Wrote a blog about my journey coming to terms with being a crossdresser.. hopefully it answers most of your questions!
"Wearing a Dress and Saying Yes to a Copacetic Life"
Axie fam, I hear your frustration about the delay of Season 19.
Our dev team is working as hard as they can to deploy this scaling update, which is critical for the future of Lunacia.
The season will start ASAP after this is deployed.
Moments like this are part of being alpha!
Katana was launched just 30 days ago and part of a big product sprint for
@AxieInfinity
...
But the team hasn't slowed down at all, still firing on all cylinders as we work towards the next round of Axie product releases.
So much still to come. Hold steady.
According to our latest data, Axie's player spread is about 60% male and 40% female.
I don't know what the ideal spread is, if there is one, or if this data really even matters.
But I have to say, it is refreshing to be building in a community that isn't just 95% dudes.
Some quick clarity on definitions:
"account sharing" is two people playing on one account, and IS ALLOWED, as long as you're both exclusively playing on a single account.
"multi-accounting" is one person playing on multiple different accounts in a 24 hour period- never allowed.
To aspiring Axie scholars:
Remember, the more repetitive and spammy you are with your tweets, the more likely people are to mute you entirely- and see NONE of your posts.
Try to engage thoughtfully, instead of copy/pasting the same message over and over.
Axie Esports Fans:
I know we've been a little quiet about this esports grant; however, things are progressing nicely!
We have a draft of a calendar just about ready for release. The esports server is online and finishing the last round of testing.
The quiet before the storm.
50% of Axie's 1.6 million daily active users are new to blockchain & crypto.
25% are new to banking & basic finance.
This is powerful stuff!
We are continuing to work on providing better education tools for our new users, but still much work to be done on this front!
Really not cool to hold past hiring over someone’s head like it’s some kind of life debt to be forever thankful for.
Quite the power dynamic...
All you owe to employers is effort and hard work while employed. Nothing more.
For the record, I introduced that person to the DotA scene, along with people at OG. We took him to his first lan at the major because we respect his work and dedication. He acted nice and like a fan. Got him to work for secret alongside other jobs in DotA. So there’s history.
Reminder to all Axie managers:
You, as an Axie owner, are responsible for the actions of any scholars (players using any Aixes you own) that play on your behalf, and that their actions can have consequences for any connected accounts that you own.
I used to champion 70% for scholars and 30% for managers as the ideal split.
After reviewing some data points and talking to managers, I now think most scholarships should target a 50-50 split.
Play and Earn economies require balance to be sustainable long term.
Season 18 of Axie arena is going to be the biggest and most competitive yet, I think by a large margin.
Largest prize pool of any season yet!!
Can't wait to see everyone racing to the top of the leaderboard on twitch!

Muchas gracias Familia Axie! Te amo 🎀
Katana provides a new use case for $SLP, through liquidity mining, as the SLP/WETH pool is one of only two ways to get $RON tokens.
This new utility incentivizes users to claim outstanding SLP and farm RON rewards.
The result was 1.2 billion SLP being claimed in a single day.
When Battle V2 comes out, I suspect the Axie meta/market will change DRASTICALLY.
Axies that are god-tier right now, might not be moving forward.
Don’t try to chase the meta with money you can’t afford to lose!
Axie is a game first and foremost; playing should be fun.
I really want to see a top 100
@AxieInfinity
player do an experiment where they start fresh with a set of floor axies and see how high they can climb.
Curious how strong of a case we can make for skill outweighing team composition, all things equal.
Generally not a huge fan of these hashtags, but this one hits too close to home.
Life is much better after finally admitting to myself (and everyone else) that crossdressing and wearing dresses are a just part of who I am.
Here's to embracing that.
#NationalComingOutDay
I’ve only been focused on
@AxieInfinity
for a little over 3 months and we’ve already gone 10x since then…
Often find myself taking moments to appreciate how far we’ve come, yet also how far we still have to go!
We are aware of the recent reports of win-trading taking place on the Axie leaderboard.
We take competitive integrity very seriously and are currently conducting an investigation into the situation.
Working on
@AxieInfinity
full time has given me a new sense of purpose and motivation.
Our digital nation is already helping empower hundreds of thousands in poverty around the global.
Soon it will be millions.
This is already so much more than “just another video game”
Today I am stepping down as Managing Director at
@moonduckTV
and starting a new journey at the
@AxieInfinity
parent company
@SkyMavisHQ
as their Program Lead for Esports & Content Creators!
Season 19 will also include a balance update, with some nice changes that I think most of you will be excited about!
Your patience is greatly appreciated! 🙏
My travel companion paid for this share of this Iceland trip entirely with $SLP
He came for the gains, and stayed for the games!
Trip is paid off and he's still grinding away 🤣
Building great things takes time- it can't happen over night.
Stay focused on consistent, incremental improvements.
1% every day has huge compounding potential!
There is still so much room for
@AxieInfinity
to grow.
We’re still early. You haven’t missed out yet. It’s definitely not too late to get in.
My DM’s are always open if yourself curious about how this new model for gaming is changing the world.
I’m flattered any time someone asks me about my preferred pronouns.
Thoughtful to ask, but I couldn’t care less what pronoun you use to address me. It won’t change how I see myself.
Just be friendly in general, and I’ll gladly respond in kind.
Handling volatility is a big part of being an investor- true in any market but especially in crypto.
Bleeding edge technology like Axie is often more susceptible to short term volatility.
We must think long, and remember that the Axie universe is still only ~20% deployed.
Today is Data Monday- with another update about
@AxieInfinity
growth on twitch!
In the last 90 days:
-2.8 million hours of Axie watched
-2,725 unique Axie broadcasters
We've averaged 1,332 viewers across 22 different channels at any given time.
Great work everyone! 📈🚀🎊❤️
This is the way forward.
Streamers and influencers in Axie are model roles and community leaders.
Our actions set the stage and have ripple effects.
I applaud this type of honesty and commitment to the future.
Well done
@extrarai_
. Thank you.
⚠️ PSA ⚠️
There is a fake/scam version of the “ronin wallet” on the
@GooglePlay
store.
We’ve contacted them multiple times and issued take down requests but have gotten no response.
DO NOT INSTALL THIS APP!
IT IS FAKE- DO NOT TRUST RESPONSES FROM “JUNIOR CESAR”
Congratulations to
@ElijahCTG
for taking first place and
@AzarianTV
for taking second place in the Axie E1337 Open

