1/ BITCOIN GAMING 2020 RETROSPECTIVE (a thread)
This has been a challenging year all around, but we’ve witnessed incredible commitment to building on Lightning.
The #bitcoin gaming community specifically used this year as an opportunity to bring people together through gaming.

@MintGox, a next gen esports tournament powered by Bitcoin, was born to showcase companies building games on LN. 🧙♂️

The streaming dashboard intro'd a novel way to break the fourth wall, letting viewers interact directly with the gameplay, using sats to drop powerups, inc. bounty, & send tips.
The most recent MintGox event saw over 5,200 viewers, 10,000+ LN txs, and over 10 million sats (0.1 $BTC) in prizes.

This year they launched their developer dashboard, Unity SDK, & gaming-focused wallet (over 100k tx since launch) featuring gamertags + static QR codes.

Using @CSGO as the first case study, players earn sats instantly for in game actions.

- Kills: 84,497
- Sats paid out: 5,631,432
- LN-payments: 471,418
- Avg payment size: 11.94
- Total player hours: 2,924

1/ A thread on Nexgen’s Arrow & the #uranium cycle ($NXE)
2/ Given the scale and cost structure of Arrow, it makes sense that investors are intensely focused on its delivery timeline. This thread will discuss possible timelines, current market expectations (i.e., what’s “priced in”) & how different Arrow scenarios will impact the mkt.
3/ As you can see from the litany of responses to Michael’s tweet, there is great skepticism in the market regarding Arrow’s timeline. This is largely due to a bearish narrative conveyed by competing CEO’s whose assets only hold value if Arrow is substantially delayed.
4/ Those who played “King of the Hill” as a child would remember that it is the person at the top who is constantly attacked, not the kid sitting at the bottom of the hill in the mud. No one cares enough about that kid to attack them. This is a good parable for $NXE & Uranium.
5/ First a quick note on “this cycle” – Segra generally defines this cycle as the deficits forecasted from the mid-2020s to late-2030s. When people imply an asset producing in the mid-to-late 2020s will “miss the cycle”, they clearly have not done any real S/D modelling.
Can anyone tell me an estimated time frame that Nexgen could be permitted, start building their mine and be producing #uranium ??? @quakes99 @JekyllCapital @travmcph @NexGenEnergy $nxe
