Today I tried to play a practice game on Steem Monsters or Splinterlands. Failed miserably. Maybe it's because I did it on the phone, maybe everything there is so new to me, maybe because I'm not much of a gamer (the last time I played a game on the computer was The Lord of the Rings some 15 years ago).
Nevertheless being a Steemian who cares about the future of this platform, I try to familiarize about as many aspects of it as possible. I try to educate myself every day and learn something new.
It was actually fascinating to read the set up of the game, about Splinterlands, about different Elements, about Summoners, about Monsters and their powers, about Dark Energy Crystals (DEC).
I've seen DEC for quite some time on Steem Engine and today decided it's time for me to get some. Since I didn't find any way to mine them besides trading cards and playing the game, I traded some of my Steem into DEC.
Is it a good investment? Nobody knows. Only time will tell. But it's exciting to be able to get my hands on as many tokens as possible in the Steem ecosystem.
What do you think about Dark Energy Crystals?
