First Segment: Introduction:

Also, Please share some information about your team? How big is the team right now?

Paul: CEO & Co-founder
I have over 20 years of product design experience in Finance, FinTech, Gaming and since 2017 Blockchain.
I have held many leadership roles including former founder & CEO of a digital design agency, co-founder & COO of algorithmic cryptocurrency trading platform.
The team at GameFi Inc is around 26 people now from different countries around the world. We truely are a remote decentralised team.
We have developers, game designers, product owners, managers, marketing experts, community management, illustrators, artists and animators.
Host: 2: Can you please provide detailed information about The Crypto Prophecies and How long you’ve been building this?
Paul: The Crypto Prophecies is a decentralised peer-to-peer price prediction game that has NFT characters called Crypto Prophets.
Crypto Prophets are a scarce and mysterious type of magical creature that roam the Crypto World. Although you can find Prophets in every race in the Crypto World, each race has different inherent magic that flows within them.
The core game is PvP wager based, but we also have a PvE Play-to-earn mode and economy coming in a couple of weeks time.
For the PvP battles, you place your wager and go head-to-head with another player to battle it out over the candles, predicting how each one will close.
It’s a points based and it’s against the clock, so be quick and watch out for your opponents magic spells!
The winner at the end of the battle wins all the wager.
The Crypto Prophecies Game — Dev update 8 October — Battle Arena first reveal!
In this developer update we show you the first look at the Fabled Battle Arena of Opulentos. This is the first battle mode in The Crypto Prophecies and allows 2 players to go head-to-head in a wagered battle.
We show you in this video the choosing of your NFT Crypto Prophet from the Inventory section and how you can equip them with Magic Staffs, Capes, Wands and Pets.
During the battle, we show how magic spells work, the visual effect seen by players from either side of the battle.
We also demonstrate the ability to rematch your opponent at the end of the battle for the same wager.

We conceptualised the game in Q4 2020 and have been prototyping and building ever since. So its just under 12 months since we started.
Host: 3: The $TCP token is live on big exchanges already. Can you please give us more details about its sales and listings? What are the utilities of your token $TCP?
Paul: The $TCP token is currently listing on about 8 exchanges on Ethereum network and Polgyon network.
The exchanges include KuCoin, Gate, UniSwap, QuickSwap and a few others.
There are links to each exchange and market on our website:
https://www.thecryptoprophecies.com/game
$TCP token is rammed full of utility within our game and ecosystem, such as:
• Used to wager in battles
• Used to purchase NFT summoning stones
• Won in daily prize draw
• Pays the Kingdom fee, which benefits the community and holders
• Gain access to tournaments and events
• Staking to earn rewards or other tokens such as Magic Potions (MPOTs) which are needed for summoning
Then next year, we will also introduce live streaming and wagering, so like eSports where you can watch a tournament and bet on the outcome using TCP.
Host: 4:Please tell us more about NFT characters, And how many NFTs have been minted already and what are your future plans regarding NFT utilities?
Paul: The Crypto Prophecies — Generation 1 NFT launch
Get ready because here come the Crypto Prophets!
With 5 rarity tiers and over 40 unique Crypto Prophets to find in Generation 1, there is no telling which one you’ll summon.
Will it be “Blaze”, who can easily crush ‘paper-handed’ opponents with his overwhelming attacks.
Or “Ember” the young Satoshian who suffers from the occasional bout of FUD!
Could you get lucky and find an honourable Etherian ancient wizard such as “Hollow Prince”.
Or “Shroom” — the most creative of the Four Elder Etherians who sees visions of the future.
Maybe you’ll be blessed with a friendly Tezmanian Arcane mage like “Callisto”…
…or be able to HODL with “Pharox” the Tezmanian who uses his powerful arcane magic to maintain peace within his region.
Will you be able to harness the mind-controlling powers of the evil Ripptilian… “Sludge”…
Or the cunning and savage FUDster “Oozor”… who punishes opponents by trapping them in terrifying illusions.
With so many Crypto Prophets to collect, who will you summon first?
Crypto…
NFT Crypto Prophets — Prophets are the main characters of the game, there are many different races of Prophets to buy, collect and find, each with different magical abilities.

