Nope, not my Steem sp, that is still a few hundred shy of 10000 steempower. I am talking about my Splinterlands accounts. Finally reached a combined value of $10,000!
Seems like a long time ago when I got the Starter pack and started my Steemmonsters journey. Bought and flipped thousands of Alpha/Beta packs. In total, I probably pumped in $1k of fiat and many thousands of Steem/SBD into these packs. But those were the days when you could get a pack with just 2 Steem!
Glad to have made that decision and dumped Steem for Steemmonsters cards before the start of crypto winter. While Steem price continues to plummet over the year, Steemmonsters cards value are appreciating fast!
And last week, as the value of Alpha cards continue rising, my accounts are worth more than $10000 now (according to Peakmonster). This must be the best crypto investment I made since 2 years ago.
The best thing is these accounts are generating more value everyday. While playing on my main deck, it is generating some $3 worth of DEC daily. The 3 delegated herons accounts are doing a combined average of $40 per week. This is largely due to competing in the weekly big tournaments and winning really good prizes by one of the heron player.
I do not yet have a complete set of maxed cards so it is tough competing at the highest level. The biggest regret was missing out on the Legendary summoners when they are still affordable. As Beta packs continue to sell out, getting these cards to maxed will be more difficult and expensive.
I am not cashing out just yet, all earnings are reinvested into the game, buying and trading cards on the market. I still have high hopes for this game and believe Splinterlands will continue to grow.
But that growth might slowed soon. After almost 2 years since launched, Splinterlands still only has less than 1000 active players (I think). Maybe you might say that is a good result for a Blockchain game. But to be mainstream, the game needs much much more players. Let's hope the upcoming mobile app can attract more attention.
