Steem Monsters Is Actually A Hidden Crypto Airdrop!
I bet you didn't see that coming. But its true! With the long-awaited fighting platform now effectively launched, battles are raging on every minute in the Steem Monsters universe. What many Steemians in particular (and of course the general public at large) probably do not recognize is that Steem Monsters is effectively rewarding its everyone who is able to play the game.

Note that rewards are based on the rating system! This has many implications given the way matchmaking works. Because matches are made based on summoner level, this means that EVERYONE had a chance to gain the max level of rewards, no matter how much you spent on the game itself! If you only bought the starter pack, you will pretty much be playing only against other people who did the same or spent just a little more. If you maxed out all the cards youll be playing against similar people who have done the same.
So how is this an airdrop? Because unlike most centralized collectible card games today, you actually OWN your cards and can sell them with relative ease thanks to the steemmonsters market or third party market. And best of all the cards vary in value based on their in-game use and rarity. So even one pack may have cards worth several hundreds of Steem or SBD. In any case, every pack currently sells for $2 and currently contains 5 cards. And even the booster packs themselves can be sold.
So effectively, this is a non-fungible airdrop using a non-fungible crypto token. In other words, those with better skill (on a fair matchmaking playing field) will get better rewards based on cards that have varying value.
The best part is that this will be a reoccurring "airdrop" and there are several other income generating benefits to this game (thatll ill talk about in the future).
Think about it!
