AxieBCH is the hottest token on the SmartBCH sidechain, with a total supply of 100M. Just recently, they had a presale where you can buy 10,000 AxieBCH for only 0.07 BCH. Although I got lucky to participate in the presale, I wish I bought more. It would have been nice if I did, though. Unfortunately, I did not, and now, all I can just do is move on.
Why I trust AxieBCH
Of all the tokens on SmartBCH, I must say that AxieBCH is my top favorite. Although there was no free airdrop when they launched their token just like the others, AxieBCH is, by far, the most legit one, in my opinion. How come? Well, as PVM mentioned in his article, AxieBCH is backed by real people, the same creators of the game OLICRYPTO, where $OLI holders will get a fair share from Sasha's real-life performance in tennis competitions.
If I'm not mistaken, PVM is, if not the only one, probably one of the content writers on their website and has been in contact with them ever since. So if he trusts them, I have no reason not to. I'm not saying you should follow everything he says or writes, but PVM never goes for the hype tokens. He always does his own research before promoting anything to his readers.
If you want to know more about AxieBCH, their plans, and other big stuff, you can direct on their Telegram group and ask their awesome admin @OLICRYPTO for more info.
AxieBCH scholarship
As I was saying, AxieBCH also offers scholarships for those who are interested in becoming their scholars. To apply for the scholarship, just read their simple conditions here. They have quite a few but don't worry, everything is attainable, though. Just be sure to read them all and check out their Discord to apply for a scholarship.
Journey to becoming an AxieBCH scholar
So the search for scholars started on the 19th of September and, at that time, I wasn't active on their Discord group yet. Yes, I did fill up their application but was too busy on other stuff that I didn't focus much. Not until @JiroXShin posted on our TG group that he got accepted as the first AxieBCH scholar.
I wanted to be a scholar, too, so I went to their group. When I saw the admin's aka Coach Nazko's post that he will only prioritize the active ones, I decided to spend more time on their group and ditch TG first. Although there were already few people in their group, there was no dull moment for me since I have Jiro there, along with @Eybyoung and @NosCha, a new member of our Club1BCH fam.
You know I'm quite a good chatter so getting along with the others has never been a problem at all being a newbie. Plus, most of the members are also Filipinos, so everything went smoothly for me. When the coach announced that he would be choosing 10 applicants to take the test, I was determined to stay active there so he would notice me. Well, guess what? He did!
Step 1: Test
Yes, he then called my name and told me that I'd be one among the other 9 applicants to receive an invitation for the test examination. I got anxious that I might fail the exam. After a few hours of waiting for his next instructions, as he had a tournament to finish first, he then send me and Eyb our exam via Google Form. After 10 minutes, I finished the exam and had to wait another 2 hours for his next instructions.
An unexpected event
When he came back, he then checked our answers and announced that we passed the initial exam. Unfortunately, there was some kind of cheating going on there. He only invited 10 applicants to take the exam, but he received 11 responses. The coach was upset about the cheating issue but decided to move on after removing the 11th anonymous one. He suspected 2 applicants but was not sure if he found the real culprit there.
Step 2: Interview
We were quite worried that Coach Nazko won't accept our answers and consider them void after that incident. The good thing he continued and told us to prepare as he would call us one by one for the final interview. Initially, there shouldn't be a verbal interview. It should be a chat interview but then because of what happened, he wanted to make sure that we are all different individuals.
The result
We were all quite nervous about the interview coz we were worried we won't be able to answer his questions. When it was my turn, I just tried to relax. The call lasted for about 20 minutes or so I guess. Would you like to know how the call ended? Well, it ended with a thank you because I got in, making me an official AxieBCH scholar. The best part is, @Eybyoung got it too!
Yes, we're going to Axieland in the next coming days.
Am I ready? Of course! I mean I've never played Axie before but the fact that I will be doing this with my club fam and newly found friends is enough to get thrilled for the next coming days. I just hope more of the Club1BCH will join too. As of now, there are less than 10 scholars, and there will be more coming soon. According to our coach, they need 50 scholars. That means you still have time to join now.
Just be sure to read their conditions first, and then fill-up the form in their Discord group. You also need to follow these links below:
Oh, by the way, the chosen scholars will get paid 60% of your earnings in Bitcoin Cash every bi-weekly. This is a perfect opportunity for you to accumulate more BCH for your 1BCH goal. Yay! Hurry up before you lose this chance to be a scholar. Lastly, even those who have little to zero experience can still participate.
Closing thoughts
Whether you're a gamer or just looking for another source of income, the AxieBCH scholarship is perfect for you! As I've said, this is open for everyone so don't waste your time procrastinating and just check their Discord now!
Just found this as well. I managed to apply, but reading that there is a test and interview I am now nervous 🙈 I’m only just starting with blockchain games.
