I made it !
I recently bought a 12 pack of cards and a few inexpensive "unique" cards and here i am on the top 100 Leaderboard. I am super excited about this. This is my first long term goal milestone reached.
Bot of course I am going to focus on maintaining and improving my ranking. I shouldn't need to put more funds in to do so as I am earning a good amount of Starbits everyday. I may put in a little more Hive as part of my "spending $420 by 4-20-21 " other than that it will all be self-sustaining from here.
