I have the cards in stock now. Shoot me a DM if interested. Also a spell of 7 damage to nearest enemy has been added 

Hello!

If I understand well the concern raised by some of you are the following:

- 1. BitCrystals price is having a downtrend and you feel the EDS team doesn't care about it and doesn't put the effort to change it.
- 2. Some people are unhappy with our Marketing strategy thinking we are wasting resources.
- 3. Some people think the solution for a sustainable growth of the project awareness and boost is to be listed on Chinese exchange and for some reason we are not going for it.
- 4. Some people are unhappy with the launch delay.

This is how I oversee the Spells of Genesis project.
In my opinion, compared to lots of other projects we are focusing mainly on delivering value and not much on delivering hype cycles. EDS is not a company that was built over a coin or an asset. We have experience raising funds and delivering value to the end user. I believe a sustainable success comes from a successful way to deliver value to the end user, a user that will actually pay for the benefit. There is time to raise funds, create hype on a promise, and there is a time to build a sustainable product.

My prediction is we are heading sooner or later to a “Token Sale Hangover”. There is a lot of hype over altcoins and a lot of speculation. Right now altcoins have market caps that don't reflect their actual value. No project springs to mind where a company or a end user (outside the crypto space) are willing to pay for. When this hangover will take place there will be a severe correction among altcoins valuation. At EDS we need to make sure we have a solid product and customers who are willing to pay for when the bubble bursts.

This is the very reason the main indicator for us is not the BCY price but SoG’s user engagement, user retention, feedback, etc. Failing to do good with this numbers will sooner or later bring us to the wall whatever value BCY has today.
This is why I'm focusing our communication resources toward card sales and mostly analytics, because at the end of the day that is the product’s value. I measure the success on the number of people who are purchasing cards because they enjoy playing with them. I am personally astonished by those numbers, they are incredible. The engagement and the expense per user is way higher than industry standards. I'm also aware that those numbers are very promising even though they only address a hardcore fanbase. The game is tailored to people who have extensive knowledge of it. This is the reason I decided to take more time to work on features for newcomers to make sure they also will be hooked to SoG.

We could have rushed to launch early but I think it is for the project’s own good to be polished. Going earlier might create hype for a short time frame but overall it would be a lost opportunity. Might have appealed to 25% of the hardcore users but not to the other 75%.

So I’m pretty certain that our strategy is healthy and solid. I also don’t like seeing BCY going down, however resources are scarce so should I put more effort on the coin marketing and less in understanding the product data and optimise it? I feel this may not be a good idea, and could jeopardise the final product.

Nobody is perfect but we try our best, our marketing could be focused on every single aspect of SoG and other stuff could be improved as well. I believe in the power of many. I believe if together we are putting our energy to fill the gaps that will make us stronger. I understand people getting nervous because they feel the project is not progressing quickly enough. Wouldn’t be better putting energy from frustration and complaints into positive actions? For example thanks a lot to GroundBEEFtaxi who posts regularly on Reddit about SoG, this kind of actions will definitely help.

So I encourage you to push us in the right direction, as you already do. We are constantly polishing the product and the strategy to have the best possible outcome. I exhort people to make suggestions, but even more to act in a positive way, as the majority of the community already does. It will help to push the project to the Moon.

Gemz community will need to step up and let Poloniex know that they dont support delist of coin.  It happened same with LTBc.  I expect that to actually happen, but i am not always right.

Definitely agree. Look at the forums here everyone has lost faith and stopped posting here. The project is going down fast and something needs to change.

Hallo, did you watch what happened to Gemz price?

-60% in two days just because the only market with big liquidity, Poloniex, decided to delist Gemz.

Now : DO YOU REALIZE THE DANGER?

To be listed in more than one important market is not a cute optional, is something vital for the project.

Please do not ignore this topic. Right now bitcrystals are under a potential blackmail from poloniex. More liquidity, more interest and more volume on the coin are vital.

yeah mandelduck did great linking indiesquare with sarutobi , great move even if i can't play sarutobi at all on android phone , will try with iphone seems more usable

Sorry: *the management
*they are over
*my friends to put money in a thing that is managed
*yes yes for sure

I'm have to repeat myself just because I agree with Abicidieffe, and I think we are repeating the same concept: if they management don't care (and they don't care at all) price dinamics NOW, they'll are over.

The game is over, gamers are over for a simple reason: no one will invest here. And, curiosly, these project live on because of money flow. Not because of ideas, sensations, dreams and so on.

