Powered up 100 Hive today | My monthly Hive stats and earnings report I guess I missed writing this report last month. I covered some of the details in a different post where I shared my weekly hive goals. But the progress was very good and glad to write this article today. Today is a fresh start for a new month and as usual, I have powered up 100 Hive today. I'm working towards achieving my goal of 25k Hive power. I don't know what I will be doing after that but my goal to…

An epic card today from pack opening. I was lazy to level up before claiming the quest rewards. But I'm glad that I got an epic card in spite of opening only 3 loot chests. #Splinterlands

@bala41288

Muterra Game - Pack opening is live and I opened my first and only pack Muterra is a retro-style RPG game on Hive blockchain with other cross-blockchain support. The assets of the game will primarily be on Hive and will also be available as collectible assets on other blockchains like WAX to start with. As most of you are aware, I'm one of the developers of this game and also a Co-Founder of the game. The last week was very busy for us working on the game development. So far…

My friends don't know anything about Crypto but their investments are seeing over 60% returns A few months back I introduced some of my friends to Hive. Read more about it in this post. After that Hive also saw a downtrend. Today the price of Hive is looking very good and that is why I wanted to review their accounts on Hive. The below screenshot shows a small comparison between the price then and now. It is obvious that if the market pumps, the value will also pump. So I…

@bala41288

As of today, I have reached 2000$ worth of SPS tokens. The last time when I reached 1000$, I was thinking it would take a lot of time to reach 2000$ because the price would drop as the APR goes down. But APR is also looking good and the price is also looking stable. I'm wondering what would be the total value when 365 days are over. #Splinterlands

@bala41288

I woke up today morning and saw this. The hive is now picking up speed. The price is approaching where it is supposed to be. Thanks to splinterlands and whatever made it pump like this. #Hive

@bala41288

Time to enjoy the Hive Pump and take some screenshots | Are you booking profits? Yesterday night when I was off to bed the price of Hive was 69 cents and I told people in the Neoxian City that when I wake up I want to see the price hit 1$. To my surprise, it really happened. When I woke up and checked the price of Hive it was around 77 cents. But then a few minutes back when I checked the price it was already over 1 cent. Yesterday night before going to bed, I placed a sell…

My Hive Goals - Weekly progress report | New CUB goals starting this week This week was a great week for Hive. The price of Hive touched 1$ and stayed there for quite some time giving us all opportunity to book some profits. I'm thinking the party is still now over even though the price has now dropped below 80 cents. Maybe a new base price will be set and the price will soon go above 1$. I'm not sure what caused the pump but it was nice to witness this great event…

Splinterlands - Planning your account's collection upgrade Sometimes we might get confused as to how we should be planning our collection upgrade. Maintaining a proper deck is very important to progress well in the game. If we have unused cards in our deck, we have to find a way to make use of them. In this article, I'm going to be sharing some of the tips I have been following to maintain my deck. This may not be a 100% perfect solution but this is something that worked for…

@bala41288

Bitcoin Cash - 50 percent of my goal reached You would have all seen the goals that I set on Hive. Recently I also started investing in things outside as well. Even though most of my investments are still inside Hive, I wanted to build a good stake in some of the things outside Hive as well. It was long-term due to start posting on Read Cash and Noise cash. Those two are very good platforms to increase our BCH stake. I have been posting there for the last few months and it…

@bala41288

Kanibot is a notification service for discord users. I recently introduced a new feature to send rental market notifications. If someone is renting the card you have placed in the market, you will be getting a notification. This bot has some good features to send you notifications on other Hive and Hive Engine activities as well. Do check it out. https://ecency.com/hive-169321/@kanibot/kanibot-v1-37-0-development #Splinterlands

@bala41288

Are NFTs really worth investing? NFT is still the most popular topic even this year in the crypto world. Many blockchains that did not have the NFT capabilities are coming up with a feature to create and trade NFTs. Even though it is good, I find it a little hard to understand the need for creating a random NFT just because we have two options available. Even more than that I feel awkward when people spend so much money to purchase NFTs as collectible assets. I understand…

@bala41288

NFT is now a new fancy word this year and people are investing so much in that. Every blockchain platform now has some NFT capabilities. I was checking some of the top NFTs in terms of price and was surprised. I wouldn't be investing in any NFTs that are not going to give me anything back. https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/are-nfts-really-worth-investing #Leofinance

@bala41288

Splinterlands - Is it too late to start playing now? I keep getting this question a lot these days. Considering the fact that the game is now not easy and affordable for all the new players, it is still a good opportunity to enter. At least that is what I think. Many people who are on Hive but have ignored Splinterlands so far, have been going around and asking people if it is too late to enter splinterlands and start playing. It is definitely a missed opportunity for many…

Satisfying the global electricity needs without harming the vegetation Our human life is dependent so much on electricity. Especially the recent years had seen a drastic transformation in terms of better technology that demands the consumption of high electricity. Most of the countries in the world are dependent on non-renewable sources of energy. Every year the demand for more electricity only keeps increasing and not decreasing. In order to satisfy the electricity needs,…

Blain Jones is running a contest on Hive and is rewarding people who are able to successfully write articles every day for a minimum of 30 days. As I have been consistent about writing every day, I wanted to participate in this challenge. I've successfully completed 18 days. I still have 12 more days to go to complete the challenge. This is a great motivation I should say. https://blainjones.com/ctpcontent/ #CtpTalk

Splinterlands - 3 cards that can make your water deck powerful After seeing many people share their strategies with the new players, I also wanted to share some of the strategies that I have been using in the game. Water deck is one of my favorite decks to play with. I have been using my water deck more frequently since I got my Gold Foil Legendary Ruler of seas card. Only then I wanted to upgrade my water deck and play with the water deck on most of my battles. In this…

