Thank You!

2023 was an alright year for me. Things could always be worse or better but hey I'm just grateful for being alive and having great people around me physically and virtually. Today, I want to acknowledge all those that helped and supported me for all of 2023.

I'll start with all my online crypto friends. Firstly, I'd like to thank @aruchard for giving me a lot of advice and mentorship in Crypto. He's also awesome for sponsoring all of New Bot Order's brawls in Splinterlands. He even gave me $200 in ETH as a Christmas gift which I used to mint like 12 bumpies. Aruchard is one of the most awesome people I've met. He's very knowledgeable and he always give his honest opinions without holding anything back. He has even offered me to go live in Maine in one of his side houses which I'm not doing but it's totally cool that he would offer that.

Then I'd like to thank everyone in my Splinterlands guild Forbidden Summoners and New Bot Order guilds. Thank you @certain, @alokkumar121, @ak08, @captainwhoco, @zactian, @treytrillionaire, @izouky, @s0nikkukun, @juniperscarnage, @theawesononso, @isko010, @emmanuel24, @saydie, @masketers because it makes the Splinterlands journey a bit better with some other people that enjoy the game. Thanks for helping out with brawls and performing well. It's also nice to talk to you all about life and other crypto related stuff on discord. Special thanks to alok for any questions about blogging on Hive. He's the number one blogger and vlogger in my guild. Special thanks to Captain for giving me a position as an Assistant game master for Splinterlands Balthazar Scholarship and also for giving me one of the best scholar accounts with almost all gold foil max cards to play. Without him, I don't think I would've gone down the road of Splinterlands.

Some new friends I made towards the end of the year @giotrix and @bobaphet. Thanks for helping with any questions I asked especially towards the land part since it was good info for Aruchard. It was also thanks to them that I got to experience being on a podcast. It was nice chatting with you guys with mattclarke on Splinterlands 101 and hopefully we will have another chance to do that again in 2024.

Ok now focusing more onto blogging here on Hive. Thanks to @fieryfootprints, @mypathtofire, luckyali, terganftp, bruno-kema, prayzz, ablaze, galenkp, alok, saydie, mightpossibly, kstreet and everyone else that always put some time to read my posts and make writing on hive a great experience. Sorry if I missed your name, these are all the names I could think of on the top of my head. I'd also like to thank all the awesome communities that I can write my posts in and that are super supportive like Hive Learners, Weekend Experience, Splinterlands, Gods on Chain, Music, Leofinance, I'd also like to thank all those that do curation such as bdvoter, curangel, ocd and all the other ones out there. Thanks for your hard work.

As for real life, thanks to all my friends and family. My dad is awesome for letting me live with him and believing in what I'm doing with the crypto side of things. My mom and step-dad are always checking in on me and always there ready to help me if I have anything I need help with which I fortunately haven't had to go down that road. Thanks Calvinn for helping me out with BNC things sometimes when I wasn't sure what to do. Thank you to my grandpa for always treating a lot of the family dinners hopefully soon I will be able to do it. Thanks to my cousin Dallas for hanging out with me and watching movies. Thanks to Justin and TK for hanging out sometimes for having some meals outside so I am able to socialize every now and then.

Well I believe that officially closes out my 2023. Thank you all and I'm glad to have you all there for me in 2024 as well. Sorry again if I missed out anybody. Hope you all are ready for this amazing year of 2024.
