Hello everyone. Today I am going to share my experience. in 
I joined Hive in the december of 2017. But I only started playing splinterlands in July of 2019. At this point I don't even remember how I encountered this game. I think it was a chance encounter- probably someone from my friends shared it in my feed. I am also not sure how much time I spend playing splinterlands. I have it in an open tab almost entire day.
My biggest accomplishments during these years were 12k staked SPS.
I reached this milestone just recently. This is important because now I will be able to participate in silver wild tournaments. Another accomplishment I no longer remember was winning 118 battles in a row. I guess that happened a very long time ago. I guess that happened a very long time ago because now winning 7-8 battles in a row is challenge for me. My final accomplishment is that I started buying some powerful cards. Namely HYDRA level 3 and MIMOSA NIGHTSHADE level 3. In the past I also was able to reach Champion league a few times. But at that time I was renting a lot of cards and that is not something I can do now.
In the future I hope to once again exceed my hive goals(at least 10k HP by the end of 2024) and use the excess hive to buy more cards. I would love to level up my Kron to level 3 and gain Last Stand ability. I also want to buy CORNEALUS level 2, SCARRED LLAMA MAGE level 2 and VALNAMOR level 2(This seems unlikely because it is very expensive). I would also love to reach the point where I would not fall outside of the gold league because I don't like playing in silver league. Also this is obvious but I want to win more battles. I win less than a half of my battles and that is not good enough.
I have only a little advice for beginners. Join the game now. I wish I had started playing splinterlands much earlier. Possibility of earning money while playing a game is just awesome. Also be smarter than me. I wasted part of my card collection by selling it and then playing dice. I regret it now just like I regret taking breaks from hive or not joining splinterlands earlier.
This advice applies to both Hive and Splinterlands: Do not look at it as a short term investment or a chance to earn a few bucks. Collect as much Hive, SPS, DEC and cards as you can. Don't waste it selling it for a small price. Hold them and let it grow. DON'T RUSH TO SELL. DON"T WASTE IT. Of course this is just me sharing my experience and not a financial advice. Also if you are already playing splinterlands you should participate in social media and battle challengers and maybe try creating splinterlands art to maximize your earnings.
If you would also like to start playing splinterlands and earning by making posts about your battles or by making art inspired by splinterlands please consider using my referral link: https://steemmonsters.com?ref=fieryfootprints
Also please consider visiting my art gallery. So far it has only a few pieces that are inspired by splinterlands . But in the future I might add more works with splinterlands monsters.
Thank you and have a nice day.
