            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Degen Deathmatch Society is created as an answer to certain voids we as a team have found within the NFT space, Play2Earn games and the crypto world overall. This project will have many interesting layers, ranging from sheer profit making to the complexity of human interactions within imperfect markets.</p><p>In the center of it will be a beautiful, engaging, and complex fast turn-based 1 vs 1 tactical RPG with a grid combat system that will be developed by rebel rabbit.</p><p>rebel rabbit is a game development studio with over 5 years of experience, with games released on Steam and Nintendo Switch.</p><p>From their very beginning the studio put a lot of effort into building high quality games with hardcore mechanics and gorgeous pixel art. We can see their reel next:</p><p>Looking for new opportunities, the studio has worked alongside companies from USA, China, Switzerland, and Venezuela, and it’s now expanding into the NFT Play2Earn ecosystem.</p><p>Thanks to the experience garnered throughout these years, the studio has been proudly featured in:</p><p>Awards:</p><ul><li><p>2017 PGX — Selected game — 64.0</p></li><li><p>* 2017 PGX — Finalist — Duel on Board</p></li><li><p>* 2017 Big Festival — Best Latin American Game Nominee” — 64.0</p></li><li><p>* 2019 Awesome Game Awards’ — Oficial selection — Duel on Board</p></li><li><p>* 2021 Big Festival — Best Latin American Game Nominee” — Duel on Board</p></li><li><p>Besides these recognitions, rebel rabbit has been invited to:</p></li><li><p>* 2016–2017–2019 — MasGamers Festival</p></li><li><p>* 2017–2019 — Lima Chamber of Commerce</p></li><li><p>* 2021 — devcom</p></li><li><p>Degen Deathmatch Development</p></li><li><p>rebel rabbit is currently in development of Degen Deathmatch Society. We are striving to create a game that will be able to stand alone on its own, something that will be beautiful and fun to play. This is not about developing something fast; this is about creating something amazing.</p></li><li><p>One of the main aspects of Degen Deathmatch Society is that every NFT in the collection will be playable. At the moment part of the team is working in the pixel art and animation for the 10,000 pieces of the collection. We don’t know yet if we will airdrop these animated NFTs just yet but it is something we are thinking about.</p></li><li><p>At the same time, the different stage art is being drawn, including the main tournament arena which we can see in progress below.</p></li><li><p>As in every RPG, there will be a variety of armor, skills, weapons, and attacks within the game. As we speak all of these are being created, sketched, and animated in order to be programmed into the game later on.</p></li><li><p>Finally, all the in-game mechanics are being created. Rebel rabbit is known for making complex games that are not “the easiest”. They are really excited about creating something that will challenge people and force them to play for hours in order to advance.</p></li><li><p>First playable prototype will be up by June of this year and the team is expecting the first Degen Deathmatch Tournament to be held by July 2022.</p></li><li><p>This project will disrupt P2E Games and NFTs forever.</p></li><li><br></li></ul>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are all so curious to know if the concept of a parallel universe is real. Aren’t we? We read different theories; we watch youtube videos to know more and more about it. However, many of us have ignored an alternate financial universe that came into existence in the early 2000s.</p><p>Yes, I am talking about Bitcoin, the first-ever successful cryptocurrency created in January 2009 by a mysterious developer Satoshi Nakamoto.</p><p>Although previous attempts to establish a virtual currency network was made, they were not fully developed. B-Money and Bit Gold are two examples of such unfinished digital currency attempts.</p><p>Before deciding whether cryptocurrency is going to rule the world in future or not, let’s know about this digital asset in detail.</p><p>Cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual currency that is secured with cryptography. In simple terms, it is a currency in digital form which we cannot touch or feel but can have possession of. The most important thing is, it is encrypted with codes so that only the person to whom it belongs can process the information.</p><p>Most of the cryptocurrency are decentralised networks based on Blockchain Technology, also known as the Distributed Ledger Technology. Now, let’s break this technical jargon into simpler terms to understand better.</p><p>Firstly, what do we mean by a Ledger? A Ledger is a book belonging to a person or a business entity in which account transactions are recorded as debits and credits. Similarly, all the virtual transactions related to cryptocurrency are recorded electronically in a distributed ledger or a blockchain, spread across different locations in the world.</p><p>So, blockchain is nothing but a type of database where we store information related to cryptocurrency transactions. The only difference between a blockchain and a traditional database is the way data are structured. In a database, the data is stored in a table format in a centralised manner, whereas in a blockchain, the data is stored in groups or blocks decentralised and distributed across the globe.</p><p>Each block has a certain storage capacity and so can store a limited amount of data. Once the storage is full, the next set of information is stored in a new block. All the blocks with data are chained together with the previous blocks, creating a chain of data known as the “blockchain”.</p><p>Now comes the safety part. All the data is available electronically, which means anyone can have access, so is it safe? As the name “Crypto” suggests, all the entries are encrypted using various cryptography techniques such as hash functions, symmetric and asymmetric key cryptography, making it difficult for anyone to crack it.</p><p>Let’s know in detail about the main characteristics of Cryptocurrency:</p><p>As said before, the data or information related to every transaction is shared with multiple anonymous computers located in different locations. These computers communicate with each other through a common network. The advantage of a distributed network is that even if one system fails, we can retrieve the data from the other systems in the network, which means the chances of data loss is zero.</p><p>Cryptocurrency, or Bitcoin, to be precise, is the first decentralised payment network that is fully controlled and managed by the users without any central authority or middlemen. Now that means no hidden banking charges, no minimum account balance to maintain, no interference from the government.</p><p>The transactions made by cryptocurrency are irreversible and immutable. The only way to reverse the currency is by requesting the receiver to send it back. Therefore, you need to be extra careful before making any transactions.</p><p>All the transactions made through cryptocurrency are discreet. Unless the users voluntarily publish, the transactions are not associated with any person. Also, the billing address that is generated changes after each transaction.</p><p>The price of cryptocurrency are highly volatile as compared to any other financial products. The reason behind the volatility is the small size of the market, where even a small player can make a huge impact on the price. Another reason being the limited supply of few cryptocurrencies.</p><p>The supply of Bitcoin is limited to 21 million, which means no more than that can ever be mined or circulated. The limited supply makes Bitcoin deflationary. However, not all cryptocurrency has limited supply, Ethereum has a constant supply in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, making it inflationary.</p><p>Most cryptocurrencies are purely digital and are not backed by any physical assets. Therefore, the price of the currencies are not based on any underlying assets. Neither does it have the government decide its value, which means the price depends on how many people want to buy it and how much supply is available.</p><p>Let’s see the two most important use of cryptocurrency in real-time. Keep reading to know more.</p><p>As said before, the price of cryptocurrency is highly volatile, making it a medium to earn high returns. But as we all know, high volatility comes with high risks, so doing proper research before investing is necessary.</p><p>Making payment through cryptocurrency is easy and fast and can be received without any merchant account. Also, the transaction charges are relatively less than bank transactions.</p><p>However, cryptocurrency payments have its demerits such as it comes with no legal protections. Debit and credit cards come with legal protections, so in case of any dispute, the credit card company can help you out in getting back your money. Also, not to forget, the transactions are irreversible.</p><p>Following are the key differences between cryptocurrency and a traditional currency system (here, US Dollars).</p><p>Now that we are aware of the basics of cryptocurrency, let’s answer the question, “Is cryptocurrency really the future?” I would say it is still a distant thought as the idea is still unknown to many. Also, it involves a lot of risk and scams, which makes it an uncertain asset to hold. Also some of its major properties ( eg. completely untraceable transactions, globally distributed nature etc. ) are against it becoming a full fledged currency system in a country.</p><p>Bitcoin can be used anonymously to conduct transactions between any account holders, anywhere and anytime across the globe, which makes it attractive to criminals and terror organisations. They may use Bitcoin to buy or sell illegal goods like drugs or weapons. Most countries have not clearly determined the legality of Bitcoin, preferring instead to take a wait-and-see approach. Some countries have indirectly assented to the legal use of Bitcoin by enacting some regulatory oversight. However, Bitcoin is never legally acceptable as a substitute for a country’s legal tender. — Investopedia</p><p>With that thought, let me answer some common queries that you might have.</p><p>Yes, you can cash out your cryptocurrency. All you need is to create a wallet to receive your cryptocurrency. Then sell it out and withdraw the cash into your bank account.