I think it's not easy to stand out on Hive but I believe that a lot of people have the wrong mindset about content creation. They believe that they just need to create a post and get the upvotes. In my opinion this is only half the reality. Every author should invest some of his energy to make his audience feel important.

Ok, I kind of got frustrated with Splinterlands. Last season I finished in Champion 3 and at the beginning of this season I droped into Gold 1. This means that I can hardly collect chests. I collected only one single chest in the last focus... but this chest was kind of interesting ...
24'000 DEC in one single chest!!!
A couple of days ago I've made a video about the new reward system. Basically explaining how it works. After a couple of days of playing, I've figured out some important side effects of this new system.

When I look at my hive blog for the last month, I have to admit that my activity was pretty inconsistent. There are two full weeks without posts at all. It's kind of normal that I don't manage to reach my goals like that.
In spite of that, I manged to power up 500 Hive today...

With the new Splinterlands season came also the new reward system. It took me quite some time to understand how things were working and I believe that the changes introduced are pretty neat.
In the video, I share what I have learned so far :-)

Since the Oneup token was created, I have been curating posts in the context of the Liotes project. I love to do that because I love everything related to blockchain gaming which is what the Oneup tribe is all about.
On one of our Liotes posts, somebody asked what we were thinking about the price evolution of the Oneup token. This inspired me to share my token analysis for Oneup.

Firstly, I would like to apologize to all the delegators to @ctpsb because they received this weeks dividends with a slight delay. I've just sent a batch of 1620 CTP tokens dividends to the delegators. The reason for the delay was football.

The price of Hive has actually quite a big influence on your posts and comments. The lower the hive price, the more chances that your comments and posts won't get a payout...

There is a lot of talk about HBD, Hive backed Dollar, nowadays. It's an algorithmic stablecoin that is actually pretty old and working quite well. Few people know however that there are also Hive backed tokens on Hive-Engine.
Since I run two projects that can be considered as such, I would like to present them and explain why they could represent and interesting asset for the future.

In January 2022 I had a lot of WAX tokens lying around. I had them liquid and didn't really find a way to get a return on them. So I decided to use these WAX tokens to buy Splinterlands packs.
In hindsight this was rather a good decision. Check out the video to learn why...

It seems I'm not able to do this update as regularly as I would like. But finally here it is. The CTP Swarm Booster ranking defines who is supported by the project. It is based upon the activity of authors on ctptalk.com and also upon their stake in CTP tokens.

So far in my „Splinterlands Career“, I have always put economical objectives above gaming targets but after playing the game for more than 3 years, I would like to get better in the game and go closer to the top.
After thinking about it through for several weeks, I have taken an important decision today that should help me to improve my game play. Check the video to know more about it

Since it's possible to get 20% APR for putting HBD in our savings account, a lot of people are talking about HBD at the moment. However, there are other opportunities to get a nice return on HBD. Check the video to learn more about it...

In March 2021, I decided to start to play Risingstar. At that time, I was lucky to profit from the experienced teachings of@ph1102, aka@cryptofiloz. Thanks to him, I managed not to do the traditional errors that noobs make when starting to play Risingstar.
I have been playing Risingstar for 14 months and when I look at the ranking, I'm not so happy about it....

Today I bought one more card of this summoner. This brings the total 114. One more card to be able to merge them into a fully developed one...
I have just read the latest Gold Foil Press by Splinterlands where they present the whole SPS Validator Node License concept in dept. I encourage you to read it because I believe that this can have a huge impact on the tokenomics of SPS and Vouchers.
I have tried to outline my thoughts in the video about where this could lead in the future...

After having powered up only 100 Hive on the first of April, I wanted to increase my HPUD commitments again. Today, I managed to power up 500 Hive. I have collected this through Hive Engine. Mainly from trading and gaming income. Of course it's not the 1000 Hive Power that I staked in December, January and February but I'm still happy with that.

I have been building up my summoners collection quite gradually over time and today I have reached a point where I could merge all the cards together to get a fully developed summoner in several splinters. However, I'm not sure I want to do that...

The CTP token was one of the first tokens that made the blockchain transition from steem to hive. It is therefore even older than this blockchain. It was often a token that was a bit underestimated and ignored by the big players. However, it's still there and doing pretty well.
The owners of the token @jongolson and @blainjoines are doing a great job to add new use cases to the token and I would like to provide an overview here...

The BEE ecosystem is one of the most interesting ones on Hive-engine. It's the native token of the platform with a lot of use cases. Many don't know what they can all do with it. Let me try to give you an overview of everything that you can do with BEE's...

There was a post yesterday about a brand new tipping bot on Hive. You will say: Do we really need one more tipping bot? I would say yes because this one is different from all others...

There is one crucial question that always comes up when I try to present Hive: But where does the money come from? People who are not dealing with crypto, simply can't understand that it's possible to earn money without selling goods or services.

When we go to Istanbul, we tend to visit friends and family but we also try to enjoy the beauties of the city and we do some shopping profiting from the exchange rates that are good for us at the moment. This time around, my wife's sister was invited by her school to a boat trip on the Bosphorus. She was allowed to take some family members with her and she asked us whether we would be interested to join her and her husband on the trip. It's not everyday that you have the chance to do such a trip and we gladly accepted.
It was definitely a very memorable trip... https://peakd.com/pinmapple/@achim03/running-after-a-boat-on-two-continents
After watching one of the recent Splinterlands Town Halls, I realized that SPS will probably be a great thing in the future. I made a video where I show where you can see your own rank in the SPS token richlist and I will explain why I believe that SPS has a great future...

I see the crypto world as a playground where plenty of different concepts are tested out. Every crypto currency and every token is defined by it's tokenomics. Whatever type of „coin production“ we have, it's always kind of the same. There is an initial distribution, often in the form of airdrops or distributions among conceptors of a token. Then there is the distribution process in itself. These parameters will define how the supply of a token over time.

It's the start of a new month and I had taken a very good habit to power up a lot of Hive on each first of the month since December 2021. I started by powering up 1000 Hive every month for 4 months. Then in March, I managed to power up 600 and today... I can only power up 100 Hive.

Have you ever wondered what are the least liked reward cards on Splinterlands?
I made a little ranking :-)

If you look at the chart of the in game token of Splinterlands DEC, you can see that it lost a lot of its value during the last days. I wanted to understand what was the reason for this price decline and did some researching. Of course there isn't only one reason for a market movement but I believe there is a reason behind all this...

Today I stumbled upon a very interesting market constellation. The CTP token on Hive engine had a pretty huge spread today...

Why is Hive not getting the attention it deserves in the Crypto World?
I've reflected on the subject and I believe the problem is not Hive...