They have to learn from the crypto you mentioned: their collegueas are now swimming in the money, they can pay for better developers, for better marketing and so on.

Am I crazy or is it so difficult to understand that if the world (let say a few "big hands" in financial sector) looks at Bitcrystals, everything would bè better and EASIER for all of EDS?

I'm here and I will be here for all 2016 I think, I don't invest for day trading, but I have to say that the management is not what they look to me some months ago.

I did a mistake, probably, I know and I personally don't suggest any more to any of my friends to puttana money in a thing that is manager like this, without any direction.

Oh, there is the game... it's right. One day it will be released and people will go crazy for it all around the world, because it will appear everybody in everybody's dreaming. People will run on app stores to get it, paying every amount of money!
Yes yes for sere this will be our future!!!

Or not?

What link?

I really dont have time for this i tried to register and join in last half year like 10 times.

This is a new link, it was updated a week ago. That should work, just enter your email address and you should receive an invite which will allow you to login.

New user account just popping by to say: happy trolling day! Today is actually Bitcoin Pizza Day, guys have a pizza and chill.

The team knows what they are doing, marketing is also going on for what you can market a product that is not even launched yet.
I believe the team should concentrate on development and not getting distracted by a few that want to make money with BCY right now, today, possibly because they want to invest in Ether or TheDao...

You can not join slack channel unless your email is approved. I spend quite soem time trying to. unless they add all emails people registered in game to chanel is a silly to have link to it from game, it just waste peoples time trying to get there.

In fact i like that they are working on (even if the game now is horrible), but it's a waste of time if they don't do marketing, is this a good thing for who believed in this coin and invested in? NO.

Great so I can buy some more cheap coins and complete my deck

It's not that the price will go down but IS going down. Every day in fact. Today we will sink below 10k satoshi.

I am still of the opinion that the value of BCY will come from users playing the game, not from trading on exchanges.
Yes you can make a bit of money while the coin goes up for a few days once it's added to a Chinese exchange...
But do you seriously think that Chinese people are so much into gaming projects?

And don't you think the team has already sent requests to various Chinese exchanges?

Guys seriously, if the game is fun and great to play the Apple and Google Stores will give value to BCY not a freaking Chinese exchange.

I understand projects like Ethereum, Factom, Siacoin (which is like Storj) may get a lot of traction on a Chinese exchange but BCY, right now?
The game hasn't even launched yet... Wait for it to be available then even Chinese gamers can play it and I'm sure they'll be more keen on adding support on exchanges.

Also all these projects that get on a Chinese exchange have their own blockchain, BCY is off Counterparty so any exchange needs to first integrate XCP for that to happen.
Get that going first, then maybe they'll be more keen to add BCY, of course if there's any interest.

You guys sound like hey just send a request to Yunby, YouanBao, etc and they'll add BCY tomorrow... Get real.
Why don't you go and bust XCP's balls to get added on Chinese exchanges, that may be the best way to go at it.

Where did you guys come from. There are many other coins you can dump. Litecoin. Dogecoin. Ripple Stellar you need to pick on bitcrystals. We want to see bitcrystals grow and build its reputation as an in game currency. If you think nobody will play the game you are entitled to your opinion but don't shit on the people working hard on it. They have put in the work and the effort. You do not have the right to criticize and berate them.

Just to point out how the real world work.

Do you remember when bitcrystals spiked over 0.0002?

Now I tell you a blockchain story:

Eds own at least a couple of big bitcrystals account:

1) https://counterpartychain.io/address/1J59oicHWyFNoqUKSBDksiHsVpHdhEZDcm
2) https://counterpartychain.io/address/1N4iYoft4eMd3CoKc4z6MXSr5r4B3dUgPT

Well, my dear Alices, eds in those "spike" day did one transactions sending some bitcrystals here:

https://counterpartychain.io/address/1BCYpzZAmH3pX7EXU6s4gxtG1AoVMn2NfJ

as a final destination.

Do you know what this special address is?

Spoiler: is the Poloniex address. All the bcy traded on Poloniex are stored at that address

To be precise in those spike day EDS send to poloniex:

300.000bcy from
https://counterpartychain.io/address/1N4iYoft4eMd3CoKc4z6MXSr5r4B3dUgPT

And these 300.000bcy were not related in any way to the burning process (the 50% of the revenue which come from selling cards)

End of the story.

So, EDS took advantage rightly (i must repeat: rightly) for the price spike, making cash to its operation and development.

My Alices, bcy price matter, the concept of "price stability" is the last resort for a loser.
