As I am trying to bring back my activity here on Hive, I noticed an unfamiliar yet appealing offer. It was more than 2 years since I had my hiatus and I know a lot of things happened. It was a mix of work & life struggle, the reason why I went away overall.

As I head back, yesterday I powered up 400 Hive to strengthen my voting power and try maximizing curation rewards. What's even important in my Power-up activity is to make sure I'm a valuable asset bringing not only content value but also trust to the Hive ecosystem. You can see screenshot below of my powered up Hive.

Then when I visited again my wallet. I noticed that the APR when you save your Hive-backed Dollars (HBD) was increased to 20%!. That's so appealing to my eyes because DeFi nowadays can no longer be trusted (imho). What's great is that HBD is a stable coin that stays at $1 unlike other crypto coins that offer luxurious APR. So I put my almost $400 savings to Hive savings via HBD and put it for almost 6 months (I'm expecting it'll earn 10% right, so that puts around almost 40 HBD too). Best thing to do so I can beat inflation. It's been months already since I've been looking for opportunities to maximize my income savings that will help me retain its value over the course of time and finding HBD savings saves the day.

Now as I am waiting for my next savings to come up, I found an amazing gem of opportunity in my feed: Genesis League Soccer* - a card turn based football game that aims to maximize the potential of MLS (Major League Soccer), the professional football league of the United States.

It's still currently under Presale 1 where they plan to sell 500 packs at $5 per pack. Currently 44% of packs have been purchased and I am honestly buying 100 packs. It will still need a few weeks or months to complete the 1st presale and I'm still trying to completely understand the overall specifics of the game. I have read the whitepaper and I'm quite interested - the unpredictability to win the game. There's a lot to consider and it clearly depicts the beauty & complexity football has to offer.

As an avid football fan, it's a perfect opportunity to hit two birds in one stone. Imagine playing your favorite game while you earn crypto + spending more time on Hive. The timing of this game publicity during the bear market also excites me. It is at this moment (where users aren't crowded) is where the believers can stack up tokens.

If you want to know more, you can read its whitepaper. If you want to purchase packs, you can purchase it here. They are currently offering +10% bonus if you purchase 100 packs, +15% bonus if you purchase 500 packs, and 20% bonus if you purchase 2000 packs.

On Visualizing the Future

What I'm doing is a gamble and I'm totally aware of the risk involved in this investment. I truly believe the potential of Hive and so to the founders of Splinterlands. Let's see where this one goes. The bull market taught me a lot, 1.) To early adopt and 2.) To not be too greedy

As of now, I want to enjoy writing again, engage with fellow users, and consume content.
