Added to my AERODROME position during the crash as it dipped way down allowing me to purchase some units at a much lower cost than before and DCA in a bit. I will be adding the new units to the LP slowly as price recovers so I dont miss out on the likely gains from here or miss out on the fees in case we stagnate but as of now I see a upside move so I will be holding off on adding the new AERO to the LP and keeping it liquid and adding some each week to the LP which has already generated some AERO for me and if I can expand the LP holdings in the AERO/USDC to about 1000-2000 will get about 1000 to 2000 worth in AERO per year and can use those fees to sell when it gets high and put one sided buys when prices are going down to DCA in and out with the fees earned putting the profits back into the LP to earn additional AERO from emissions. The token appears to be at a bottom with the volume divergence as well as a ton of volume which usually signals a bottom or close to it and it looks like prices are up about 100% almost from the low spike and if they break through to the upside likely they will keep going and as long as the rest of the market say eth is bullish AERO will likely follow but be more volatile to either the up or downside. I will continue to add on dips and add to the LP to continue farming AERO on base as well as look into other airdrops on base as well as other chains such as continuing drops on arbitrum, zkSync etc and new drops coming up like for linea, gravitas, aql, tango, esHMX, FDX, FAITH, ZERO, ZRO, various points for liquid staked and re staked eth protocols airdrops. Also play to airdrop games in order to get NFTs and in game currency to start a position in making markets for each game in order to fund the purchases and investments into the NFTs that will be used in the game to rent out if there is a rental market or used to earn and build up the LP until there is a rental market then everything will be passive and set up to earn via the NFTs by renting or using a profit share model and using that to feed the LP which is where half the fees will be taken out and half go back into the game to get more NFTs to rent and so on until the collection is big enough and produces a decent amount of cash flow then that will be used to move into the next game if there is no more expansion able to be done in the current game like if there is a guild system the next step would be to fund a guild and rent out the cards on a long term basis to the guild in order to get a profit share from the guilds earnings in addition to a discounted rental amount from the guild players which will be the min received if they do not make more than the discounted amount. If the guild does then they split it 50/50 or could be more or less depending on how many NFTs are rented out to them. Will be testing this in splinterands with rented land once demand comes back for land hopefully so that I can try a different approach and not specialize in anything but renting out the land to people with the need for it and also renting out the cards separately with high pp for a split to diversify my land holdings as well as hopefully maximize them with the plot synergies and get fully maxed cards on every plot split with the owner and will likely be able to attract good cards with the runi i have. If i can get the land cash flow back to 100-200 dollars a week instead of maybe 15-20 dollars a week now that prices have cratered since I started with land. Cards to put on land are to expensive still an need to be much cheaper as people need to buy assuming sps will stay flat or even decrease another possible 60% as it prints more over the years. Also need to factor in the fact that more land coming on line means less resources per pp get distributed so each pp is worth less than it was yesterday if more add to land. I have been working on a way to pull out the data for land and data on all the land whales and what they are doing with there plots plus map out the region profitability and what each tract or region is producing and how much total pp out of the total pp available is on land and how much more can be put on it which would dilute earnings. Right now old cards need to come way down in price and so do any card that is basically being used for land or its not worth the investment right now. The only thing worth buying are cards under burn value if DEC was at peg that rent decently well or play well with your bot and can be botted, rented or also have enough pp to put on land until dec increases then you can just burn them if there is a gain and you cant sell the cards and that gives you a guaranteed gain at that point and is likely what will happen if dec goes up now ppl will crush it down with burning cards they bought cheap when it was way below peg like now but it could even go further and it has in the past which would make it a good idea to possible wait and see if it drops to all time lows to pick up more then buy things at a huge discount such as packs or just hold dec and wait until it increases which may be one of the best investments in the game or at least safest since if DEC doest go up the rest will likely not either. Also if you had put DEC in the LP you would likely be up a little bc of fees or break even depending where you got in as it provides a nice apr compared to the other pools and is less risky. Once I am able to de risk a bit more I will be reverting to having just market making positions in SPL, my staked SPS as it is now and use that to rent out for dec, also rent out my cards or sell them if they do not rent in which case i would add the dec to the grain lp or the dec usdc lp to earn more fees and use the same tactic as i will be using in games from now on so I do not take on to much risk and also get the items for free or using earnings from the LP. I will only be using earnings from blogging, lps, and other gaming activities such as botting or brawls to expand my collection from now on and purchases will be for rentals only and i will be buying packs to hold and potentially open later but packs are likely to go up in value like rift watchers potentially with its low print and rift packs as well as td packs. Potentially moon karts packs may have a appreciation to them if they are able to attract players as the print is small. I bought 100 packs of moon karts and if they go above there purchase price for me I will likely sell them for a gain or maybe sell them once the game launches and hold a little bit incase they go up but i would rather have the amounts in eth or btc right now or SPL as it is much more stable than the gls and colony side right now. I continue holding my nodes for GLX using them to buy HIVE and sell GLX while hive is low and stock up on HIVE so when it increases I can cash out into HBD for some of it using that to earn additional hive while hive is higher and if it crashes again burn hbd for hive and multiply the hive again and keep doing that. I will also be powering up my hive i get from splinterboost and renting out hive myself at a 10% rate or so as it looks like i can rent it out higher than what im getting from splinerboost and lock in that rate. Splinterboost gives me on average 8-9% in hive disributed daily so no unlock period and depending on price i use it to either hold for a spike or if say dec is down or sps is way down but hive is not i will use it to buy those and wait until they revert then swap back making a gain that way but I am increasing my hive and HBD stake in order to have a more stable thing to buy SPL with as well as build up my passive income with by curating in addition to the delegations to the auto curation trails as I curate the layer two tokens like spt etc and vote to get more of those as they are not delegated to anyone else and i can vote on posts about splinterlands with them. Someone recently was talking about the battle token as well and making that useful again giving out dec for staking it hopefully they do so my battle goes way up in value lol.
Overall using various LPS associated with and not associated with SPL is a good way to fund your gaming as it allows you to buy when SPL income is in the dumps and not get totally sucked down by it as you still have dry powder cash flow that is not impacted giving you more purchasing power each week. I have been waiting to add a few titles and see if i can get them for a low price as they are not worth what they are being sold for in pp terms they need to be a bit lower but ill probably start go for them next reward cycle and only spend half on cards each time and half the glint on titles to see if i can get one or two of the titles for my land for free with my bot that i will be testing to see which cards i can take out and rent instead of leave in the bot if they dont do much as i want to get my bot to be bear bones and rent out the most valuable cards I have without it impacting the bot performance as the bot tends not to use some of the cards for some reason and anything that is not used much will be taken out even if it hurts the performance a little bit if the extra earnings are not really noticeable then i don't need the card. I can probably either rent out or sell half the cards my bot uses and get the same result so I will be trying that so i can still farm reward cards and build up my soulbound deck so i can play in modern with that possibly or keep it in wild and just have all the cards and this time i wont be combining at least a bunch of copies of them so i can unlock some and also focus on the legendries right away in addition to only doing the ultimate chests and only the first run of the prices not any from level 2 as it wastes glint that i can just wait until next time to spend.
