Get Ready for a step-by-step instruction of the most overpowered strategy in blockchain gaming.
In this post I am going to share the strategy of gameplay in dCITY known as Citizen Farming, to dive into the potential for new players to join this game and make money.
If you are new to dCITY, Hive's premier City Simulator has been running profitably since before the steemit/hive fork with its own SIM token airdrop.
Complete with its own marketplace and token economy utilizing NFTs with various attributes and rewards that are bought/sold, held, combined and optimized for strategic placement on the ranked leaderboard.
Why play dCITY?
There are many reasons you may be interested in dCITY which could include access to blockchain governance, NFT asset ownership, "the game" and let's not forget rewards.
Many of the rewards being reported are automatically payed out daily and you only need to spend a few cents to truly test this on your own account.
In short, this game can be profitable if you play it well.
Simply owning a card that pays 1 Tax Refund with at least 1 Income will qualify you for a payout which will verify the passive automated daily payments in this game.
You can achieve this with the Economist.
If you are lucky, you can get one for less than 1100 SIM right now.
1100 SIM = .20 HIVE = .06 HBD

By now you can claim an entire page of the Young Citizen marketplace sales with 10 Young Citizens up for grabs.
While this isn't the only way to play the game let's just look at the accumulation of rewards from this strategy.
10 Young Citizens x 760 SIM = 7600 SIM at bid price + 611 SIM holdings = 8200 SIM in 14 days qualifying for SIM Power payout.
An average SIM Holdings over 30 days is called SIM Power, and it pays a passive income of 40% APR in HIVE daily right now.
784 SIM per day makes the 11k SIM cost in just one more day IF you sell the additional 2 Young Citizens with the next day's claim and you can still maintain ranking if the top 400 leaderboard floor is still at 10 SIM.
Using this Citizen Farming strategy, you can ROI in 15 days and begin your climb up the ranked leaderboard.
You can also receive one Young Citizen for every delegation of 500 HP to dcity for automated passive citizen farming.
I couldn't emulate the in-game disasters that occur so if you run into any delays just add an additional day to your strategy and don't let the disasters get you down.
