/@nicnas/community-poker-hand-4-win-23-sbd-guaranteed-50-voiceshare-sign-ups

And as you can see below the standings are tracked week to week.

A similar exchange will happen with the Steemians who play in the Community Poker game. The Points they have and will earn will be exchanged for real-life cryptocurrency of value in the near future.

POINTS will go live next week so stay tuned to more updates and new leagues such as the Steemit Music League that will incorporate POINTS as another way to reward Steemians who participate.

Nice job monetizing the same post twice in 8 days.

That would be projection.

When a new product or service comes out, similar to the iPhone, during the pre-launch phase (usually lasts 4-6 weeks), brand awareness is essential for success.

So what you are seeing are brand awareness activities, not monetization efforts.

Monetization is used when you exploit people, places, ideas, or platforms.

And that is what we are fighting with POINTS.

We also have an appearance on the Whaletank coming up so this post is intended to also help the audience and participants of the show understand POINTS better.

But I really appreciate you taking the time, effort, and resources out of your day to look through all my content. That's epic buddy. Especially when you could be creating content or doing anything else in your life.

That shows you care about me and I really appreciate that my friend.

Thanks again :)

God bless.

I just saw this post in my feed on my smoke break this morning and knew I had already seen it. I understand brand awareness. I also understand declining a payout for a post that's been copied and pasted from a week ago. Justify it any way you'd like, it's still unscrupulous.

I mean if you read it you can clearly tell the differences.

So like I said projection.

I have learned from the Four Agreements to not take anything personally my friend.

God bless.

Namaste :)

Declining a payout on this post would have accomplished the same goal, and would have even shone a good light on you and points, but all I see is a second attempt to earn on something that didn't do too great the first time around. $8 eight days ago, $50+ this time around.

Like I said this is clearly projection. If you aren't sure what that is, a deep dive on it will help out a lot my friend.

I could care less about post payouts.

You only believe I do because that is what you think about. Like you just said you were on your smoke break implying you work for someone else in a hourly or salary position. So you are still stuck in that mindset buddy.

I am not. Money is just one of the tools the Universe blesses us with to inspire real, positive change.

Wish you the best in your journey.

God bless.

Lmao. Way to judge somebody for working for a living. Keep trying to justify unscrupulous behavior, it'll catch up with you in time.

Like I said projection.

I have worked almost every type of job you can think of so definitely no judgement my friend.

God bless.

Will points underlying technology be its own blockchain, or will it be a usecase on another blockchain like Ethereum or some other?

It will start off on Bitshares but you touched on the other things we are doing at the same time :)

Definitely really pumped to integrate this epic technology into a cross platform crypto that anyone and everyone an use and learn about crypto from.

Thanks for caring.
