Overlooking!

Stone!

I do not want to be cryptic, but I couldn't help. I think people are seriously overlooking Splinterlands land. It is unfortunate, because there are so many other things that are happening in the game right now, that it is very difficult to keep focus, even for a large holder like me. The reasons are all interconnected.

  • Land 1.75 with new natural resources: Wood, Stone, Iron
  • Research and SPS production needing those new resources
  • Conclave Arcana pack set launch, with new Black Foil card type
  • Mid Night potion, which can only be created on Land, and requiring both Research points and those same natural resources

image (4).jpg

Out of all these the most valuable is Iron in terms of production difficulty. Followed by Stone and Wood.

However, this grain factor plot shows the fair value of each of the natural resources in terms of production difficulty. Notice, that stone is currently trading about 1.8 times its fair value. It doesn't means it is the most highly priced natural resources, but it is most expensive relatively speaking.

image.png

This plot above should help in understanding in terms of raw price which one is most expensive. 1000 iron is 444 DEC, and that is the most expensive natural resources in terms of price. But the reason stone is rallying so much is because there are not enough stone plots active.

image.png

All over Praetoria, people are producing a lot more iron than stone, in terms of natural resources. There are more PP on iron than stone. Plus Aura plots have super boosts, because people want to produce as many potions as possible, as quickly as possible. However, that consumes a lot of resources, including grain.

image.png

This is a curious plot. Not many people are familiar with it. This is the Net Production Plot of the resources. Anything positive here, we are creating a surplus stockpile. Anything negative we are depleting the existing stockpile. We all know that there are a lot of grain stockpile and its price is low. But at Praetoria, we are burning through 14M grain every day and increasing now.

So here is an advice. Prices are going to go up. This is a fact. If you don't have grain, start buying grain now, while it is still cheap.

It is a bummer that I don't produce enough stone. My whole region only have 9 stone plots and they are all common. So I am not going to win that battle. But at least I am stockpiling grain.

There you have it. I just bought another 9M Grain! I am burning through them very fast! A big famine in coming guys, get ready, otherwise there will be very little to feed you monsters!

All plots are from here: https://splinter-lands.streamlit.app/

Do you know what the current Pretoria wide Grain stockpile is ?, It would be interesting to see what collective grain-runway we have at the current 14million a day deficit.

I should be OK for stone when I switch back from my mad dash to catch up on Research to get enough to buy my permit, I've thrown the kitchen sink at Research in the very short term. I suspect may others have too.

We also have the unknown requirements for Wagons to come too. I suspect they may be wood heavy, seems logical, but I'm guessing, ofc, that will just be a temporary demand, but it may swing the needle a bit

At this rate we run out in 1.4 years. My guess is lot sooner as we have more utility. Well before that people will turn off other items to make grain

Lol!, I didn't doubt it for a second :-)

That is not a long time really in the grand scheme of things, I am sure land will be a much more intricate and interwoven beast by then ,with so many things pulling your resources in different directions.

Can't wait. I actually bought another Grain plot this weekend, and there was me thinking I was done buying land. Initially I only intended to get 2 " to dip a toe in", now I have 34..lol!, but I have no where near enough cards or DEC to get them all going yet

I have just one more stone producer than you hehe.., and a lot less lands. Having them in a region other than your main depends on what you want to do with the stone, if you get my meaning.. 😃

Only 9 stone plots in a whole region?? Man, that's bad luck! I have 10 plots in one region, and from those 8 are of stone; still haven't placed them producing, DEC requirements are a pain.

Do agree with you on this land importance part - and I was one that thought land wouldn't mean anything to me! Fortunately the team is proving me wrong.

Yep, that is indeed bad luck. I do have a few more in a different region though, but that doesn't help much due to transportation cost.

I produce a lot of wood and iron through, which I sell to buy stone.

that doesn't help much due to transportation cost.

Yep, I have same problem; all grain producing plots are in 1 region, the iron and stone on the other; and no wood plots. Already considered swapping 1 stone plot for wood one, but given the difference in materials price it's more worth to keep the stone one and just trade stone for wood.

Stone keeps being my favorite! Why don't you set foot into another region all together, where plots of all kind are for sale?

image.png

That negative net production of grain is just sick. I'm producing enough for all my plots (which isn't that hard...), so I'm kind of good.

After the CA release, I might focus on getting better cards for my land again. Or more CA cards, depending on what I get.

I have stone in other region, and I am self-sufficient. Since I have unused plots remaining, 700 of them! I better use them first, before I buy more.

700??? UNUSED??? Are there even enough cards available to potentially start using them? 🤣

That's 35,000,000 DEC to run them at 100%. With 3,500 maxed cards. You alone can sink a huge part of the DEC minted by burning SPS 🤣

I have a few high PP plots that would be producing grain currently producing SPS (including an epic w/ RUNI) because they are occupied. I'm wondering when the tipping point will be, when it becomes more profitable to produce the grain vs. the SPS!

Land is becoming more interesting with every update, can’t wait for something to come along that doesn’t use the same recipe of resources like Research/SPS/Aura, may be wagon repair kits will throw a spanner in the works and just use wood and iron!

I'm definitely not overlooking land, I'm up to 15 plots now but I think only 1 or maybe 2 are stone.
I'll keep an eye out for stone plots coming for sale in the two regions I'm in.

