USD:HIVE: Seven Day Chart

Thoughts:

I haven't looked at the HIVE USD value since my last post titled, Markets are bleeding and there’s blood in the streets are you going to just stand there and bleed.... My thoughts haven't changed much, I still think that a dip isn't a bad thing and they should be expected. Those of us that have been in cryptocurrency for longer than a year or two are likely less worried about such massive downswings compared to those who are just entering this amazing space. Will HIVE bounce back to surpass its past all time USD high price? No-one knows for sure, all we can do is look at the facts and the facts point to the HIVE Blockchain being an amazing place in which is used to build blogs and apps on while users enjoy fee-less transactions. Splinterlands is a perfect example of this and the upcoming projects that are being built on the HIVE Blockchain such as PSYBERX and Ragnarok shows developers are looking to duplicate and potentially surpass that same success Splinterlands managed to capture.

Splinterlands

Looks like those who like to play the Splinterlands game are getting a rework of how the Splinterlands reward system rewards players. Currently the ranked reward system allows players to earn a daily chest that contain rewards and once earned plus claimed (if you are only reward focused) there isn't much incentive to keep playing afterwards. The new reward system will flip that on its head. There is allot to unpack in the new reward system so instead of me trying to go over it all I will leave a link to the official Splinterlands post in which contains all the juicy details. One thing I will mention is that within this change we will see Starter Cards start to reduce potential rewards won. Meaning, for each starter card (non transferable/non rented card) you use in battle your potential reward earned will reduce. For example: If your fielded team is 100% Starter cards you will get 0 Reward Shares when winning a ranked battle. Link: @splinterlands/splinterlands-ranked-rewards-update

Quote From Splinterlands Team:

The most important takeaway from all of this is that these (Reward) changes will allow the amount and value of rewards given out through daily and season loot chests to be significantly increased across all leagues in a sustainable way due to the fact that it will now require real cards (whether owned or rented) to earn them.

The MAN COLD

I been MIA (Missing In Action) from my blog for over a week and the reason being is the dreaded MAN-Cold. It almost kicked my butt but seven days later and bowls and bowls of half eaten chicken noodle soup later I have almost 100% recovered. It wasn't too serious as there was no vomiting but there was plenty of tiredness compiled with loss of appetite/coughing plus migraines. I might have slept more in the past week then I usually do in a full month. I should be back to my regular posting soon so keep your eyes peeled as our MEME Delegation post/ Splinterlands Giveaways and other routine giveaways/contest/posts will be back in full swing in the upcoming days. Oddly enough when I was searching for a funny definition of the Man-Cold I came across an article that claims the MAN-Cold might be a real thing and not just a funny way of making fun of men who can't handle even the little of sniffles. Proof Man-Cold could be real: https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/flu-man-flu-influenza-immune-testosterone-man-sexes-1.4442806
