Aside from the Hive being down a bit as is expected when everything is tied to big money and their favourite inbred; bitcoin.
The Splinterlands tokens seem to be holding up quite well. I guess tokens on Hive Engine are at best an amoeba compared to the economics of bigger coins, but I am not so sure.
On one side with crypto being recorded on chains, and for the most part all chains opting for transparency and where it matters you can simply have a +1 or -1 situation. How is it that there is no dashboard that simply shows who is the dick or dicks responsible for any one tokens drop?
I guess the Exchanges make all transactions private... One could say they Fake The eXperience.
Anyway, although that was a rambly intro. Here comes the rambling content.
I am a little on the fence whether to buy GLX, more so since I was looking at it when it was at 3 cents and thinking well why not. So I proceeded to not buy and guess what?
Yeah, it is now at 23 cents; too late in my books.
As for splinterlands I have decided to dump my SPS and some DEC into the liquidity pools, on one hand DEC goes up but SPS goes down, I think it cancels out. On the other I do expect DEC and SPS to go back down which is what LP is for.
Ok, correction. That is what LP is intended for, but the rewards on Hive Engine will take you about 10 years to truly warrant providing liquidity. At best I really do it because I do not have the time to analyze and plan these things all that much.
I do what I think is good in the moment and remain hopeful for tomorrow. Whether that hope is to not wake up, is beside the point.
Anyhow I sold my single Land I had at $210 , got what I figured is a great deal on Summoner and now the plan is; consolidate and buy my land back. Currently selling for $148 that is not bad.
Although, validators are looking very promising, then again; we probably have time.
If no time and it means I should FOMO into all these useful dips then I guess; boowoowoo.
That is why I like Hive but also find it frustrating and almost pointless.
So many opportunities, mainly from how isolated and small we are, yet in many ways it is similar to how if I sell crypto, then I sold and have it no more.
Hive tokens, and communities are similar. Sure we have the benefit of stacking multiple tokens when we post, curate and from the games we play. I think reward wise we have the most stable and consistent games. Highest paying? Maybe not.
Consistent though and you can rely on Hive to for the most part be chill, low but chill. Maybe it gets a bit antsy and spikes but really, I don't think we have broken through that plato yet. So it will always go back from buzzing to a quiet murmur.
In other news
I am now Level 100 in Rising Star so that opens a new 80% mission which is good.
I bought a ton of pizza boxes also to stack all the lucky pizza's I get. I don't really care for the coffee stuff, and really those whiskey bottles are a take or leave it.
I stopped doing the crafting things for a bit but will do guitar ones next since production just gives me the common ones mainly so I can't really be arsed once I have all the 3 and 2 versions of the craft things probably.
Then I think it will be back to just buying packs and possibly when bored with that I will see. I might still just try my hand at selling cards just cause I guess there is a breakpoint where you earn them like peanuts.
Pretty much similar to Splinterlands, on there and probably the new Genesis League game the more you have the more you will be able to dump without really needing to worry about having to get more of any one thing.
I guess I should look for those breaking points more, but I also guess they are so above my level of income that I should really focus more the FOMO I mentioned earlier.
The key is to be happy with whatever choice, whichever token , community, or game you make your center on Hive. Chances are you have time to expand, you won't want to if all you do is lose because you are impatient.
