The scope of the potential economics of the platform is pretty wide which is where it becomes difficult for most to see. There are the few keys that have presented potential like Splinterlands and such but so much is un or under utilized.

The absolutely most important thing for the platform, (in my view) is user base/retention. Without us here using the place it is a ghost town and then a true circle-jerk.

Building a new economy is not easy and takes most societies many years to achieve a workable system.
