Hi everyone! something else to post about today, I live in The Netherlands, and like most country's we have a deposit system for bottles for years already, this has been expanded to smaller bottles and cans this year to prevent people leaving them outside.
I think it's a great plan and will help to prevent litter in the streets and nature, most people will now take the bottles and cans with them or others (like me) will pick them up when we see them, my kids started doing this, and I thought... when they're not around why wouldn't I do it myself, keep track of how much I find every month and buy cards as investment for the future from my favorite game, Splinterlands with!
What Is Splinterlands?
So, for people who don't know, Splinterlands is an online collectible card game using blockchain technology. Every card in the game is owned as a NFT and is traded on the Hive blockchain. It's the digital, modern version of Magic: The Gathering with some extra advantages like it's much easier to rent out cards to other players for profit, join tournaments and Guild Brawls.
Cards are available to buy and sell through the ingame marketplace as well as on third-party online marketplaces like Peakmonsters and Monstermarket. Winners can earn real money in the form of Splinterlands own governance token Splinterlands Shards (SPS), making it a lucrative platform for extremely skilled players with the best cards.
With your card set you battle other players, each card has it's own mana value, strengths and abilities and every battle has another mana cap and different rule set, in the higher leagues up to 3 rulesets combined, so if you can wrap your head around the do's and don't in this particular match better than your opponent does, you'll have an advantage already, making it a highly strategic game.
Last month I made ā¬10.40, you can find my last post here.
This is the seventh month I'm doing this, in total I've bought 2357 BCX so far š¤
Update January 2024
This is what I found this month:
13 small bottles each ā¬0.15 = ā¬ 01.95
92 cans each ā¬0.15 = ā¬ 13.80
0 big bottle each ā¬0.25 = ā¬ 0.00
----------
ā¬ 15.75
Again, I did a better month than last one, and that was already a great month, amazing how easy people throw their garbage on the streets
proof of my findings:
a new year, a new plan! When I started this side hobby, it was just for fun and I didn't think I would be able to find a lot, but by just keeping an eye out on my daily life and because I travel to a lot of different cities on my day job, I'm amazed every month of how much I find and this is the first month I surpassed the 100 cans and bottles in total I found, when my findings go like this, I need to visit the supermarket every other week to empty my bags š
the change of plan is to go completely for SPS from now on, every single can I find is 15 euro cents, at todays SPS price about 5 SPS.
ā¬15.75 is about $17.19 but I need to cover some fees getting the funds to my splinterlands account too, so lets just keep the ā¬ / $ the same.
15.75 / 0.026 (todays SPS price) = 605 SPS š¤
See you next month on my next post!
