Splinterlands Social Media Challenge - my greatest Splinterlands Achievement to date!!

Good morning Splinterlandians, Praetorians, Hivers and friends of all manner!

I am excited to share something AMAZING that I have accomplished in the Splinterverse!

As many of you know, I believe Splinterlands is the culmination of a lifelong dream - the ability to combine gaming, digital ownership and being able to make money doing something I love and have been doing my whole life: Playing Video/Trading Card Games!!

There are many facets to Splinterlands and one of the things I've learned in my decade with Crypto is to SET GOALS... and pursue them when the opportunity presents itself. This often means buying when others are focusing on something else... aka selling.

First, let us look at just some of the various ways to both EARN and ENJOY the opportunities Splinterlands presents:

#play2earn - this is the core of it!! You play the game, you earn rewards which you can keep/trade/sell etc...

#Conflicts - The new card set #Rebellion was just launched and with it, a new and rather ingenious way of earning Airdrop Reward Cards: Conflicts - you earn Cards for that!

$SPS Staking - if you stake the tokens, for a time, you earn more of the tokens!

Land - if you buy/own/work Land... you get rewarded for that!

Cards - you can RENT cards to other players and earn rewards for THAT!

Liquidity pools - if you have tokens and put them in Liquidity pools to make it easier for people to swap... you earn rewards for that!!!

Licenses - there are upcoming features where you can run a Validator Node to ensure the Blockchain is behaving properly and help with the behind the scenes management of the game... oh yeah... there are rewards for that!!

There's many more than this too - seriously, there are a TON of ways to be rewarded!!

Today though, I want to focus on celebrating that I hit a long time goal I've had with Splinterlands!!

For each License you own, you earn ~ 18.8 $SPS Tokens and 4 Vouchers per day!

That equates to earning roughly $.58 each day, at current prices...

I'm not selling at current prices!! I have many goals with Splinterlands - some are forever goals and some are going to ebb and flow with the market cycles 😁

Since the release of the Validator Node License (full name) I have wanted to collect enough to earn 100 SPS per day (roughly).

When they released, they were $2,000 but could be lowered to $1,000 with Vouchers

I managed to get one of those! Then I got another at the $3,000 ($1,500 with Vouchers) Tranche!!

Then...

The Bear Market Cometh...

I managed to scoop one of the Licenses on the cheap for around $500 awhile ago... bringing me up to a total of THREE Licenses... or roughly 60 $SPS per day and 12 Vouchers.

Throughout the Market Cycle, the price fluctuated but I was so busy collecting a full Max CL Deck and putting together 95% of my Max RW Deck... I missed a few killer opportunities.

Then Rebellion came out...

I saw an opportunity a few weeks ago and wanted to buy one for $600... but I missed it... I said too much in the Discord channels like Mav Chat and other people bought the ones I was eyeballing on Tribaldex 😭😭😭😭

However... with the post ETF pullback, prices of Crypto assets dropped across the board...

I covered it in this post: Buy the rumor, sell the news

In addition, Conflicts were released - they're so awesome and I love the way they are being done!!! Go check out Conflicts! MAKE SURE YOU WATCH THE INTRO!!! Great job @nateaguila and team!!!!

With all this outside pressure... the price of Licenses fell back below $600 and I made sure to use my weekly purchase $$$ and pulled some funds from a Liquidity Pool to snag one!!

That put me up to FOUR!! My goal had been 5 for sooooo long... I considered things for quite some time and with only ONE remaining License on #Tribaldex... I splurged, stretching myself uncomfortably thin... reorganized some funds I had elsewhere... AND GOT THE LAST LICENSE UNDER $600!!!

THAT PUT ME AT FIVE NODE LICENSES!!! I HAVE HIT MY GOAL!!!

Each day, these bad boys will add roughly 94 $SPS and 20 Vouchers to my digital coffers... That's almost 35,000 SPS per year!! This will allow me to level up and play in the higher Leagues: Diamond and Champ... while still earning higher bonuses for Staked SPS... #play2earn indeed!!

I don't know if I'll be able to add another one any time soon - I am way overstretched as it is... However - this was a LONG TIME IN THE MAKING!!

I DID IT!! I HAVE HIT A MAJOR MILESTONE IN MY SPLINTERLANDS JOURNEY!!

What's my next Goal, you ask?? I'm on the hunt for a Keep... or dare I say...

...a CASTLE!

Unfortunately... I am not that lucky (see Salty Saga lol)

That's all I have for you today folks!! Thank you for joining me and I would LOVE for you to join me in game!!

Naturally, after everything leading up to this moment, I do think Splinterlands is one of the BEST web3 games out there! It brings the #play2earn feature to the forefront of development as well as many opportunities for people to earn rewards - whether Player or Investor!!

If you're interested in the future of gaming, it's worth checking out!
