Cleaning up the cities & buying Splinterlands cards with the deposit € Part 7 - December 2023

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!

It's not that I go scouring in trashcans or something like that 😄 I'll just pay a little extra attention in my daily life and during my Move2Earn walks, playing Genopets and @actifit activity tracker. In my country the deposit is €0.15 for smaller bottles and cans and €0.25 for 1.5 liter bottles and up. I think it's a fun way to spend the money I get with the deposits, and while it's only a few cents every month, it's a win-win activity like this.

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 €5.40, you can find my last post here.

This is the seventh month I'm doing this, in total I've bought 2121 BCX so far 🤑

Update December 2023

This is what I found this month:

december
1 small bottles each €0.15 = € 0.15
65 cans each €0.15 = € 9.75
2 big bottle each €0.25 = € 0.50
----------
€ 10.40

This has been the best month by far since I started, and I almost doubled my amount I found last month, it turns out that people throw away a lot of cans on parking stops next to the highway!

proof of my findings:

This month, I bought a total of 236 BCX:

• pelacor conjurer 100
• pelacor bandit 100
• gargoya lion 100
• pelacor mercenary 100

With the remainder of about $6, I'm planning to buy SPS but I'm waiting for the price to drop before I buy, I expect a retest of the 0.023 level sooner or later

Proof of buying:
It's way too much text lines to post them all lol, but you can check my market history here. It's the beauty of blockchain, it's all very transparent!

See you next month on my next post!
