Crypto Market Today - Yet Another Day of HIVE Pump and Dump

• BTC rebounded above $30k today
• HIVE got pumped again to 49 cents in low volume and dumped right back to 46 cents

Here is a confession...

Today is one of these days that I feel a bit "off". After summer like weather for days, it snowed today where I am.

On a day like this, I really don't want to do anything - not Splinterlands, not anything, just want to chill and blankly stare at the ceiling or the wall is more enjoyable than doing anything.

#Play2Earn on a day like this is more like moonlighting without the income. Let's face it, SPS in the current market (2.8 cents again) at 50% win rate in Diamond, it is roughly only $1-$2/day. Even minimum wage is over $16/hour!

The habit of getting the games in and not "waste any tokens" sometimes is a bit too much.

Now, I start to reflect and appreciate the simplicity of Bitcoin - stack sats and forget about it.

Next bull market, I am going to exit any #Play2Earn positions, it was fun while it lasted, but I really don't need nor want another job.

I prefer to just be a passive investor, without getting stuck with a daily routine.
