I have been looking forward to writing this post for quite some time now. Actually, just about a month to be more specific.

You see, about a month ago I made the decision to start selling off some of my Splinterlands cards (one of the reasons I put this in the Hive Gaming Community). As I have mentioned before, I have been involved with Splinterlands from the very beginning.

I was playing it the day it was first released and I also participated in the two kick starter campaigns that they have held over the years. During that time, I have managed to amass a large number of cards through rewards or actual purchases.

It wasn't until a month ago I realized that I was mainly using the same cards over and over again. It doesn't always garner me success, but it is enough to get me to the highest tier I can attain and collect my daily quest rewards.

So, I began the process of putting a large number of my cards on the market. All of my dragon splinter... gone. All of my Alpha cards... gone (except for the couple I have rented out). All of my summoners besides the ones I have leveled up... gone. I have effectively dismantled my deck to some of the most basic cards I feel I need.

As the cards started to sell off, I started to amass a pretty decent amount of DEC. In addition to that, I also was lucky enough to win 60,000 DEC as one of my flip rewards from the end of season yesterday.

I know that land sales are coming at some point, so it might have been smart to hold onto that DEC. As I mentioned in this post, there are a lot of cool games coming out and I am not sure how much time beyond the daily quests I am going to be able to dedicate to Splinterlands.

With that in mind, I decided to hit the Hive-Engine market and put my DEC up for sale.


Thanks to the proceeds from that as well as some rewarded HBD that I have been converting over the past month, I am excited to say that I powered up close to 1500 HP today for Hive Power Up Day!

I can hardly believe I have been doing this (in various forms) for close to three years now. It have been a long road, but I have been slowly powering up as much as I can to grow my account to where it is today.

The more I grow, the more I can help others who are trying to grow themselves.

I know that @cryptoandcoffee has said before that he kind of views Hive as a game (another reason why I put this in the Hive Gaming Community). I absolutely agree with him.

As I was grinding through rifts and greater rifts in Diablo III this morning searching for better gear, I was quickly reminded of the parallels between that game and Hive:


The grind is real, the rewards are worth it, and at the end of the day you just need to be having fun


Just like new seasons in Splinterlands or Diablo, when this HPUD day is over, it won't be the time to take it easy. No, it will be time to start preparing for the next HPUD day so we can grow our accounts even larger and spread the wealth to those who are just getting started.

Hopefully one day we will find ourselves at the top of the leaderboard hanging out with the other whales.
