I Used SBD Earnings to Buy DPET Tokens

Not a gamer, just trying to raise pets. I am not playing to win, I will be playing to earn.

Note: I am a newbie to this so please be kind...

NFT Play to Earn is on the rise and so I tried to venture into this game called My Defi Pets. I am going to share with you how I bought pets using my Steemit earnings.

But first, let me share something...

Six years ago, I was addicted to only one mobile game - Candy Crush. I couldn't sleep if I am not able to finish a specific level. I would ask friends, relatives, and acquaintances to give me additional lives so that I can continue playing. Any Candy Crush fans here? 

My mother and I had been Candy Crush classmates. But I came to a point where I was already sacrificing my rest, ending up sleeping late and compromising my health. I have never been competitive with games, whenever I get to know some mobile games, I had a feeling that I don't belong to such a group of people who play because I tend to get hooked, it might change my priorities.

So when I was introduced to My Defi Pets, thanks to my brother @jjeeppeerrxx143 and Gio, I thought maybe I should give it a try, this time, I am not just playing to win but I will be playing to earn and that's two different things.

Disclaimer: I am very new to these swapping, buying crypto tokens, although I have been exposed to the crypto world for a while now, I am still new at trading, and the like. I won't be sharing in this article how to connect Metamask to the game, this article assumes, you are already a My Defi Pet player.

Steem Dollars

This is a cryptocurrency reward from socializing in Steemit together with Steem, I have been a member since 2017, I just became inactive in the year 2019 when its price dropped and just returned in early 2021. I had accumulated SBDs and decided to use them to invest in buying DPET tokens. 

1. Buy Steem.
   I have to buy steem because Binance does not have SBD listed yet but Steem is. Go to Steemit Wallet, click on the dropdown arrow and select the Market option. Select Buy Steem, I inputted the amount that I wanted and pressed the buy button. It took a few minutes and the order was completed.

   

   

2. Deposit to Binance. From Binance, I deposited the Steem which took only a few seconds too. I just need to input the username and the memo needed to process the transaction.

   

   

   

   

3. Steem to BTC to BNB. There's no direct option to get Steem amount into BNB so I have to get BTC first. Then I bought BNB.

4. BNB to Trustwallet. From Binance, I have withdrawn the amount in BNB to Trustwallet. I just need to copy my BNB wallet address in Trustwallet and paste it into the withdrawal request in BNB. This took only a few minutes too.

   

   

5. Swap BNB to BNB Smart Chain token. This was my second time swapping tokens. I was guided by my brother during my first time and I am glad that the second time, I did it by myself and it worked well.

   

   

6. BNB Smart Chain to DPET via Pancakeswap. The last step is to swap the BNB Smart Chain token to DPET. During that time, 1 BNB Smart Chain Token is equal to 103.627 DPET.

   

   

From there, I went to the game and it reflected the amount of DPET and I was able to buy more eggs! 

Currently, I have eight pets, 4 Rudolph/s, 1 Adonis, 2 Winged Pupper/s, and 1 Venom. From the amount, I was able to evolve Adonis. I am also at level 20 right now.

That's it. I know it might look like a long process, I am not sure as well if this was the best process, I know Bittrex has listed Steem Dollars but I don't have my Bittrex account verified yet so I just used Binance instead. 

Anybody here who's playing the game as well? Do drop some comments if you have a better way of buying DPET tokens.

Thanks for reading!
