Welcome to the Liotes News. Well, we don't have new stuff happening every week, so today I would like to present you a feature that we have implemented quite some time ago. I would like to show you how every post that we create with the @liotes account is actually burning LEN tokens...
Some apps and games are currently doing very well on the HIVE blockchain and that's showing directly in the value of the base token (HIVE)... It is over 50c for over a month and we remember the time when it was around only 10c... Diesel pools are doing great, CUBDeFi is growing every day and expanding, and gaming is the hot topic these days with Splinterlands pushing the limits up and up... Rising Star has doubled the number of players in the last month too, so it's not just one game...
Still, while I (@ph1102) was checking some content and comments on Hive, I have found some opinions with a completely different view... It has surprised me to see that from people on "this side of the crypto" and I have tried to understand it... Long story short, the comment was about the fact that gaming on the blockchain isn't that fun as it should be... Also, the point was that 90% of the games have a similar structure and more-less similar "gameplay"...
To be honest, I do agree on a certain level with those arguments... Yes, you can earn crypto by playing these games, and they can be fun (if you like that type of game), but we still need some diversity in gaming genres to attract more players OUTSIDE the crypto... All that is some valid point, but...
We are still in a VERY EARLY stage of blockchain gaming a lot of people can't see the BIG picture here... Even developers of games can't see all the potential that can be built on! And that's normal to see... We didn't have an idea about Defi just 2-3 years ago, about blockchain games 4-5 years, and about blockchain in general 10 years ago... I don't want to remind you that blockchain and crypto have been listed as the worst things for all these 10 years, as everyone wanted to kill it...
So, we have to have in mind that what we currently see in blockchain gaming is just a tip of an iceberg and we have another 99% to discover in the future... Have patience, give it a chance, and earn some crypto on the way there!

After the problems that we have encountered with our [online shop](https://liotes.com/index.php/shop/), we had to take it offline for a couple of days. I try to explain the reasons in the video.
As a temporary solution, we have changed the currency in the shop to Hive. You can now purchase products or make rentals using Hive. What is important is that the shop will take from your Hive balance not your hive-engine balance. Make sure that you have enough Hive before you make a purchase.
## Thanks for your patience
I have had some very busy days in my offline business. I had to repare a lot of things and didn't find the time to make posts for Liotes. With Zoltan being on holidays, we can't be active with Liotes as much as we would like. Sorry for that and thanks for your patience. We will try to make a Liotes Mission next Wednesday.
I once had this idea to try to earn money online. This is about 10 years ago and this idea never left me. In this video, I share my journey with you. This journey brought me first to crytpo and later to Hive...

To change our minds from the difficult situation we have decided to play a bit with the markets instead of lamenting how they develop. Let's guess the BTC price in a week!
## The challenge of this week
Today we we have a very easy question for you: where will the price of BTC in USD be when we do the next Liotes Mission one week from now?
**In addition to the normal rewards for taking part in the challenge, the person who will get closest to the price of BTC will get 20 LEN bonus**
Write your answer as a comment below this post on HIVE and original thread here https://peakd.com/@liotes/dmwqerly to take part in the Liotes Mission.

It's Monday again and it's time for the Liotes news. Today we want to share with you a little anecdote of an idea we had this week. We have a lot of ideas but not all of them are really worth developing :-). This was one of them...
This week the project developed at it's average speed. In the liotes ranking we see that @pixiepost is getting closer and closer to becoming the first Sirocco Bender. By the way, @pixiepost has now her own NFT in the Rising Star game! How great is that?
@darmst5339 is closest to becoming the next wind maker. He only needs 15.3 points to get there!

It's March 31st 2021 and according to our whitepaper we are starting to burn LEN tokens today. However we have been running the burn mechanisms for a long time already.
**In the video I try to explain how these mechanisms work and how they should little by little reduce the LEN supply.**
## Liotes Mission
It's time for a new Liotes Mission. We try to make one mission per week. By taking part in the Liotes missions, you can actually win credits that will help you to increase your score and your title in the [Liotes ranking](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vT15H8Ix01KrjfmHfMIkCfYKvVlavUhH3ydg8zTlVKSP2_E_z2s4DH7czR3PdX_qBmd2e-Os13AH7UD/pubhtml?gid=0&single=true).
With @ph1102, we plan to make regular brainstorming videos where we talk about certain aspects of the project, of the crypto world and life in general. In this context we would like to ask for your help.
## Today's challenge
Give us up to 3 topics or questions that we could discuss in these videos. For each topic or question you will get 1 credit (maximum 3 credits). Among all the suggestions, we will select a certain number that we will use in the videos. If one or more of your suggestions is chosen, you will get 5 bonus points.
We are very grateful if you enter the challenge within 24 hours after the post is published. However we will also count the entries that come in up to 36 hours after publication.

The HIVE blockchain is our home and our base, but that doesn't mean that we can't explore things that are outside it... Actually, if we didn't explore outside our planet, we would never find Liotes :) So, we have decided to explore other blockchains where we can create other income sources and create additional value to the project base...
As many of you guys already noticed, some kind of "natural" way of expanding this project is to go into the world of NFTs... Personally, I (ph1102) have "avoided" the NFT world for quite a time as I was thinking in the wrong way... I was thinking it's something that is a perfect thing for artists, designers, etc., and not for an "ordinary" guy like me... To be honest, I think that Achim had a similar view to this thing before, but some great possibilities are opening in that world...
A lot of Hivians (including myself) are playing Splinterlands, or Rising Star and those games have cards that are NFTs! Those cards give you some bonuses in the game and help you along the way... Or to make things easier to understand, they have a USE-CASE! And those are the magic words that we like to hear...
So, we are starting our exploration of the NFT world, and the first stop is the WAX blockchain, which is considered as a "home of NFTs"... I have mentioned a couple of websites inside the video, so here are the links to them...
> Coingecko WAX page https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/wax
> WAX Cloud Wallet address: https://wallet.wax.io/
> Official website: https://wax.io
> Alien Worlds game: https://alienworlds.io/
Also, check out a very useful article about WAX in more details written by our Liotes supporter @jfang003 https://leofinance.io/hive-167922/@jfang003/wax-block-chain-overview
Happy exploring!
