It's my first post from Leo Finance. I've been curious about Leo Finance for a while :)
For me, it's more fun to be on blockchain rather than earning money. Of course I'm happy when I receive some money from a blockchain such as a reward from Hive.blog.
This year, Axie Infinity was or still is a big boom of 2021 especially around the summertime. I did some research about Axie Infinity to write an article about the game and "Play to Earn" phenomena.
Actually for us old Steem/Hive users, it's not new because we have had Splintersland (Steem Monsters) since 2018. Hive+++.
What I was impressed by Axie Infinity was that the game supported the daily life of not all, but some people in the Philippines under the COVID-19 crisis. It was great.
Around summer 2021, according to the article I wrote, people could earn around $3 / day by using a scholarship program, which is above the poverty line of $1.9 / day. However, according to CoinGecko, it has now dropped to $1.0-1.5 / day.

For those who really enjoy the game it's fine but for those who want to earn money it's not fine. They must find some other places to earn money.
Then my proposal is: how about using Hive.blog? People who are not good at playing game can earn money in many different ways. Writing is the main activity here but people can choose topics freely.
I write about needlework on Mondays, and cooking, baking, gardening, crypto, books, family and so on. So Hive.blog can be a platform for X to Earn. We can put whatever in the X.
As an ordinary but long time user, I earned around 90.838 HBD and 49.517 HP equivalent to $161 in one month (29th Nov - 29th Dec) according to the statistics on PeakD. The calculation is a rough one as HP cannot be converted to money directly and immediately.
I don't have to spend a full day making a post on Hive.blog. I can enjoy writing on Hive.blog, being surrounded by crypto like minded people, and receiving some reward.
It may be better than Play to Earn for some people who are not good at playing games. Or it can be an alternative to Play to Earn games.
So why not write on Hive.blog with your favorite topic and receive some rewards? It is open to X to Earn :) You can choose X as you like!
昨日CoinGeckoで調べてみたら、今年大流行したAxie Infinityで1日に稼げる金額が1-1.5ドルになっていました。正確には「Axieというプレーに使う生き物をスカラーシッププログラムで借りて稼げる額」です。

夏に仕事で調べた時には3ドルくらいあって、まだ貧困ラインの1.9ドルより上で、コロナ禍では特にフィリピンの人の生活を助けたことに感動したのを覚えています。ただ、1ドルになると、プレーするのに使うデバイス、電気代、インターネットの費用など考えるといくら人件費が安い国でも難しいですね・・・。
となると、誰もがゲームが得意なわけではないし、書くことがベースになってしまうものの、何について書くかを選べるHive.blogっていいんじゃないかなと思うのです。
どのくらいのパフォーマンスが出せるか私の長寿だけどあんまり影響力のない普通のアカウントで調べてみました。PeakDの数字をもとに計算してみると、11月29日から12月29日までの約1ヶ月で90.838 HBD + 49.517 HP受け取りました。今日のレートでドル換算すると161ドルほど。HPはすぐに換金できるものではないので粗い計算です。
161ドルというと18500円ほどでそんなに悪くありません。先進国だと平日のお昼かおやつ代にちょっと足りないくらいといったところでしょうか。
何よりいいところはHive.blogは、書くのが好きな私にとっては楽しく使えるところで、仮想通貨プラスα（編み物とか）のおもしろい人たちとつながっていて、労働という感覚がないところです。あとゲームのように一つのトピックではなく、書くトピックを選べる X to Earn な自由さも好きです。
そんなこんなでゲームも楽しいですが、Hive.blogもどうでしょう。私のような普通の人も長々たのしくいつづけてこんな感じです。
