Like any NFT project, Metablox is about owning scarce virtual assets (Core Drive 4: Ownership and Core Drive 6: Scarcity). However, without a central purpose or meaning (besides “This looks so rad!!” or “it’s a fun game!”) it doesn’t have lasting value. Games could get old and styles could go out of fashion.
However, our best Memories are forever, and in fact, become more valuable as time goes by. This is shown in actual landmarks, historical sites, museums, and even year books.
Think about how some families spend thousands each year taking family photos – they want to capture a meaningful moment for generations to come.
This is why when we surveyed our Metablox Community on Discord, we can see that only 21.8% of Metablox Neighbors joined because they are fans of my work. 5.5% joined because of Podcasts such as Raoul Pal’s interview with me (with a generous title of “Godfather of Gamification”).
A whopping 52.7% came in due to referrals from others in the community.
So why do people refer their friends? It’s because they resonate with the concept. Interestingly, instead of young hipsters craving new tech, our age group demographic are largely 30 and above – those that have families and care about preserving important memories (as well as valuable assets) to their children.
