You may have heard the story. Back in 2006, a guy traded one red paperclip all the way up for a house. In total, it took 14 trades.
For a long time I wanted to try something similar here on hive but never really bothered with. Well, that changes today as I finally start my own version. A fully digital on-chain version. It will probably go nowhere but I bet that's what the red paper click thought as well 😂
So, I'm starting with 1 HBD, and my goal is to trade it all the way up to 1,000,000 Hive Power, one trade at a time, using nothing but crypto, NFTs, in-game assets etc.
Every single trade will be public, verifiable, and documented here on hive.
The Rules
- Starting point: 1 HBD. Nothing else.
- Crypto only: Every trade must be crypto, NFTs, tokens, in-game assets etc. All chains allowed
- One post per trade: Every trade gets its own post with transaction links so anyone can verify it.
- No outside money: I won't add funds from my own wallet or buy my way up.
- Post rewards go into the pot: This is something I couldn't decide on at first. Adding post rewards on the pot will make things less fun. But they may go a long way at the first phases. So I decided to have them stay as well.
- The finish line: 1,000,000 HP in my account.
- Donations: I don't want people to donate me free stuff or hp or whatever to build my way up since it will make things less challenging and fun. But hey! I can't force you to not donate.
