Hi, I'm WizarDave

1 year ago I wrote my first post

For 8 months, I tried to add to the chemistry of this platform
- By sharing me.
  - My ideas
  - My views
  - My photography
  - My garden
  - ...
I turned a free account into an account worth a few hundred dollars.
Then the value of Steem took a bit of a tumble...
- I invested a teeny bit
  - At this time I have 436.806 Steem Power worth about $141.
    Still struggling to reach 500 SP (Minnow status...)
  - My vote is worth about 1 penny.

4 months ago, my Steem journey took an abrupt turn.

I discovered #Steemmonsters
- I invested a teeny bit more and started playing a very fun game.
  - At this time my Steemmonsters are worth about $1400 USD.
    If I sold my monsters for Steem, I would get about 5100 Steem
    That's enough to make me a dolphin in that world...

We are 4 days into the new Steemmonster season and here's what I've earned...

180 reward cards valued at $11.59
$2.90 / day.
- If I stopped playing now, I would receive 182 reward cards at the end of the season.
  We can assume they will be valued at about the same.
  - So in 4 days, I've earned about $23 total.

What am I doing?

I have 8 sets of teams that I am playing.
- I play a basic team of all level 1 monsters.
  Right now, it is valued at $13.50.
  Currently ranked at #1226 with this team.
- My best team has level 7 or 8 summoners.
  Only 1 legendary above level 3. (Lord Arianthus, a reward card maxed at level 4)
  This team is valued at around $1000.
  I'm currently ranked #69 with this team.
  Total battles = 5659
  Total wins = 2649
- 1 team has level 5 summoners.
  Valued around $140.
  Ranked 431
- 1 team has level 4 summoners.
  Valued at $55.
  Ranked 607
- The others are low level with a mix of level 1-3 summoners.

So far this season, I've won 57.21% of my games.
All teams doing at least the daily quest...

We interrupt this post

I was just notified, I sold another card.
Let's take a look...

$1.59... 5.47 Steem...
Probably more than I will make on this post... :D

Back to the post...

The reason I shared the numbers above, is so you can see a bit of the dynamics of the game.
Yes, the better deck you have, the more you can earn.

Right now there are daily quests where you can earn up to 20 reward cards.
Average value is 17 cents each.
Some can be worth a few hundred USD.
Then there are end of season rewards where you can earn up to 150 cards.
Seasons are currently 3 weeks...
The top 50 players will also earn $2 booster packs. Sorry, I can't find the info, but I think it may be 10 packs for 25-50 (so I'll work hard to be at least #50) up to maybe 100 packs for #1.
There are also tournaments you can enter.
I've won a few payouts from tourneys...
Of course, the better cards you have, the better you are likely to do in the tourneys.

It used to take about $2500 to have a max deck. It may be higher now with some of the new reward cards and legendary summoners just released...

A contest for those who are actually reading this post...

Don't know Steemmonsters?

Wait... You mean to tell me you don't Steemmonster?

Why??????

In half the time I spent "doing Steem," (4 months vs. 8 months),
I've created something worth 10 times as much. ($1400 USD vs $140),
playing a game that I really enjoy!

🤔

Full disclosure: I probably made 1/2 that by dabbling in the Steemmonster market...

You know, buy low, sell high...
- Always on the lookout for opportunity.
  - For example, as the price of Steem was plummeting, I bought Steemmonster cards as fast as I could get my hands on Steem. They held their value, while Steem didn't.
  - If you play the market correctly, you can earn regardless of what the current value of Steem is...

Conclusion

You notice I didn't comment on the current Steem state of affairs you all probably know about?
I'm investing my time and money in Steemmonsters.
Maybe you should too?

You can get started for as little as $10...
(Paypal, credit or debit cards or your favorite crypto...)
