Splinterlands Is Making Me ReEvaluate My Crypto Journey
Not a surprise, but the big news today was that SPS was launched and we're only a few hours away from the daily air drops of Splintershards!
In case you have been living under a bridge for the past few months, SPS is the governance token for the @splinterlands game.
Over the past few weeks, excitement has been building up and you can see it from the price of DEC to the value of the cards in your deck...It's been something to behold for sure.
And the way the SPS is launching, the 'pump and dumps' that seem to plague air drops might not even be a concern. If you have not yet taken a few minutes to review their whitepaper, be sure to check it now.
I'm sure you have read every post out there about the launch of SPS so I won't bore you with ANOTHER fanboy / fangirl account of the past 12 hours...
But I want to share with you the 'what if' factor that I'm currently being presented with:
25 cents & What It Means...
Right now, SPS is trading at around 25 cents. And it's been on a few exchanges now for about half a day at the time of this writing.
The big test will be tomorrow when we start getting the first of our daily air drops. What will the price do?
What's so unique about this airdrop that Splinterlands is doing is that you can actually earn MORE SPS by staking and accumulating more assets in the game.
So by selling, you actually could lose a big pay day tomorrow or the next. I think this is brilliant because it'll keep investors involved in the game and looking at buying more in-game assets over time.
Will the price go down? Or up?
Who knows...But...What if....
The Potential Of Making A Living Off Splinterlands
O.k., let me be crystal clear here...I don't think we are there..Yet!
But the entrepreneur in me, can't help but wonder...What if this really takes off?
Apparently the game is growing by leaps and bounds and it hit 1.5 million transactions on the blockchain today alone. So the potential for this to grow even more is there.
And of course, there is this....
(Stats via SplinterCards)
At the current prices, my collection in the game will earn me around 90 bucks a day in SPS air drops...And that's accounting for a few things:
The price stays at 25 cents. Who knows where it may go...
I keep the exact same amount of assets in this game and don't touch a thing...
Which brings me to....
I'm STILL In Accumulation Mode
A few months ago, I started buying up some cards in the game. I really didn't play it, but the idea behind an NFT collectible that has a use case was just too enticing for me to ignore.
It seems to have paid off...Because the price of these cards has sky rocketed. And because of that, I will be getting a healthy little SPS pay day every day for the next year.
But I have NO desire to sit back and relax at all...
In fact I plan on putting a little bit more attention to the game play and community.
I've set up the @jongolson.spt account because I wanted to start creating content specifically for the game. I'm not 100% sure if I'll use it, or just get this account creating content for Splinterlands, but it's an option...And I'm excited to start poking around Splintertalk.io much more!
I'll still be accumulating cards in the game. I think the prices of them might take a hit in the next few weeks as the excitement subsides, but who knows. Regardless, I'm on a mission to build an epic deck :)
I'll actually learn the game LOL I know, this seems obvious but I've been enjoying some great content around the blockchain so far from Splinterlands players and creators and learning a lot!
Daily quests are on my agenda every day now as well!
So yeah...I've caught the bug!
Splinterlands has captured my attention as an entrepreneur as well as a content creator. I believe this community and blockchain are set up for some MASSIVE things and SPS was just the kick I needed to dive in much more.
So I've got a question for you...
What are you most excited for when it comes to Splinterlands and the launch of SPS?
Not yet a player on the game?
You can join here and then let me know if you do...I've got a nice little surprise for ya ;)

