altheshort: oh yes but how can they compete with google or apple store userbase? if you need to sell 3x more when you put it on ionomy platform it makes no sense at all. any sane dev would rather buy ads / downloads to boost their store rank with less money. unless its standalone and you can sell it separately in stores but im quite sure thats not the case. they need the stores to be fiat processors hence buying electrons with ions will never be allowed (the stores wont get their cut)
standalone would solve the next issue tho:
most people are not tech-savvy and if you ask a random sampling what bitcoin is they would say internet funny money but at least they know the word bitcoin + that it has some value based on something they dont understand. its complex enough already and ionomy adds another layer of complexity: ions (internet), electrons (in-app / website), staker (website). electrons boost stakers which hold ions and generate more ions that you can use at their shop or sell for btc? is this a winning pitch for ~50% of the gamers that fit the 18-35 age range. obviously people need to shell out btc to even begin the process on top of the fiat to get electrons
this is why they will have to have a way to get ions without actually using btc. tadaa leaderboards / tournaments etc are born and everyone not qualifying for the free ions will never take a second look unless they are crypto people to begin with. it all seems very far-fetched to me
another promotion already
well as we see its not an issue for the fake company because they can keep draining btc from their loyal followers and stay afloat. at some point you cant get blood from a stone. i was really hoping they were only pumping out xmas png and it would be a stretch to sell new years right after. blows my mind
so whats next: veterans day pngs in few days? then off to thanksgiving and because matlack is a devoutly religious person first sunday of advent
oh and notice that the png has a conditional effect. who wants to bet when the halloween png expires it has some kind of aftereffect as well? maybe those points in the picture. they wont be giving out %apr all the time. skins and other accessory crap sell well in games... but you do see them inside the game
badholders are in for a rough ride
