Splinterlands: Celebrating Small Wins In Bad Market Situation

---

---

It's been two weeks without writing anything on splinterlands after getting that Possibilius the Wise. I have taken the time to unleash this monster at every turn and believe me, it's not as worthless as a lot of people think.
I must say, it's important to relish every win one gets, whether it's a financial accomplishment or a strategic accomplishment.

Opening a 2$ chaos legion pack and getting cards from inside worth $5 is worth celebrating, and developing the right strategy for beating a stubborn opponent is worth celebrating, this is the same with achieving more with less, a feat that not many people can be able to pull off.

We All See These Accomplishments Differently

Now all these are financial accomplishments and the reason is that some people pay more to achieve less. Beating some of the most formidable lineups means, you now understand the card to buy to fix the anomaly within that lineup.

Some of the ways to achieve financial eureka are when you understand how to do bigger things for even cheaper prices since the aim is to eventually win. I have faced opponents who played level one cards throughout, and they even won Against my level 3 cards, now if the game wasn't tilted at one point in time to reward higher level lineups, that person who brought that level one lineup might keep throwing in that strategy because they've found cheaper ways to win.

Ingenuity Is to be celebrated

When the Money' might not be motivating

One thing I know about splinterlands is that it's possible to cut corners to win and this is the beauty of the game, it's possible to target bigger milestones, defeats the biggest boys in the game, and climb up, but eventually, it gets to that position where one's creativity can go no further.

There are no two ways to make a profit if an initial investment is not there, sometimes, the building becomes possible when the right resources are in place. A lot of people are happy to build cheaper decks while achieving more but imagine what these people can accomplish with an even better and decent deck.

Having More To Do Better Is Delightful

In reality, there's no joy in being limited

even if it's always beautiful to show how much we can do with the little we have. Splinterlands is a play2earn game with so many endless opportunities, without exploring these opportunities it's difficult to even understand the joy of earning. Experiencing this joy creates an urge to win bigger.

Being in such a situation makes you understand that while there's a beautiful feeling that comes with achieving little with less, there's a more accomplished feeling that comes with putting more skin in the game and enjoying the bigger dividends that comes with it. Splinterlands has taught me that there's never too much and there's never too little.

The only difference is the intent within and how far one is willing to go. Even if a person has all the money to completely max out their deck, how about other aspects like land ownership? Buying into each generation of cards, owning limited edition cards and of course many other aspects? This simply means no amount of money will be too much and no amount's too small too. It's a schoolboy's economic concept; how far mostly determines how well..

Gold Might Not be Golden

Anyway, I started this season in gold 3 modern. I'm still locked to earning gold chest, which requires the bar to hit 22k before I can have one chest. It roughly took 2 days to earn one gold chest, whereas I could have earned 5 to 6 silver chests. Surprisingly, while it feels good to earn gold chests, I still feel like earning Silver chests is way better.

There are more opportunities in more numbers, I am one for quantity over quality. There's this assurance in seeing more numbers. Now I don't know the prospective contents of these season's rewards but I want to think that, they wouldn't be different from what I'll get for accumulating more chest.

I wish I could be playing in gold 3 while collecting silver chests. My daily focus has remained and collecting silver chests and I'll like to keep it this way. Finally, I have 70k collection Power, I think I started the year with 20k who knows, maybe another 50k or more next year. So I got something decent in my daily quest, after getting some average daily focus rewards for 6 days in a row.

I think the excitement to get a pack reward is unmatchable. Last season I got a level one legendary in my daily focus. This season, something more exciting (let me show you) and I guess I'll keep getting something exciting in my daily focus, even if it'll be once a week, I don't think I'll mind.

The Joy Of Competition

Excitements as this raise the urge or need to compete, I'll be hoping to at least get an epic card in my end of the Season's rewards. This is possible since they're all gold chests, but then, it's a game of probability and this is even what makes it more beautiful. I think the effect of the bear market is bigger than we realize in the game.

I tend to feel that people are still used to the times when the rewards feel unthinkable, but basically, there's nothing wrong with building in a period like this, I think we won't have the bear market forever, and I like to see everything I've strived for better market situations happens. There's nothing bad with celebrating those little wins especially when the dollar value creates a feeling of worthlessness. This period is the biggest challenge for any project built on crypto, but it's a phase, it's inevitable, keep building, keep hoping
