Dear @futuremind

Any idea how many users are active on GU?

Being that there are no fees for transacting, I could see Steem becoming a favorite for crypto gaming in the future.

There are no fees for transactions ... that would suggest that transactions are free.

But that's a lie. We just aren't charged directly. Cost is very well hidden in inflation. All nodes and entire streem infracture to function require funds. Real funds. Servers cost money - fiat currency.

And to cover all those costs - witnesses are being rewarded in STEEM. Am I wrong?

In layman's terms, the way I understand NFT's, they are basically a token with a "unique identifier"
That's also how I understand that and Im wondering how useful this feature will be. Part of me thought that even every bitcoin has unique ID. I guess Im wrong here.

Thanks again for solid read,
Yours, Piotr

Greetings Piotr,

Thank you for your thoughts.

I don't know if this is accurate, but this is what dappradar reflects for active users.

My goodness Piotr, I hope you aren't calling me a liar.. In terms of user end costs, there are none for transactions no? (unless RC's are to be considered a cost, for a low stake, it's quite a cost) Of course you are correct about there still being a cost for nodes, but I'm not sure it's relevant for someone who's just playing a game on the Steem blockchain. Relevant for a post on Steem economics? Likely yes.

Part of me thought that even every bitcoin has unique ID. I guess Im wrong here.

I don't think you're wrong. It's a different kind of identifier. Every bitcoin should have its identifier for block creation and transaction history, but an NFT is a different kind of identifier, in which the tokens are not the same. A bitcoin is a bitcoin, but cryptokitties has different characteristics to the identifier. (It's very possible I'm not correct about this, it's just my non-technical interpretation based on my research. I'm not a programmer, so the intricate details I do not know.)

Thank you so much for your thought provoking comment.

Sincerely,
Jake
