Welcome One & ALL to the Holy Bible of Blockchain Gaming
Another update to the previous guide that I shared last year and earlier again this year.
I will now divulge the scripture of profit that has found the most success in personal and community growth available to you all!
Blockchain gaming
is evolving, and dCITY stands out as Hive’s premier city simulator—a game that’s not just fun but profitable.
Whether you’re a new player or a veteran, combining these three powerhouse strategies can unlock insane earning potential. Let’s break it down.
Why dCITY?
Ownership: Trade NFTs with real value.
Passive Income: Daily payouts in SIM tokens & HIVE.
Governance: Influence the game’s future through decentralized voting.
Low Barrier to Entry: Start with just 0.04 HBD (about 3k SIM) to test the waters.
Even a single Economist NFT (Tax Refund + Income stats) can qualify you for daily payouts.
If you are lucky, you can get one for less than 3000 SIM right now.
3000 SIM = 0.22 HIVE = .04 HBD
Test it out and come back to this post for the most profitable blockchain gaming strategy 2025.

Strategy #1: Citizen Farming (The Floor Play)
Goal: Rank in the top 400 Income Leaderboard to claim Young Citizens (NFTs with passive Tax Refund stats).
How It Works:
Buy strategic NFTs (e.g., Wind Turbines for future Combines like Wind Farms).
Optimize stats to hit the leaderboard (cost: ~8-9k SIM or <1 HIVE).
Claim daily Citizens via Discord (they age into Students, Tax Collectors, etc.).
Why It’s OP:
Citizens can be traded for massive ROI (e.g., Tax Collectors sell high).
Minimal effort: Just hold NFTs and claim rewards.
Here's my Blueprint:
If you ever want to get an idea of different successful strategies available all you have to do is check the leaderboards.
We can see that @whatamidoing and @whenwar are able to achieve a competitive rank using a completely different set up of NFT cards and stats.
Comparing the values of the cities I think you will find my strategies are exactly a million times more optimized for profitable operation.
I personally find that the least amount of different cards needed to buy is the easiest way to discuss and present these strategies so I opted for multiples of the best cards for their stats.
Stack Wind Turbines for a future Combine called Wind Farm which gives Wind Turbines an extra layer of passive income through Tax Refund.
HOW TO CLAIM CITIZENS
First you will need to join the dCity discord!
Once you have the cards necessary to rank in the top 400 Income leaderboard you need only wait for the daily snapshot before you are eligible for the citizen claim.
Claims take place in the bot-commands channel and use the --claim (your username) command giving you a Young Citizen.
Young Citizens provide a Tax Refund stat and they will naturally(passively) age and change into Students and then eventually go into debt and or become old removing their Tax Refund stat.
In order to progress them further into a new citizen type you simply need to pay off their debt and this is called student training which has some incredible profit potential.
Take for example the Tax Collector which is tradable in the marketplace for some insane ROI values.
I won't go into detail about how to play citizen farming as a strategy as you can just read my previous guide for 2024 to get an idea.
This year I am developing for you the understanding of compounding community growth with personal growth in dCITY and why it is truly the most profitable blockchain gaming strategy.
The Community Trifecta of Joint Growth Power
Let’s break down the dCITY ecosystem and how its unique combination of delegations, liquid NFTs, DeFi utility, and SIM Club membership creates a powerhouse for both personal ROI and community growth on Hive.
This strategy leverages multiple reward streams, making it one of the most lucrative (and socially impactful) projects on the blockchain.
Firstly, I will discuss the benefit of SIM POWER(30 day average of SIM holdings) which provides a passive daily airdrop of HIVE to holders at the tune of 29.61% APR.
8k SIM threshold
No limit to holding rewards
Holdings also provide ingame governance power
Second, I will share the exclusive SIM Club which require a SIM Power of 1 million and gives access to the Club Curation channel in Discord.
This Club benefit allows members to access the curation power of @dcityrewards
This benefit isn't guaranteed but it can be used to support your own content that isn't dcity related and even other people's content.
The club gives curation rewards that will allow dcity investors an opportunity to ROI without having to change their content strategies.
Creating dCity content is highly valuable as well so always keep that in mind and be sure to upvote the other dcity content creators to get inspired.
Third and most important is the Delegation feature which provide passive daily growth through NFT citizen farming.
500 HP delegated to @dcityrewards supports the curation club benefits with the addition of HP growth you also get 1 daily passive citizen airdropped to your account for every 500 HP delegated & citizen lottery tickets every 200 HP.
Think about the loss of utility in converting your HP into HIVE with a powerdown.
This strategy of delegation provides liquid NFT assets with defi utility that can be traded instantly or held for passive income while supporting community growth.
If you are sitting on a mountaintop of Hive Power maybe it's time to make the best utilization of community growth with personal growth in dcity?
Let's Recap the strategy and rewards
Sim Club - 1 Million SIM valued at less than $20 = lifetime of potential Curation Support for posts you choose to share in Club Curation channel and valuable insights to game development plus in game governance & passive 29% APR daily HIVE airdrop
Top 400 leaderboard - Entry level citizen farming strategy costs less than $1 and provides daily passive income plus citizen claims worth $.01 right now also subject to change depending on market. Combine this daily claim with dcity content creation for a much higher reward potential.
Delegation - Turn a 500 HP + Delegation into liquid assets that support community curation without loss of utility through powerdown and without changing your current content strategy.
That's a wrap folks!
