This post is about gamification.
Even when I first appeared on the media-blockchain someone wrote that the gameplay is inside it since everything depends on steem power and we need to pump it to get the result.
But later that became more complicated, as new "territories" or new levels are being opened, and sometime those skills that helped earlier do not work any more. At the same time, these superstructures can be created by the participants, not just the "big brother". You can use skills or gold, but there are levels that you can pass without weapon with certain skills. And at the same time, while going to a new level — having gold for a quick pumping of what is needed at this level, is also not bad.
I am sure that the conditions will change more than once here. And I'm sure that not a single project will appear here and will start grabbing the pool. And one day we will be divided into different corners of a huge and diverse decentralized network, where no one will disturb anyone :) I am sure that there will be superstructures and a connection with real life (and stores, auctions, and project crowdfundings). I'm sure that the system will survive, because the community is creative. And in my opinion, certain levels I just can not pass without programming skills. So I decided to study them.
I have a little experience - several years ago I wrote some trading robots on ATF for Transaq (maybe even they still are somewhere on the computer). I tested strategies in Excel and wrote profitable algorithms. However - the profitability of the best robot was about 20-25% per annum on the RTS index, taking into account the commission and slippage. It is small, but due to the trend of the crypt, in my opinion there will be more interesting yield.
I have identified several goals for my learning path. Goals from short-term to long-term:
The last idea occurred to me a little earlier, but yesterday I saw how it is already relevant, especially considering one of the Black Mirror series.
And I hope that my robots will work as AI since I have an interest in neural networks - it's all interesting to do with self-processing of information (because the machine does it faster) and adjusting to a changeable world.
PS Game is not just here, but also in any business, and even life. This game can last a long time, and can quickly end, but all of us should get money / knowledge or anything else while playing.
And yes, I believe that in about ten years, not being able to program will be just as failed for life, as now not speaking English (for people over 40 it's excusable, but still undesirable).