Olson way to back those hive games! There is a new hive game out you might like :)
I'm asking you questions about it on Discord man LOL
Hey Jon!
I'm right there with you, having held cards from the original release for years now but recently getting into learning the ropes...
Then, this craze hit and I started talking about Blockchain gaming more on LinkedIn I got enough traction I started wondering if an onboarding campaign and coaching is a angle or monetization path over there
Hey man, great to hear from you!
Oh man, that's got potential for sure. I was talking to a bunch of my Call of Duty friends today and they were all interested in jumping on...They just weren't sure where to start.
Hey, I'd love to connect in Discord or something
https://discord.gg/KFky2qu
That's the CTP discord. I'll be around tomorrow for sure!
Nice, see ya over there
Amazing journey and what is to come is bigger than ever. Splinterlands is more than a game and we are now witnessing and living it!
So true. We need to enjoy this moment right now...Excited for the future but loving the experience currently!
lucky you for having 2 mil points!
I mean, it's a matter of money for the most part. This person threw down a sizable amount of cash.
Not at all. I just used the rewards I was earning from my time here in Hive.
Nice amount of rewards.
Nice amount of rewards.
I'm earning 100 DEC a battle at the moment. I'm not even maximising as I'm not in a Guild.
Check out the rental system, it's relatively easy and cheap to rent out and climb the leagues - you don't need maxed cards until you get into Diamond either.
And go for it with SPT io and posting, SPT was one of my better purchases!
I know what you mean about that daily SPS drop - and they were clever to offer new cards (I think it was) for only those with SPS staked!
I'm watching the price and I'll probably look to pick up a little more going forwards!
Yes the DEC earnings have gone up while the DEC price has also.
Its much harder to win than it used to be but much more rewarding and challenging.
Come join the Crypto Class Action Knights Guild. We are a level 6 Guild looking for new members.
Yeah I feel like a genius now buying a bunch of SPT last month...Crazy!!!
I will be creating content on Splintertalk for sure going forward.
Funny, I was just doing the same analysis myself using my SPS Snapshot in Splinterlands itself. Thanks for the link to the calculator.
I have a similar amount of SPS points to you and am astounded by how much the airdrop will be worth if this SPS pricing holds (and its going up as we speak).
I also made some major card purchases a few weeks ago to improve my win rate and these cards are up 5x in price since I bought them.
I recommend you get into the game itself as it is really interesting and tactical and challenging.
I've had to get used to losing a lot more than I used to but the rewards are much greater.
Yeah man, one of the best decisions I've made in the past few months has been diving into some legendary cards.
And I did it even before knowing about the SPS drop.
We're definitely hooked, man! Well, I've been for a very long time, but this is already another level... I gotta take my mind enough of Splinterlands to publish a post. But I have a feeling it will be about Splinterlands too. :)
LOL It's been...All my content recently and for the near future too LOL

I’m pumped. What an extraordinary way to reward early supporters of the game, and folks who stuck around since the beginning.
This event is attracting a lot of attention which is ultimately great for the Hive ecosystem.
Agreed...People were loyal to them and they were loyal to us
The decision to have staking and to distribute the tokens over an entire year will, I think, reduce the risks of a bubble. Prices have gone up a lot, but it's not like people are going to be able to cash out today when the first airdrop hits. It's only 1/365th of the total airdropped amount.
Yeah I agree...Nothing wrong with taking some profits, but I think the potential big pay day in down the road.
It's crazy and it's only going to keep getting better I think!
More plays, more HODL of DEC and other assets and accumulation as you're going to be collecting SPS over the next year the more you stack your deck etc. so the sooner you keep maxing it most likely the better you will be in the long run. I'm only getting 0.001% of the pool with the huge stake I have in the game which is NUTS I thought I'd be at like 1% lol
Yeah man, this is a huge win for everyone involved.
So glad I took action, even though I was a few years late to the game LOL
Sounds pretty exciting, Jon! To join the game do I need to buy a starter pack? I am logged into it right now. Guess it's time to poke around and learn this.
Yup, starter pack needed :)
Yeah, I thought I remembered something about that. Shouldn't be a problem. Have a great day and safe travels home!😀

I'm astonished that this post or any post talking about Splinterlands success isn't the trending top 1 in Hive. Congrats for that account!, I think that will make you very happy (more than you're now) in the future.
Appreciate it :)
Nice to be right about something every once and a while. I've had some big losses over the past few years lol
I am.most curious where everyone is receiving their tokens. Im not finding it on my mobile at least and i am siked by now!
It's within Splinterlands itself, top menu!
I see it now. Doesn't work on mobile bit does on laptop. Thx!!
Small drop here daily. Coolness!
You have a very nice collection of cards. With those you should be able to advance up the ranks in no time and with each level your ability to earn more increases. I am still learning the basics but hopefully will increase my splinterlands assets a long the way.
Yeah this is just getting better and better...Nice to be right about something after countless loses over the years LOLOLOL
I have no regrets for my SL journey. Only thing is that I can played it more and I have no idea how "alpha" differs from "beta". otherwise I have bought alpha cards.
LOL Yeah, you and me both. I got a ton of Untamed cards and Dice...But that's when I started to understand things lol
I saw this too and came to the same conclusion. Immediately took assets and transferred, COINBASE=BLOCKTRADE=HIVE=SPLINTERLANDS. Seems like it was a good decision after this mornings airdrop since SPS price at the time I am writing is at 0.827!!! My money is doing better here than on the exchange it seems. Might consider moving some more if the trend continues. They are definitely pretty crafty about motivating people to hold onto game assets. Nice write -up!
Yeah I expect a dip but who knows...This crypto stuff is crazy lol
and since today x4 :)
Not a bad return so far...On a token that's being air dropped lol