</p><p>Some of the cryptocurrency with limited supply are:</p><p>Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile, and if the price falls below a certain level, you lose your investment amount.</p><p>Some of the best crypto wallets are:</p><p>Yes, cryptocurrency has transaction fees. There are three transaction fees involved in crypto, i.e. exchange fees, network fees and wallet fees.</p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My god the amount of froth and FUD around Web 3 these days! Literally, as I typed this up two of the largest CT voices posted mic drop excellent pieces — Bankless and Li Jin (supporting the froth) and Packy McCormick (addressing the fud). Please understand that, while it looks like I am piling on, I started writing this before those came out.</p><p>Alas, I’ve made some edits. I’ve “punched it up” a little. The goal of my piece was always to discuss how ownership is a dial for development. Now for your added entertainment, I am also going to shine a light on the massive impact of Web 3 through unrelated analogies and hyperbolic ideas like Web 3 will curb wealth inequality, reshape the entire economy, and limit the negative global impact of big business. Ladies and gentlemen, zenith-froth!</p><p>We are seeing only the first glimpses of Web 3 and already this fuzzy image is engendering extreme froth to fud zeitgeist-pendulum swings. Not only do we still have to build and experience Web 3, but we actually have to build many of the underlying elements that will enable it, like mass adopted zero-knowledge proof technology, next-generation crypto wallets, new social behaviors, and reasonable regulation to pluck a few examples. And this is ok. It would have been an incredible leap to predict the creation of influencer marketing in the early days of Friendster. But the onslaught of social media douchebags/thought-leaders let us know something big was coming now that the web had become read AND write.</p><p>Web 3 is about ownership. The web is now read, write, and own. This ownership is made possible by blockchain technology. And this piece of technology is working. This genie is out of the bottle.</p><p>Now, for a rambling analogy. This is an idea I came to on my own a long time ago and it has stuck with me. No doubt it had already been thought of by someone else, and possibly it has even been debunked but I’m confident it serves its purpose here. Socialism seems to be a wonderful thing — everybody works the best they can to create a system that will take care of everyone. So why is socialism worse than capitalism? Let me suggest that in socialism since the system pushes against the ability to generate wealth, there is only one check and balance — who you know. Now, if you had the right connections, you would know which breadline to stand in for the fresher bread. Capitalism on the other hand, while far from perfect, has two checks and balances — who you know AND how much money you have. Having two dials to twist, people can better express themselves, and society functions better. Two dials are better than one.</p><p>Ownership is a new dial for the web. A third dial that makes the web read, write, and now own. In time, as we come to understand how to use this third dial when building products, partnerships, organizations, businesses, communities, careers, etc. we will build better ones.</p><p>If we’re going mega-froth here, we do need to address the peak FUD. That infamous @jack tweet.</p><p>Even if the antiquated and possibly unconstitutional accredited investor rules in the US didn’t exist, of course, the money is flooding into Web 3. What Jack misses is that Web 3 will evolve who owns the web because it will evolve how the web is owned. That’s not to say VCs and their LPs aren’t going to make bank, just that they will be making returns ushering in protocols and dApps that will then distribute their very ownership.</p><p>The other types of projects, the supposed antithesis of VC-backed Web 3 projects are projects with fair token launches. Both types of projects find themselves in the crucible of Web 3 amidst ideas like dilutive ownership. This is just one example, but dilutive ownership articulated by Mark Beylin on the podcast On The Other Side suggests that, over time, the founder and investor shares of revenue should be diluted. This takes exit to community and buidl with community to its inevitable conclusion. It hints that a world of governance hacking and vampire attacks will not abide persistent owners of owners.</p><p>And this is happening. Just recently, the current darling of the VC community — Open Sea just received its first bite. Before that the embattled Pudgy Penguins community parted ways with the founding team, and just before that Block One was forked out of EOS. I think we can expect this to continue. Even accelerate as community management becomes more sophisticated and work on governance mechanisms like quadratic voting and better DAO tooling further tilts the playing field toward decentralization.