Chat w/ Azircon - The Current State Of Splinterlands & It's Relationship With Hive
In this video, I sit down for round two with @Azircon almost a year after our first conversation. Azircon's knowledge of and experience around the Hive community has been incredibly helpful to me as I've worked to build up my stake over time and create more content on the blockchain. We discuss a variety of topics including:
- The current state of Splinterlands ahead of a potential bull run
- What has gone right (and wrong) during the past year since the CEO shake up
- Large stakeholder mentality and long term vision for the project
- The Hall of Legends promo card sales events and why the cards need to be desirable
- The Splinterlands and Hive relationship around the DHF proposal
I enjoyed the conversation and hope you do as well. I look forward to the next one!

Thanks for sharing! - @azircon
I certainly enjoyed the conversation. If anyone has any questions after listening to this I will be happy to answer
Thank you for sharing. I'm going to give it a listen soon after this :)
Thanks and hope you enjoy!
I'm enjoying your conversations :) I must have been under a rock, it's my first time seeing azircon on video. 😊
Holy, i didn't expect a 1h+ long video. I will have to listen to it while driving haha
I read Azircons post about hive and sps stake holders which was actually surprising a bit but when I think about it many of our players just simply cant accumulate that much hive as they need that money to live and even say holding onto 500 hive would be a lot for them to do.
On the other hand they can likely do it as well if they are disciplined and maybe instead go out one less time a month and put that money into staked hp or in hbd if you don't want to wait for the cool down. I think HBD actually may be a good investment as last i looked it was under peg at .95 so the 15% may end up being much more like the 20% if it reverts to peg in times when hive is rising like now hive has started to creep up from its lows which i wish i added at .14 lol i just did not catch it my attention has been more on some airdrops lately. I received a decent amount of ZRO, ZK and some others i was not expecting but it was a nice bonus in the thousands of dollars for lp provisions i had as well as other activity on the networks when they came out so i guess that was a delayed reward.
Now the current airdrop I'm waiting on is the gravitas drop which im farming a few others at the same time with that capital like lxp-l, ether.fi, arb drops, other airdrops like zero lend, radient ongoing all with the same capital so its like stacking the bonuses and increasing the chances you get a good drop on one of them that is worth something like layer zeros drop which has done well for me and ZK which has takin a hit but i believe is undervalued right now so im just holding the half i didn't sell and once staking comes out which is soon will just stake it and use the earnings to put into lps and farm cake on pancake swap. I
Then we have the Aqualis airdrop coming up which you can get if you join there telegram and just verify your a person then u can use a referral link that links any one who joins to your profile and the drop should be pretty good as i participated in the pre seed round on hive and the amounts there dropping for the number one spot is more than I have and i think i have 4% of the tokens as they are now but that will change on TGE as the rewards start but the platform will be pretty cool you will be able to borrow against money you have on the platform collecting swap fees up to 80% and still get the fees even though your borrowing against it. My idea for lps for spl was to do that with similar platforms that claim to be able to do something like that with v3 pools but haven't found one that works well yet that i can figure out lol. As you probably know they are heavily involved with Splinterlands as well and have guild, store etc along with there flagship DEX that will be launching soon.
If you want to check out Aqualis my link is here to give me airdrop credit if not no big deal lol but figure i have to throw it out there in case might as well get the referral toward the drop since it will be significant and not many people are on the board last i herd and im in the top 4 with like no referrals. So maybe you would be able to get a allocation to if you just even got one lol. Another interesting play is probably somewhat insider information but im invested in HMX and I recently invested in FLEX perps and in the pitch deck i confirmed also with both teams that HMX stakers will get a airdrop or rev share of FDX tokens which has not been announced yet other than in the pitch deck so that might be even a interesting trade as HMX prices are way down right now and as surprise like that could send them rocking as most people likely do not know about it yet. Once it is annouced then i would expect like a 2-3x on HMX units which would be a good sell opp into strength. I get way to into my airdrops lol its just fun for me to see how much i can get from the same dollar lol.

I do also like your shows they help me stay up to date on my investment in splinterlands stock as well as the assets in spl i own like sps etc since i own both a piece of the company pie and most of the asset types lol. Helps summarize things and make me think about some things i have not previously thought about.
It's already difficult enough spending money in Splinterlands to keep up so I can understand the hesitation with Hive. That said, there are other ways to earn Hive through interacting with the blogging side of things (posting, commenting, curating). Since we are staying on Hive for the foreseeable future it's probably worth getting more involved with other aspects of the blockchain.
I really enjoyed the conversation between the 2 of you. It should of course be a great show, after all both of you are titans of our community! Thanks for the insights and content guys :)
Thanks Dave! Glad to see you popping in more, I know the negativity of community sentiment has weighed on you.
How do I listen to the interview?
Click on the video
Thank you.
I am sorry, I viewed this article on leofinance and the video doesn't show up in the article.
But now that I am viewing it on Hive, I am embarrassed because it's clearly here on Hive.
Leofinance / Inleo loaded several updates recently and I have had difficulty with videos not showing up in my posts, especially YouTube videos.
They just show as a blank space.
This is the post looks like on the Inleo page, as you can see, the huge picture of your YouTube Video is completely missing.
I left a comment tagged #feedback for @khaleelkazi with screen shots of what it looks like on Inleo and what it looks like on Hive.
The YouTube Videos are showing up.
Yeah clearly that front end is not working.
Here is the link
Thank you.
It's available on YouTube and you can listen on the embedded player in the post.

I didn't realize that - thanks for letting me know!
Your welcome.
I also placed a feedback thread with @khaleelkazi but no response yet.
He was at HiveFEst so I think he will catch up when he comes back.
Did you make it to HiveFest?
Unfortunately not this year, but I'd really like to attend the next one!
I truly regret not attending the one in Mexico, it was only 6-7 hours away.
This one ws tru;y to far.

Nice interview. Great YT content makes me also aware again to be more active on Hive.
Most of my posts (all) are also about splinterlands 🤣
Great chat between you 2. Interesting to hear Azircons views and how he's positioning himself.
Interesting conversation going on here. I am at the 10 minute mark and see that it's an hour long video. LOL. Will have to re-watch this later... 😎
Lol yeah we got into quite a bit. Thanks for tuning in!
Welcome. 🎸
I really enjoyed the conversation and @airzcon's insights on Splinterlands. Plus I never used Bee-Swap, only Hive-Enine and TribalDex, so I will start using it to save money.
Do you or @airzcon know where the pool yields are posted on BeeSwap?
I am growing my Dec also, from rentals and it would be great to put it in the pools.
If you go into the pools tab you will find yields all the way on the right if they pay out rewards.
Thanks I will check it out.
I put a feedback ticket on your post on inleo.
I took screen shots to make it easy for @khal to see the problem, your embedded video doesn't show up at all. But on Hive and Peakd it is huge.

After watching this video, not only did you both provide me with various tips about Hive, but I also reconsidered my Hive holdings and decided to buy more. Their insights on the symbiotic relationship between Splinterlands and Hive, which I was already aware of, were further reinforced by this and Matt’s presentation at Hive Fest. It really opened my eyes.
Initially, I got into Hive because of Splinterlands, but since then, I’ve played other games on Hive, traded various assets, and wished I had spent more time learning about the blockchain. I believe the biggest hurdle for onboarding new users is having a clear and easy-to-understand explanation of Hive Power, staking Hive, and the amount of Hive required for different activities.