To get a crypto prophet, one must first get an NFT Summoning Stone from our shop in the Dapp.
You use the summoning stone at the ancient summoning portal, and this summons your NFT crypto prophet
a really important feature to note is that our NFTs can be burned in order to upgrade them. This means that the supply of Crypto Prophets will always reduce making them more scarce within a generation.
we are currently on generation 1, and a total of 112,000 Crypto Prophets could ever exist. But players have already started burning 5x NFTs to upgrade to 1x NFT of the next level
Current circulating supply of Crypto Prophets is around 8000
In terms of future plans, we are looking at a lending program. Where owners can lease out their NFTs to other players for a premium or possible for a profit share.
Host: 5: Briefly enrich our audience about the main concept behind your game “The Battle Arena”
— Do players need any kind of specialized equipment to play the game?
Paul: The Battle Arena is the core game and it is pretty simple game of price prediction.
You’re paired with an opponent, who places the same wager size as you.
You play 10 candles, each 10 seconds.
You must watch the price action and then predict if the candle will close up or down (green or red).
The skill required is increased as you need to carefully watch your opponent, see when they predict and if they get it right/wrong.
Both players are also against the clock, so the faster you predict, the more points you might score. But if you predict incorrecly, you lose those points.
If you fail to make a prediction you lose 100 points.
…If you fail to make a prediction you lose 100 points.
To make it even more fun and more challenging, different rarity of Crypto Prophets can be equipped with magic items, also NFTs.
Magic items such as Staff, Capes, Wands and Pets can be used to cast spells on your opponent and hinder their chances.
Some spells engulf the opponents vision in flames, stopping them from seeing the candlesticks and price movement.
Some spells also stop the player being able to make a prediction.
Some pet spells do both, making pets extremely powerful.
And then Capes are a defense spell and protect your crypto prophet from magic spells.
The winner at the end of the battle wins the total wager, minus the kingdom fee.
The kingdom is 3%. Of which 50% is burned and 40% tops up the daily prize pool.
Appologies, you said ‘briefly explain’… Its hard to be brief on something I am so passionate about.
just need a NFT crypto prophet
we intentionally wanted a low barrier to entry, so you can buy NFT prophet for around $5
2nd Segment: Questions from the Twitter announcement:
Host: 1: Hi Everyone. This question is rather unique. How did you guys come up with the symbolism behind the comics, magic types, pets, items, and names like Satoshians, etc.? I’m sure it was a fun and creative process!
Question by @L69469441
Paul: Myself and my co-founder Philipe have spent a combined 35 years in the creative industries such as advertising and design.
We like a concept and story to underpin everything we do.
We designed The Crypto Prophecies specifically for the crypto degen audience.
We created races based on major cryptocurrencies.
And then themed the races characteristics and lore specifically to reflect the underlying crypto.
We wanted it to be subtle, rather than in your face. So, if you know, you know… type of thing.
Races
https://whitepaper.thecryptoprophecies.com/prophets/races
We also brought in an experienced game writer to help us refine the lore and characteristics.
It is a lot of fun!
Soon we will start designing new races and characters for generation 2. And we will be asking the community to input, vote and work with our designers and illustrators.
Host: 2: Are all the prizes that can be obtained in Crypto Prophecies NFTs tokens? Or will they really provide some other reward for achieving records of consecutive victories, best prophecy of the week or some similar theme?
Question by @PKragak
Paul: So the main prizes will be paid in $TCP token
However, for special events and tournaments there may also be NFTs as prizes.
We are also in discussion with other games and companies about how they could possibly sponsor our leaderboards and offer our players additional value and prizes.
Host: 3: Question is about game, Is there a chance that we can choose who we fight? Like choosing a friend for a friendly battle and not just any random player.
Question by @tini_Guerrero
Paul: We have almost finished a new feature called ‘challenge opponent’ this allows any player to challenge any other player that is online, for any wager size (small or big) that they wish.
So yes, 100% its coming, just won’t be available when we first launch.
3rd Segment: Community round
Q1: Do you have a coin burn / buyback system or do you plan to increase the value of those token burn tokens and attract investors to invest?
Question by hanxinhi
Paul: Once the game launches, we burn 1.5% of daily platform volume.
So the more people that play, the more they wager, then the more we burn.
Q2: How many members does group have? What is the situation of the new members joining the group in the future?
Question by Gotohome70
Paul: We have over 300,000 wallet addresses signed up to play.
Our telegram has over 100,000 users.
Twitter has over 26,000 users.
Q3: How can you convince me to invest in your project? What are the benefits and assurances as an investor?
Question by LiuYifei889
Paul: Just ask any of the closed beta testers if they like the game. That should be all the convincing you’ll need.
Q4: Do you have a community for NoN “English” speakers and are you a global project or not? Any Ambassador program plans available for different countries?
Question by Hayden129
Paul: We have growing communities in multiple languages, some are on Telegram but most are on our discord channel: https://discord.gg/MRWVFbMGYt
Q5: Do you allow suggestions and feedback from the community
Are we allowed in decision making, do you put community into consideration?
Question by LiuYifei889
Paul: Yes we do, we welcome it. But not all suggestions will be implemented.
Host: Thank you so much @Paul_Lindsell for the very detailed answers!
