As I mentioned in my post the other day, I have been invested in Splinterlands pretty much since day one. Even earlier than that if you count the Kick-Starter.
I am currently the member of a couple of Telegram groups that are focused solely on NFTs and Blockchain based NFT games. Mostly, the stuff we talk about is over on the WAX blockchain, there is a lot of really good stuff going on over there if you haven't taken the time to check it out yet.
However, yesterday, their focus shifted and they started talking about something very near and dear to all of our hearts here on Hive.... Splinterlands.
It seems Splinterlands is the talk of the town right now. In case you missed it, their SPS launch was pretty phenomenal. The value of the game overall has pretty much skyrocketed in the last month or so and they still haven't even launched lands yet!
To be fair, I think some of the people in my Telegram chat used to dabble around with Splinterlands, but over time they lost interest or just gave up on the game for whatever reason. For those of us who have been playing religiously for the past three plus years, we have to kind of just sit back and laugh.
I am sure that is what the developers are doing as well. They had a vision and so far it has come to fruition in spades!
I was actually a bit shocked myself last night when I brought up the PeakMonsters and found that my card collection was in the five figure range. I feel like the last time I looked at it I was sitting in the $2000 range if I was lucky. That is just proof that interest in the game has been rekindled.
Honestly, I am beside myself right now because I just logged in again to find that my card collection has gained another $5000 literally overnight!
How cool is that?
Have you ever had one of those times where you try to tell your friends about your favorite TV show or band? You talk about it all the time, but they just don't seem to get it or be interested in it. Then one day, it's like a light bulb comes on in their head and they finally take a look and they suddenly get it. I mean really get it, and then you just have to sit back and laugh because you have been trying to tell them about it all along.
That is this in a nutshell.
Splinterlands was essentially two years ahead of the whole NFT craze and have had all that time to perfect the model and the road map. If you are the betting sort, you would be out of your mind to ignore those odds.
So from all of us who have been here since the beginning (or close to it) to all of you who are suddenly realizing the awesome potential that Splinterlands has, I will just say this:
