The title of this post may sound like a bold statement but hear me out! The future of blockchain is bright as there are many applications for it. This is no exception to Splinterlands on the Steem blockchain. This is a big step for gaming. Where in the past video games require users to spend money to purchase games and add-ons but once time elapses the game becomes old and resale value of it drops dramatically. There is no way for consumers to recoup their investment in the video games.
Past Video Game Store
The way Splinterlands works is players get to purchase cards and use it to play in battles. As time passes they can resell the cards at any price. More often than not cards have higher resell value therefore players not only are playing the game for fun they are making an investment with positive capital returns. Just look at the chart below to see since the game's inception to present day total market cap. Close to $4.5 million!
Splinterlands' Market Cap
All though not all assets will always rise forever. Even Splinterlands faces challenges of its own. User adoptions or a retention system to retain players for the long haul. There are fierce competition out there for the next addictive game, but Splinterlands have some benefits in that it is able to store all its game data on a blockchain. This is allows the game to have a ledger whereby any player who plays and owns cards will forever have access to use of those cards as long as they have their user name and password.
The thought of storing value in a game while enjoying playing it is earth shattering. Long ago where parents were against their kids playing video games because they felt it was a waste of investment in money and time can no longer argue when they see Splinterlands. In Splinterlands players not only can buy and sell cards there is a way to rent out cards for passive income. Another reason splinterlands is a great investment.

Furthermore by playing the game in winning battles players receive rewards that are cards that can be exchange for crypto and in turn fiat currency. So there are multiple ways to earn currency through the use, play, or interaction in the game.
Conclusions
In Splinterlands players can buy/sell cards, rent cards, earn cards, all the while playing a game and socializing with other gamers all over the globe. There is an official discord channel. The way people play video games by purchasing physical discs or download software and losing value over time will soon be a thing of the pass when blockchain video games be its replacement. Splinterlands is leading the charge as one of the top blockchain games in the globe. It is even on stateofdapps.com ranked 4th in the most used daily dapp. More popular than steemit!
There have been recent updates to the game and now consumers can use Ethereum and other Ethereum tokens to buy and sell cards. Official link of the updates here. Splinterlands certainly has a bright future to look forward to.
