TradePlayz — The traders playground and the global crypto arcade.
There’s a real part of all of us on the TradePlayz team that are geeks and nostalgists. For myself personally, it’s old school pinball games, arcade games, cafe racers, old school gaming systems (long live Super Smash Brothers on Nintendo 64), vintage Porsches, guitars, new wave, rock’n’roll, rockabilly, doo-wop, almost 8-bit anything, “Flight of the Navigator”, “Back to the Future”, “Indiana Jones”, “Star Wars”, “Silicon Valley”(the TV show), “Peaky Blinders”, but specifically dealing with everything going on right now with the TradePlayz ICO, I think off and on a good amount about “TRON”. Kevin Flynn, the rebel with a cause, a gamer, a dreamer, a pioneer, tapping out code on a solo mission and pushing forward for new digital frontiers.
The idea of Kevin Flynn, and his character, is something I get hooked on. He’s working as hard as he’s playing and he’s chasing the possibilities because it’s just an innate part of his character in the TRON series. There’s no let up in him, and the singular driving force in his character is progress for the greater good. The one specific thing that grabs me though especially, apart from many things I love about the films is the scene with digital grid aperture, the scenes with the light cycle (wishing both were invented by now in 2018), but specifically, in this case, the scenes from the films with Flynn’s Arcade! Talk about the ultimate hang out spot!
Yes, the environment is incredible! I can’t think in some ways of a better way to kick back and blow off some steam for a few hours, than going toe to toe with some arcade games! (TRON, Spy Hunter, Asteroids, Tekken, Terminator 2 pinball, Raiders of the Lost Ark pinball and Gauntlet; to name a few). More than that though it’s the concept of the space and the business model that concerns me the most at this point while writing this article to all of you, specifically. While we’re all waiting for the reality of the gaming world and technology to catch up to “the grid”, there is an abundance of evolution all around us. We live in a fascinating and modern age, and as a result we’re constantly trying to evolve our intellects and also how our intellects have fun. It’s in our nature as humans to pursue pleasure as much as it is to seek higher levels of intelligence.
With all of the VCs, angel investors, hedge funds, capital management groups and most importantly, our users that I talk to one those two things become more and more apparent to me, but even more than that the skepticism of people in general. That doubt is as human as the pursuit of happiness and higher intelligence. It comes, in large, from the corrupt individuals, and the parasites out there, who choose to create the negatives of any environment, that every human is capable of. But, I’m not here to rag on the vultures plaguing the business / tech / crypto / ICO space right now. If you need a reference point, check my previous articles. I have no shortage of scorn for these bastards. I’m here to say something much more imperative, and reference something that comes up in every phone call, video call, email, post and response concerning TradePlayz with every individual I come in contact with practically. “Where is the value and what is so lucrative about TradePlayz and the TradePlayz ZED token?”
So let’s start with the TradePlayz tagline, “the world’s premiere, fantasy cryptotrading game”. Yea…. we’re the first to be able to fully cooperate with all of the financial legal bodies around the world. We’re 100% legal, and DAMN proud of it! The TradePlayz product / app / platform is the original. No doubt. The TradePlayz ZED token; it sources the buy-in’s to the tournaments on your Android or Apple based app for your smartphone. It’s also how you get paid for your using your brain when you win! If you look over the white paper, all of the financial’s are mapped out so everything is crystal clear. But, the next question a lot of people ask comes down to basically, “so… is that it?” It’s a legitimate question. What we have is badass, it’s really cool, it’s a cross breed of the best elements of online poker (Thanks to our CTO, Nikita), binary options with an investment education twist. When you put everything together it makes for a really exciting, rewarding and innovative experience. BUT…. is that it?!…
The answer is simple, absolutely not! We have big plans for TradePlayz! For example, if you look at Elon Musk and talked to him way back when he was still at PayPal, I doubt he would have said anything about Hyperloop or SpaceX. Also, look at Richard Branson with Virgin Records; and now the Virgin brand touches a huge array of markets. If you look at Apple, I doubt Steve Jobs would have ever told you that they would be branching into the automobile market. Those are extreme examples, but they are 100% valid in terms of product / brand evolution and the pursuit of progress! To put it succinctly, we’re not going to say no to any product development at TradePlayz, UNLESS it doesn’t evolve the brand as it exists now, or is illegal.
Now, let’s touch back to TRON, Kevin Flynn and Flynn’s Arcade and track with me a bit on this, and let’s look at the scope of an arcade and what it presents; because realistically that is the long term business model of TradePlayz at it’s core. A digital arcade. An arcade wouldn’t be much of an arcade with just one game, would it? Even if the game was really exciting and generated a huge amount of magnetism through interaction, difficulty and game play. In the future you won’t be able to just play multiple cryptocurrencies against your opponents, you’ll have a variety of ways to do it and a variety of ways to buy in with your TradePlayz ZED tokens and a variety of ways to cash out with them to besides your ZED tokens increasing in value as an Ethereum based ERC-20 utility token. Again, focus on a really big arcade, like Flynn’s; but you can cash out your tokens for other currencies!
In the last few weeks we’ve spoken with a number of veterans of the gaming industry (the details will be made public in due course) across the globe and while the feedback has been really great, what’s better is that we’ve been able to secure them working with us Post-ICO in a product and business development capacity. This is a HUGE measure in ensuring the value of the TradePlayz brand and also the TradePlayz ZED token that our users / supporters (TradePlayzers) have been purchasing during our ICO. With these advisors comes not only a vast wealth of knowledge about the gaming universe, but also how to cross-sell, cross-market and integrate TradePlayz legally with 3rd parties and and create a much greater value in all that we have created. I suppose in some ways myself, and our team, shouldn’t be surprised with the responses and the enthusiasm, but it’s incredibly exciting seeing things build and grow; watching people attach themselves to your plans, your dreams and your hard work. Reality and imagination running in tandem with our flourishing community (15,000+ Telegram members / 7,000+ active users, in less than 50 days).
I can’t strongly emphasize enough the value of what you’re buying into when you buy your TradePlayz ZED tokens. Really! Your TradePlayz ZED tokens won’t serve solely as the funds for an app with a singular game. You’re buying into a digital gaming arcade that is built to evolve and scale in great measure, and become a digital gaming world all it’s own that practically rewards it’s winners with it’s own cryptocurrency. The future looks not only incredibly bright, but a hell of a lot of fun for all of you, and all of us at TradePlayz. Together we are going to pioneer ahead into new digital frontiers. Game on, TradePlayzers! Raise the stakes!