today!
It was a great event to start off this “pre-season” of third party Axie esports!
Good stuff

@Ax_SCB
Ronin is a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) / Proof-of-Authority (PoA) blockchain.
This means it uses about 95% LESS energy than any Proof-of-Work chain (like Bitcoin & Eth).
This has a trade off in terms of centralization, but clear benefits in terms of usability and environmental cost.
To everyone suggesting "just give us a warning before ban"
This is extremely abusable by bad actors. It gives them more data points to reverse engineer the ban system.
This is also why bans are done in waves. Less opportunity for bad actors to react and move assets.
And now I own an Axie that's worth more than my car.
Still trying to process how much this axie means to me, and how much I appreciate
@Coco__Bear
for making it possible!!
Next up is to find the perfect name for this queer little axie cutie 🥰
Big update yesterday while chatting with
@ElijahCTG
Yesterday I liquidated all of my remaining $BTC holdings to purchase a Mystic Axie!!
First time ever since I've been in crypto where I've had 0 BTC, and it feels a little weird 😅
Met so many managers here in Miami from Venezuela, and they all have incredibly moving stories about the social impact that’s happening around Axie. Many hugs and a few tears.
Wanted to speak last night after Jiho, but was choking up while trying to find my words.
❤️🇻🇪
These Axie meetups have been amazing, motivational… and sometimes even overwhelming.
So much passion, generosity, and forward thinking in our community- and it’s palpable when we come together.
All I can say right now is THANK YOU!!
Great community is made by great people!
Starting to see more Axie growth/buzz in Indonesia!!
Estimates of ~50 million active gamers there, many of which are already big into traditional mobile games (especially competitive ones).
Very exciting to see more of these Indonesian gamers move into
@AxieInfinity
😊
Loneliness is more common than many people realize- especially during holidays.
Most days I couldn't be more happy with my current lot in life, but there are dark days too... and they are important to recognize.
Be kind to yourself and those around you.
♥️
Can’t stop thinking about the AXIE WORLD TOUR idea we workshopped on stream yesterday…
Quickly accelerating from ideation to drawing board.
Who’s ready for a live Axie podcast in their home town??
I want to have at least 500,000 SLP stockpiled for when origin launches.
Planning to breed quite a few of these pure Axies that have popped up on the market 👀
Our first esports grant, in 2021, was a clear success and great proof of concept for the competitive nature of
@AxieInfinity
.
There will be another esports grant, with several improvements to make tournaments more accessible to everyone.
More info will be coming soon!
Onboarded one of my Dota friends into Axie and suggested he pick up this triple plant, anti-aqua outlast team.
He's winning 15 round matches and loving life right now.. I'm nervous that I've created a monster 😆
Imagine for a moment that you’re a parent and you have a 14 year old that already has $500k in crypto profits.
What would be your strategy to keep your child on the straight and narrow?
Some days I can’t tell the difference between memes and reality.
No jokes, do any of you ACTUALLY BELIEVE that $SLP is going to 0?
Volatility =\= Death Spiral
Constructive feedback is always welcome and appreciated in Axie.
Things that aren’t constructive:
-insults
-personal attacks
-witch-hunts
-asking for pumps
-spamming
-brigading
-sealioning
Today, we take one step closer to a more prosperous future for our nation ✨
Katana, the Ronin Dex, is live!
You can now deposit liquidity and swap tokens. RON rewards will be activated for the AXS/ETH & SLP/ETH pools later this week.

We are looking to prioritize experimenting with short-term approaches towards managing SLP’s inflation in 2022!
It’s going to be a big year- both for economy and gameplay.
We’ve put together a blog to share some of our thoughts on the Axie economy and some of the short-term solutions that we are discussing. Many of them are in-line with suggestions we’ve seen directly from the community!
