My Journey So Far

I already fully wrote about this over 2 months ago extensively which can be found here:

I consider this post now part 2

My Splinterlands Plans Going Forward...

I still very much enjoy the card game for what it is and I have enough cards to be relatively competitive in Wild Format with an average win rate over 50%

I have no plans to abandon the ship anytime soon but at the same time also no plans to bring new outside money in or re-invest heavily. This is mainly because I see more of an edge and growth potential elsewhere. So at this point, I see everything that goes into Splinterlands (especially when buying more cards) as a fun expense. I do really like and believe in the SPS narrative though mostly because the demand should outpace the inflation at the current price as the overall Market Cap is very small still.

When it comes down to Land, I'm glad I sold 10+ Plot claims for 170$+ each leaving me with only 3 plots which I only recently started to set up properly mainly because it's just not something that I'm really into. I also won't put much time into it going forward.

When it comes down to Rentals I always had big plans with the idea that I would hold onto cards for a long time and in the meantive have them rented out while they appreciate in value along the way. This however is not going as expected as card prices were crashed with the move to scrap collection power in favor of SPS which also killed the rental market. Splex stopped working a long time ago and I haven't taken the time yet to check into it. From the looks of it, I have to get whitelisted again.

With SPS so far I have done well as I was in full accumulation mode back when the price whas below 0.02$ (See Reaching SPS 150k+ Staked Goal)

I also have no plans whatsoever to sell it below 0.1$ so I keep compounding it daily still.

My 2024 Splinterlands Goals

These are some of the things I aim for in 2024

- Collect & Buy More Cards

Right now I only own 2 Rebellion Cards.

The Redwyrm Draon for the Immunity that is very useful in 1 specific game rule but so far I haven't actually used it once as I always overlooked it still going for Death or Life when it popped off. The Rush Townsend is one of those cards that works well in a speed deck which I like to make as it basically can attack twice in the firt round and it also gets piercing with the Jacek summoner. I managed to buy a copy for 7$ and will try to get it to level 2 or even 3 whenever it's possible to pick more of them up at those price levels. Likely I will get tempted by more of these cards along the way and start accumulating purely to have fun with them.

- Continue Blogging

I have kept very strong discipline when it comes down to making 2 Splinterlands posts each week both because I do still enjoy to write about the game and because they tend to be my best-performing post thanks to the Splinterlands curation. This to the point where blogging actually is a large part of my earnings in the ecosystem and they certainly help me to grow.

- Participate in Brawls

The Brawls remain on of the most fun aspects of the game and they also earn some good SPS and Merrits to get Gladius cards which now are one of the few ways to potentially get a good payout as golden legendaries can be burned for 50$. I do play on both my accounts and it's also the only real reason I still have my alt account as I know the guild won't be able to fill the spot since all my golden foil cards are there.

- Play Poseidar Wild Silver Invitational Tournamentout of all the tournaments, this is actually the only one that I participate in each time and I always earn at least some SPS which adds a bit to the overall earnings. These tournaments also always are quite the challenge but they are worth the effort even though they do add to the overall time investment.

- Give Up my Alt Account
The main problem remains time as most days it's already a task to fully get my capture rate down so it never goes above 100% on my main account. This season, I only getting to got to 31 Gold Chests there while on my main account, I'm at 50+ Diamond Chests.

So at some point, I will have to let it go just for time limitation issues.

- Take Profit on Totems
I already sold an epic totem a while back which gave me some funds to buy other crypto and recently sold 4 Common tokens for 300 Hive with 11 left along with 2 rares aside from the 3 rares that I use on my land plots.

The plan is to take profit on all of these and use to funds to re-invest in other crypto projects.

- Keep up the Long-term Grind

Pretty much the way to win in Splinterlands and be fully free2play by now has been to be consistent now for nearly 2000 Days which was easier than said as I just enjoy the game. As long as I continue to have the time I will keep playing and I actually only plan to exit in case it ever gets to a point when things get totally irrational again. If that happens, I will have to just take the money and run as there will be no way to out-earn the eventual downtrend in price which will come just like it did last time.

Conclusion

I'm still having fun with Splinterlands even though I stopped putting new funds into it and continue to set goals and move forward. The only reason for me to get out is in case things would go totally crazy again with everything getting overvalued which we are far away from right now.