</p><p>Remember how capitalism worked better than socialism because two dials are better than one? In the 1950s, well before the movie Working Girl, neighbourhoods were filled with single-income households. I’m from a middle-class Canadian household. It scares me to my bones the way the economy quietly shifted to require two-income households. To live the same life, twice as many people need to work?!? While it is better both men and women are forced to work than for the world to continue to ignore the output and genius of 50% of humanity — we already missed out on the female version of Mozart! But our relentless desire to keep up with the Joneses bids up prices. This is all further exacerbated by a system that increases income inequality each day. So even as society grows GDP, most are working harder for fewer returns because gains are increasingly captured by the wealthiest asset owners. Distributing ownership begins to change that calculus.</p><p>The other gain we might expect from enabling ownership is that with ownership, people will have more control over their schedules. When people control their schedules it’s easy to imagine many of them will be tempted to step off the hamster wheel. If the Joneses are flexing their free time, and we can expect people to continue to want to “keep up with these Joneses”, we can expect people to opt for more and more free time. In this environment we will discover the economy quietly shift in the other direction, to not require as much income for each household. We might discover society functions just fine on a four-day six-hour workday. Just as the economy shifted to require two-income households, with this third dial, it will shift one more time to function with two income earners who own their work. And through the control that ownership brings, own more of their time.</p><p>To recap, the kernel of Web 3 is an ownership dial available to all (cough accredited investor rules cough). The super-froth I whipped up was that Web 3 will curb wealth inequality because ownership will become increasingly decentralized. And Web 3 will reshape the entire economy because ownership will give people more control over their time which will lead to people collectively working less which will surprisingly lead to the economy requiring less work. And Web 3 will limit the negative global impact of big business. Well, I didn’t get to that one. It is addressed in the Cambrian Protocol litepaper.</p><p>I hope you can tell I am being a little flippant with the froth. Nobody can tell you how this will play out. Can we ever get to a place where community-owned DAOs interconnected with community-created smart contracts (see Cambrian Protocol) using community-owned protocols can outcompete centralized organizations? Will some of Web 3’s ownership be sprinkled in with some of Web 2’s centralized products like constellations in an eternal embrace? If you are an optimist like me, you’re excited. It’s why I am working in the space.</p><p>Here is the last loosely related poorly researched analogy. A colossal, missed opportunity of the vaccine rollout was the handling of mRNA science. I’d like to suggest part of the science behind the COVID-19 vaccines, mRNA science stands on as big a breakthrough as the discovery of the atom or the theory of general relativity. When generation X went to school the belief was that around 99% of the DNA in our cells was vestigial unused DNA from further up the tree of life. Junk. It turns out, that was wrong. It turns out most of that DNA isn’t junk at all. It is required for the coding of mRNA and other regulatory systems. It turns out unlocking the science of mRNA was something like discovering the gas pedal and the steering wheel of our cells. Just a massive breakthrough. I’d like to put forward that making a bigger deal out of the breakthrough might have helped more people believe in the vaccine.</p><p>What I am getting at here is that the promise of Web 3 is a further unlocking of the gas pedal and steering wheel of human organization by adding an ownership dial to the dashboard. And what I am getting at here is that we are better served ignoring the Web 3 FUD and embracing the Web 3 froth.</p><p>So, bang the drum and shout about it from the hilltops people.</p><p>At the time of Marc Andreessen’s famous “software is eating the economy” op-ed the economy and software were two different things. What was meant then was that all businesses were becoming software companies first because software could be used to better conduct business as usual. Blockchain technology is currently eating software and that’s powerful. What is absolutely jaw-dropping is that value is becoming digitized. In time, every major transaction and most minor transactions will occur on-chain. Web 3 will be an internet of value. Business will move on-chain. In a way, software will be the economy.</p><p>Cambrian Protocol is building a community specifically focused on combining smart contracts with broader Web 3 infrastructure to help business move on-chain. Why use a dead paper contract when you can use a living digital smart contract? Not enough? Imagine what these contracts will become once connected to NFTs, DeFi, the internet of things, AI, location/mobile/social, machine learning at scale, etc. Please drop by if you’re interested.</p>]]></content:encoded>
