Milestones After Milestones Reached on Splinterlands

Hi Everyone,

What an exciting week for Splinterlands players. The SPS token and the airdrop sure bought in a load of new faces to the game. The amount of new players joining have been the biggest the game have experienced this week which also saw the prices of our cards and rentals go up the roof. Due to the Untamed packs sold out a few weeks ago, the only packs left are DICE for our new players to buy in game or they can buy packs at places like Hive Engine or Atomic Hub. Other options of course is buy cards on the market which have been a popular choice for those who wants to get serious with our game. The fact that new players can rent cards to try the game without a huge outlay like games on other changes and can start earning at the same time is a game changer for Splinterlands. Just today, we have reached 100 million market cap and the rental market is well over $7000 per day.

Just a month ago, my I celebrated the market cap reaching 25 million thinking that is a great improvement for the game but look at where we are now! 100 million! This in turn for those holding the assets can see their overall worth x3 - x5 in the space for these few weeks. Common cards once worth 2c are now 25c and many legendary cards in the hundreds or thousands. I did say I was a hoarder so with selling little cards over my 3 years on Splinterlands, now I can finally see my investment getting me some healthy returns. I have no intension selling them at all as I need to prepare for the launch of land, you will need these valuable monsters to work on land so the best thing I would do now is to lease some of my cards out.

Leasing is a game changer for the game for new players. They can spend $10-$20 and can rent a nice deck to battle it out each season. As I do have many cards and I don't use all of them, I decided to rent some of them out and get a small amount of income back every day. Thanks to the trusty Peakmonsters site, I can see that I am getting between 1800-2000 DEC a day from rentals. I haven't put many up for rent so I am pretty happy with this amount. From what has happened this week, I can see that rental will be getting popular every day and I can't wait to see more new players renting our cards.

Finally SPS prices have come down since launch but I think the price will slowly creep up once staking is available on 2nd of Aug plus if we have a few more exchanges listing SPS. Remember this airdrop is for 1 years so every asset players hold will let them collect SPS every single day. Most airdrops are only for 1 day, but for 365 days is a unique setup and will definately bring more eyes to this project.
