And there it is, my first wristband in the Festival World Tour. Yes, Rising Star has launched yet another feature where the option of expanding the collection of your cards is in. It took me a while collecting my Starpro in the music promoter section to actually have a Starpro for the mission, but there it is. And there is my wristband!

When it comes to collection your cards and what is wisdom on the finance side of it. Sometimes you have to see what suits you best at the moment financially wise. See I bought some Starpro on the market a while back while the price was still reasonable. I didn't buy it market value, but I had set a low bid somewhere along the line. At some point that bid got filled and that was just a decent bid. Lets have a look at the finance:

Starpro has risen tremendously and if you want to buy one now, you either need about 3.8 HIVE for that, or about $1,16 on the market in hive-engine. I find that expensive for one card if I am honest. So I bought Starpro while it was about 1 HIVE, and sold it for 4 HIVE and used that for other stuff. Now another way of getting starpro is through the music promoter missions. With biddings on missions you earn starpro and get that as rewards a day later. The more you put in the pot, the bigger your daily part will be. There is a big difference in what these biddings will cost you. They reset to about 100 starbits per bidding and I have also seen tham at 350 starbits per bidding. What I am saying is that you should choose wisely *when* you bid and not just go bidding for the sake of it.

In the end I used about 6000 or 7000 starbits for this which is somewhere between 2.4 and 2.7 HIVE which is a way better deal than getting starpro on the market currently. Sometimes people have a '*Backstage Pass*' on the market for a lower price as well. I got one for 9000 Starbits a while back for instance, versus now the 15000 on the market.

What I mean to see is that it is rewarding in terms of how you acquire your cards, your starpro and starbits. Ofcourse it helps just doing missions all the time. Heck, I even got another pizza slice which makes me have 5 now so I can will just never run out of pizza and always have the options to play. Waiting is not earning I would say in this case. For 10000 Starbits you have another pizza daily, I don't know why I didn't do this earlier. Currently I am on about 35.000 Starbits daily, which if I would sell these would be 14 HIVE per day, just for doing my mission. Naturally, I just buy cards of them mostly. But taking profits is also something I have learned over the last couple of years. It is not only investing but also taking. So more wristbands on the way from my side, what are you working on in Rising Star?
