Did you pay the $1,000 entry fee yourself or did you get a “scholarship” like the article mentions? How does one invest more than the $1,000 entry fee? Do you sponsor “scholarships”? How long ago did you start playing and how much time have you put into the game? What return (if any) have you made on your time/monetary investment? What return (if any) do you expect to make and over what horizon?

Thanks for agreeing to answer questions! I’m very intrigued!

Yes, I have about 100 "scholars" from the Philippines working for me. I put in about $30,000 a few months ago. Return has been 300%+

I'm also involved in breeding new axies which is more complex and time consuming. The return of that varies a lot, but can be very profitable, very hard to put a number on that but I'd say las few weeks it was probably 250% APR if you didn't get too unlucky.

I would probably cash out a lot of things, but I feel bad for making 100 people suddenly unemployed, so I will probably stop expanding but not actually selling off all my things.

Would you be interested in selling/handing off your 100/person team to someone else? Am in the crypto space working on some P2E gaming middleware apps and very interested in running and potentially expanding the the team/guild myself. casey @ mpa . land

Not OP, but about to enter and give a scholarship to a friend. There is no 1kUSD entry fee. What you need to enter is to buy three Axies/Pokemon. The starting point for this is nowadays near 300 USD, but buying a decent team is around 500 USD.
