The spring is here, the green is taking over, everything is growing up - weekly crypto updates Another week is gone, and the things looks bright and the spring is here. Bitcoin and Ethereum are going towards new all time high. What can go wrong? Let's see what is happening lately: Bitcoin miners are doing well lately, with $1.4B earned from block subsidies, and $148M earned from transaction fees. Brokerage company Mogo extended their BTC cashback program, paying up to $3100…

The All-seeing Mushroom and its Mortal Combat - A splinterlands story Another week, another challenge. Ready for it? Why Splinterlands, you may ask? It is easy, free NFT, a huge market, and even some extra crypto to spare on ETH, TRX, HIVE or WAX networks. This is a good card to counteract Alric magic boost on Bronze and Silver, but as you reach Gold and over, there are better cards than this. Anyway, is a good one to use, especially on the rulesets providing extra Armor or…
Daily rewards as April starts, and cherry tree blossomed As for daily rewards, it was a decent week, with average returns in terms of value, and some common-rare-epic reward cards. I do not know what is happening, but the price is growing up quite fast, and my NFT collection is 33% up in value This week I got the following, playing Splinterlands: https://splinterlands.com?ref=mightyrocklee 8 Monster only, but good ones ( Barking Spider x 2, Torilho, Undead Rex, Demented…
Snakes on a plain- share-your-battle-challenge - The Naga Warrior On this week challenge we have a an Epic Alpha/Beta card, from the Earth Splinter. I had enough funds to buy a maxed out Beta one, for around $27, as I was thinking that is quite cheap. As you can see, at level 1 you have Retaliate, quite good when the opponent is playing with a lot of low health cards. At level 4 you have Enrage, raising the damage to 6, and the speed to 5, a real monster. Life is high enough…
To the Moon, Mars, Saturn and other crypto-spheres - weekly Diamond Hands updates Interesting week, with some useless FUD, lots of NFT bullish news and some great ATH achieved by BNB and CAKE. I think I want more KSM and DOT, after this week passed. The week started well, with Tobi Lutke, Spotify CEO, asking what role should his company play to help DEFI community grow, and many famous names answering to him, with some great advice here and there. As we talk about DEFI,…
The Eternal Firestorm of the Naga Wizard - Weekly battle challenge This week challenge is Naga Fire Wizard, and epic Fire Splinter monster with Shield skill at level 1 (reduces Melee and Ranged attack) and Thorns (hit with a Melee attack reflects a part of it back to the attacker). At max level (8) it has an impressive 4 Magic Damage, 1 Armor and 6 Health. To get a level 8 Naga Fire Wizard you need to spend around 25$. The only problem I see is that the Mana cost is quite…
Mining adventures and other kind of felines I will make two articles this weekend, one about mining and masternodes profits, and another about other blockchain networks than ETH, that I tested lately with surprising results (more than 4000% gains, but of course this was partially to dumb luck, as I managed to enter and to exit on the market at exactly the best low/high moment). I am not a rocket scientist, but now and then I was able to get all my technical knowledge…
Wrath of the titans, Coinbase vs Binance and some random ducks - Latest weekly news from crypto Some interesting events this week, with Coinbase IPO live and Doge defying odds, to name just two of them. But what really happened this past week? Let's see. NFTs - WWE will launch a four tier collection of NFTs right before the WrestleMania main event. They are focused on Undertaker, and the highest tier, Platinum, will offer an unique NFT and two front row tickets to…
Splinterlands - Another season ending and my daily struggle against the Magic World The season ended, and I managed some new interesting cards, but not anything extraordinary. Check the video bellow. https://youtu.be/RfYp73sZXEM As for daily rewards, it was a decent week, with above average returns in terms of value, and lots of common-rare-epic reward cards. This week I got the following: 14 Monster cards ( Shadowy Presence, Wave Runner, Chain Spinner x 2, Flame Monkey x 2,…
Why ETH is the big bad wolf, and my other blockchain choices (BCH and other networks comparison) With the actual level of fees, the Ethereum Network is a nightmare, and most of my investments, being a random $400-2000 each, are kind of hostages in there. If I try to move or to withdraw, the gas fees are like 10-50 times more than my measle profit. So, I need other options. What do I do? I start to check and use another blockchains and ecosystems and I will try to go through…
FOMO, FUD and other crypto feelings We are not associating crypto with feelings usually, or do we? It is good to think at us as cold calculated robots, able to deal with numbers, patterns, graphs and other similar things. But this is far from reality. Not only our reasoning and decisions, but most of the crypto-market is heavily influenced by feelings. Just look at what happened two days ago, when some infamous tweet said this and made the market drop 20%: Andrew Fisher…
Next governance token Christmas gift and one the big airdrop on Ampleforth If you remember UNISWAP airdrop, everybody using it got a nice Christmas gift of 2000-8000$ airdroped in UNI (governance token for Uniswap). Now the history is repeating, and man, is like 10-20 thousands dollars in value for many of us. The next one to claim, if you ever use it, is Ampleforth, and the link is https://www.ampleforth.org/governance/claim/. Basically they chose to let all the previous…

Who spit the fire in here or why are you a bad bad dragon? SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge! What is Splinterlands? Splinterlands is a card game, similar with Hearthstone, where you can play battle against other players to get a better rank or in tournaments.

Local crypto exchanges need to be related to local banks to have the real names linked to accounts. Coinbase CEO sold amlost…
Dragons, lands, a rat and big baseball BAT - weekly rewards in Splinterlands This week I was a bit late, working on Monday, so I did not have time for the weekly rewards. Anyway, it is not late right now, so I start writing it. First of all, this week is the FireSpitter on the weekly battle challenge on Splintertalks, best of luck to all posting in there. Then, the land promotion with BAT payments it is still ongoing for a while. Did you get yours? As for daily rewards, it…
Is fast learning a primary need today? Everything around us is changing at unbelievable speed, and us, by us I mean the ones that are not kids anymore, we need to adapt to it. These past lockdowns made us vulnerable in terms of communication, and now we learned about Zoom, Microsoft Teams and other few video-conference apps. But it is not only that. Learning is a life-long process, and we should never stop doing it. But, as we do it, we may want to know that there are ways…
What do you use to store BCH for a little something extra? Me Celsius app for interest.
The fire within - Hive and BCH portfolio weekly updates I decided to make a note every weekend with how many tokens I have for my future holdings into Hive and BCH blockchain.
