About 4 months ago I wrote about EOS Knights and how it looked like a potential way to mine EOS. I created an account with 20 EOS for staking so that I could use the blockchain to play the game. I then invested another 25 EOS into the game to "level up" to get my profile to a position to receive better items.
Well, 4 months later, and about 5 - 15 minutes a day of maintenance, I have 55 EOS staked in my account and my items that I am holding in the game are likely worth another 55 EOS. So, with the initial investment of 45 EOS, I am now holding 55 EOS and could 'liquify' my in-game assets for around another 55 EOS.
I plan on letting the game continue as I am at a fairly high level now and seem to be getting between 3 and 6 EOS / week at this point, which I am mostly reinvesting into the game at the moment. Once I get to the next level I will start withdrawing some more EOS.
This is a fun way to mine EOS. It will not be a rapid dash to millionaire-hood, but it is a fun way to use the blockchain and acquire a few tokens for using the blockchain in the early stages.
If I look at it from an all-time-high perspective. I have mined (in one way or another) around 65 EOS. EOS reached $22 sometime last year after the main net launch. 65 EOS currently represents around $300. But looking at its valuation potential, 65 EOS could look more like $1500 or more!
So, this is a fun and potentially lucrative game to play. The rewards look more like a bonus to me. Using the EOS blockchain in its first year is important to help get it functioning optimally is my first goal. The extra tokens are a bonus... and... the game is fun too!
