Ten years from now we will be in the position of "do anything to earn" thanks to blockchain. Although I haven't tried splinterlands I clearly see it as a good marketing way for Hive. Hopefully we will have more such as examples. Nevertheless, Hive is maturing and becoming an "Ethereum killer" and that's something not many are talking about.

**Detailed Article:**
The speaker opens by introducing the topic of Splinter Lands and its interaction with the Hive blockchain. Splinter Lands has undergone an airdrop or is in the process of conducting one to distribute its new governance token, a move that signifies a significant milestone for the game. The video delves into the impact of blockchain gaming on Splinter Lands, leading to a substantial increase in transaction volume. A report cited in the transcript reveals that Splinter Lands processed over 2 million transactions in a single day, elevating Hive's standing on Blocktivity to number 7.

The video emphasizes the scalability of the Hive blockchain, contrasting it with other blockchains struggling to handle high transaction volumes. The speaker applauds the Hive blockchain's ability to scale efficiently and affordably, attributing this to the development team's optimization efforts since the hard fork from Steam in March. The scalability of the blockchain is crucial in accommodating the growing user base and transaction throughput.

Furthermore, the video discusses how Splinter Lands' success is driving sign-ups on Hive, evidenced by a significant increase in new accounts following Splinter Lands' recent activities. The speaker attributes this surge in sign-ups to the game's popularity, coupled with effective marketing strategies that target gaming enthusiasts and potential players. He highlights the concept of "play to earn," which Splinter Lands and other blockchain games utilize to incentivize user engagement and participation.

The Splinter Lands ecosystem is portrayed as multifaceted, comprising gaming elements, liquidity pools, various tokens, NFTs, investors, and players. The game's play-to-earn model, where players can earn rewards by engaging with the platform, is underscored as a driving factor for user retention and community growth. The importance of community building, marketing, and targeting the right audience within the gaming sector is discussed as critical for project success.

In conclusion, the video underscores how Splinter Lands' achievements benefit the broader Hive ecosystem, driving traffic, increasing user engagement, and indirectly promoting other Hive-based projects. The speaker expresses optimism for Splinter Lands' continued success and its positive ramifications for the entire blockchain gaming industry and the Hive community.

Whereas I never actually got into *playing* the game, I loved the whole idea from the start, and saw its potential as a digital version of MTG, which even now has *35 million* players, 28 years after its start. 

It's *definitely* good for Hive... and — at least in an *indirect* way — remains the only way you can directly buy into Hive with a debit or credit card, or PayPal. 

The cool thing about it is that its distribution is primary *gaming,* rather than — pardon the expression — *"blockchain geekery."* And *that* is what it takes to get Hive on the map.

Splinterlands is definitely helping Hive. Besides the split story, I don't remember anything else creating such interest for Hive, even indirectly. But I'm sure some serious people will be looking at Hive too, the more scalable Splinterlands turns out to be.

It seems to be growing but the price of things are exploding due to the demand. I remember seeing something similar related to Alien World tools when it exploded on WAX. There just isn't enough cards for the people to buy.

I started playing Splinterlands on 2018.12.30. Nowadays I play it mostly on my smartphone (currently a Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite). Their Android mobile app is quite good. I gladly recommend it. You can play it anywhere on the go (where there is either mobile internet access, or Wi-Fi internet access).
