I have been playing Splinterlands since July 2021. I accumulated a few assets but I sold them off little by little. There was also a time I got hacked and all my assets were stolen. It was around October last year when they updated the game that all hive transactions should require a posting key. I felt down that time, and I thought of quitting the game. But then I realized that I should start all over again and accumulate assets.
I played a lot during that time and I sold assets from time to time for my expenses. Then the price of DEC went to an all-time low, and the game is not profitable anymore. I stopped playing for a couple of months and I saw on the Facebook group that some players are doing buy and sell, so I did the same. I bought and sold cards even if the reward is small as long as I gain something. It's not too bad.
Later, the update came. I felt happy that the game is rewarding again. I started playing happily again. Daily focus chest rewards are mediocre most of the time but playing is fun so I continued until I accumulated a few cards. Here are the cards I've accumulated so far.
Common
Rare
Epic
Legendary
Here's also the screenshot of the total value of my assets.
For most players, my collection is nothing but for me, it's already an achievement because I was able to accumulate even I if sold assets, got hacked, and got discouraged for some time.
I'll always keep on grinding and accumulating assets for me to be able to minimize the renting and maximize profits.
