I've often written about how insatiable I tend to be. I could secure one source of income but still feel the need to have another simply because "you never know". The result of this has been mostly bad, but why would I let a few mistakes stop me?
I think now, however, I'm finally doing something right. I finally resorted to going back to the drawing board and sticking to an extra source of income that has never required too much of my time or focus - Hive. I'm doing a shit job at consistency but I'm still here.
Recently, I thought I could dabble in gaming a bit. I tried to go back to my first love, my first source of wealth and my backbone of some sort. Safe to say I've been disappointed and disgraced out of the system. It's either I no longer have the sauce I once did or the bar has now been set extremely high and my subpar talents can't get me off the ground.
I stopped playing Splinterlands over a year ago due to how hard it had gotten. I don't know why I imagined that it got any easier. I had high hopes on my ability to reemerge but that won't be happening anytime soon - or ever. I've chosen a completely different path now - Investing.
I spoke to my brother and he agreed with my idea. I'm not buying cards with any random earnings I get and renting them out for some passive DEC that will be reinvested into buying more cards. I also learnt that I can rent out my SPS tokens for some more DEC, so I'm doing that also.
I had the hope that I would be able to invest some of my fiat into the system but thanks to our bubbling economy I now have no money to spare on anything other than my survival. I'm trying twice as hard to not fall back on crypto no matter how hard it gets.
Concerning gaming, I've also gone back to playing around with Dcrops. I had the intention of getting back to Rising Star but I've been unable to log in for some reason. Tried reaching out for some help but I couldn't get any.
Unfortunately, none of these games have been as profitable at Splinterlands but I still wouldn't mind the extra cents. I also fancy the fact that they're not as competitive as Splinterlands so I can easily mindlessly earn from them.
Nevertheless, I'm enjoying my comeback a lot more than I thought I would, and for the first time, I feel like my decision to seek something more has not entirely been a failure.