Bringing my plots all online will take a year I think tho 😅

A Wake-Up Call: Accountability and Redemption in the Hive Ecosystem

To those who believe their actions on the Hive blockchain go unnoticed, it’s time to confront the truth. The power you think you wield through downvotes, vote farming, and manipulation is an illusion. True strength lies in doing what’s right, not in exploiting systems for personal gain or silencing others out of fear.


1. The Illusion of Power Through Exploitation

If you’re downvoting critics, running coordinated farms, or hoarding influence to control rewards, ask yourself: What does this say about your character? Manipulating Hive’s reward system doesn’t make you powerful—it exposes vulnerabilities. It shows a reliance on unethical tactics to feel significant in a space that was meant to empower everyone equally.

But here’s the reality: these actions won’t bring lasting satisfaction. At night, when you’re alone with your thoughts, do you truly believe what you’re doing is right? Regret has a way of lingering, and no amount of HIVE tokens can silence the voice inside telling you there’s a better path.


2. The Ripple Effect of Your Actions

Your choices don’t just harm Hive—they affect the people around you. Your online friends may follow along now, but loyalty built on shaky foundations crumbles quickly. And what about your family? Do they understand how much energy you pour into behaviors that ultimately hurt others and yourself?

Every action has consequences, and the deeper you dig, the harder it becomes to climb out. You’re not just harming Hive—you’re pulling those close to you into a cycle of negativity and regret. Is it worth it?


3. Change Before It’s Too Late

The Bilpcoin team isn’t here to attack individuals—we’re here to spark change. We’ve seen the evidence, and we know the impact of manipulative practices. But we also believe in redemption. There’s still time to step back, reflect, and choose a different path.

Ask yourself:

  • What legacy do you want to leave on Hive?
  • How will you feel years from now looking back at how you treated others?
  • Wouldn’t it feel better to contribute positively rather than exploit and divide?

Hive deserves better. So do you.


4. Strength Lies in Doing What’s Right

Real power comes from integrity, not manipulation. Instead of focusing on how many tokens you can farm or how many users you can silence, consider how you can add value to the ecosystem. Create meaningful content, support genuine contributors, and advocate for reforms that benefit everyone—not just a select few.

If you continue down your current path, remember this: you are being watched. Many stay silent, but they see everything. Blockchain data doesn’t lie, and accountability always comes knocking—whether today, tomorrow, or years from now.


5. A Final Plea: Fix What Needs Fixing

It’s never too late to change course. Stop the farming, stop the toxicity, and start contributing to Hive in ways that uplift rather than tear down. If you’re struggling with why you’ve chosen this path, take a moment to reflect. Seek help if needed—there’s no shame in admitting you’ve lost your way.

The Hive community is watching, waiting, and hoping for positive change. Will you rise to the occasion, or will you let regret define your journey? The choice is yours.


From the Bilpcoin Team: We’re committed to helping Hive thrive by exposing the truth and fostering transparency. Let’s work together to build a stronger, fairer ecosystem—one where everyone has a chance to succeed.

What will your next move be?

Addressing the Downvote Issue on Hive: It’s Time for Real Change

Marky Mark Stop the manipulation game Lady Zaza Bpc AI Music

Let’s cut through the noise and address one of the most pressing issues holding Hive back from reaching its full potential: abusive downvotes. The Bipcoin team has consistently exposed the systemic problems that stifle growth on this platform, yet little to no action has been taken. If Hive is to thrive, we must confront these challenges head-on instead of engaging in empty discussions that lead nowhere.

Hive cannot grow if nothing changes. How can new users and smaller creators flourish when they are constantly suppressed by those who exploit the system? Many so-called “whales” contribute nothing meaningful to the ecosystem—instead, they focus solely on farming rewards through manipulative tactics like mass self-voting, spam content, or coordinated downvoting campaigns. These actions discourage genuine participation and erode trust within the community.

Blockchain transactions don’t lie. We’ve seen firsthand the shady methods used to game the system—whether it’s creating alt accounts to amplify votes, orchestrating downvote brigades, or hoarding influence without giving back to the network. Why does this behavior continue unchecked? Talk is cheap. Actions speak louder than words, and until concrete steps are taken to address these abuses, Hive will struggle to move forward.

We have repeatedly presented evidence of these practices, not to divide but to demand accountability. The truth is out there for anyone willing to look at the data. Yet, despite our efforts, the cycle persists. Today, we’re asking again: Can we finally talk about the real issues plaguing Hive? And more importantly, can we take decisive action to protect the integrity of this platform?

Do not let bullies destroy what makes Hive special. Abuse of power through downvotes and manipulation harms everyone—creators, curators, and the community as a whole. It’s time to fight back against these toxic practices and create an environment where all voices can be heard and rewarded fairly.

The Bipcoin team remains committed to exposing the truth and advocating for meaningful change. But we can’t do it alone. Together, let’s push for solutions that ensure Hive becomes a place of opportunity, fairness, and growth—for everyone.

Enough talk. Let’s see action.

Every curation reward from @buildawhale’s bot votes:

  • Steals from creators.
  • Centralizes power.
  • Normalizes abuse.


The blockchain doesn’t forget—your actions are permanently recorded. So, enjoy your scam farm snacks now, because karma always delivers the bill.