My Hive Goals - Weekly progress report It was again a wonderful week and I think I have progressed well. Something made me feel that after I started setting goals for myself, my progress and growth on this blockchain had been very good. I know there are so many parameters contributing to my growth here but still, it made me think that creating goals added an additional discipline and I progress very well. Setting goals is only for self-assessment and motivation and there is…

Starting fresh in the crypto world with Zero investment The Crypto world is not an easy thing for the common people from the FIAT world to understand. Many people find it a little difficult to get started here. Almost 80% of the people from the FIAT world, first start their journey in the Crypto world by trying to understand what Bitcoin is all about. Even though it is not easy to just understand everything just because the word Bitcoin is very popular, only a few people…

@bala41288

The quest rewards are looking great. I did not expect to see many cards in the quest rewards. It looks like more than 50% chance now to get cards from the loot chests. These new cards are looking great. #Splinterlands

@bala41288

Splinterlands - Lots of renting will happen today Today is the best day for renting out the cards. I have been renting out my whole deck for the past few seasons. I find renting out more profitable than playing. I even shared my rental income after the last season which was over 50k DEC. This season, I'm not expecting the rental income to go anywhere above 30k but I guess it is still very good. Today is the day for rental markets. Today and tomorrow are going to be very busy…

@bala41288

19 more hours to go before the season end. I guess I already made close to 70% of the rental income I got in the last season. I have to plan my rentals better next season. Especially the last few days is crucial. Peakmonsters site is struggling due to heavy usage. Hopefully the main site stays strong tomorrow. #Splinterlands

@bala41288

This is called rental madness. One of my Gold Foil Legendary cards was just rented by someone a few minutes back for 4000 DEC. I wish people rent cards like this not only towards the end of the season but also a few more days. This will make me rich. #Splinterlands

@bala41288

Again some new cards from the quest rewards. I was thinking of closing this season in Diamond III but I wasn't patient enough to wait and open the loot chest for the day after that. There is still a few more hours to go and I have my collection power readily available for reaching Diamond III. So, I'm going to keep trying. #Splinterlands

@bala41288

My monthly HBD interest claiming day On the 15th of every month, I have decided to claim my HBD interest from my account. I started doing this activity from last month onwards. I keep the 1st of every month to invest in Hive in the form of power-up and the 15th of every month to invest in HBD by pushing some HBD to my savings. This will also automatically claim the pending interest as I'm doing a transaction on the savings account. It appears that for around 500 HBD, I'm…

Splinterlands - Season end rewards and rental income from the previous season Another season has passed in splinterlands and it is indeed exciting to check the rewards and loot chests and calculate the overall earnings from last season. I guess the rental markets are still doing very well and with the new rule from splinterlands that every individual should stay on a league level to get the rewards equivalent to that league level, people started renting more to keep their…

@bala41288

Season-end rewards were pretty decent. I got one legendary card and a few epics and rare cards as well. Overall the rental income was also good. Not like last season but still pretty good. Hopefully, this continues for a few more seasons. leofinance.io/@bala41288/splinterlands-season-end-rewards-and-rental-income-from-previous-season #Splinterlands

4 questions to ask ourselves before we think about switching jobs For the past few days, I have been giving some counseling to one of my cousins. He is just getting started with this career and most of the questions he asks me to show how nervous he is and very excited at the same time. I also get questions from some of my friends who plan to switch jobs or roles. I personally have done this assessment to myself and came up with 4 sets of questions that I always ask myself…

Splinterlands - Generating passive income from the game Splinterlands is one of the best games in the Crypto world that has given enough profits to its players. In the last few years the game has evolved so much and today it is one of the top 10 played games in the crypto world. Another proud moment is that it is on Hive blockchain or at least signs transactions through Hive blockchain. There are multiple opportunities on Splinterlands to generate passive income. The first…

Plan your life after financial independence Who would not want to have financial independence? The dream of most people is to attain financial independence and do things they admire the most. But usually what people forget is that they can always keep doing things they like the most and need not wait for one fine day to get financial independence to do what they like. Like all other people, I also admire financial independence and I want to get out of my routine job sooner…

@bala41288

My Hive Goals - Weekly progress report I just realized that yesterday I missed posting my weekly goal update. Doing it today. I guess it shouldn't matter much for just one day. Compared to the last two weeks, I guess the previous week was not very great but I'm sure it was good and definitely not bad. My assets on Hive are growing gradually and last week I was also able to move some funds to HBD as well. The price of Hive is not looking good in the last few days. I'm not…

@bala41288

Best opportunity right now to purchase HBD and hold HBD always creates opportunities when the price is below 95 cents. Usually, we used to have a great fluctuation in HBD price before HF25. The price can go as low as 90 cents and can go as high as 4$ per HBD. It used to be fun trading on HBD. Even today traders who are looking for opportunities to trade on Hive can make use of the HBD fluctuations. Even though it appears to be a stable coin now, the price of HBD is between…

@bala41288

Whenever the market is fully down, it creates an opportunity to trade HBD. If market is red, usually HBD goes below 95 cents. Liquidity can be a problem but if we manage to buy some HBD, we can easily sell them when the market is green again and it goes to 1.3$ per HBD. Quick bucks. leofinance.io/@bala41288/best-opportunity-right-now-to-purchase-hbd-and-hold #Leofinance

Steps to create a new WAX account with your own name selection I was looking for an option to create a WAX account where I can freely use my own selected name. This option is available in some of the blockchains, especially on Hive. I know for a fact that we can create such accounts on EOS but I was not sure about WAX blockchain. The reason was that when I used the cloud wallet to create the account the first time, it asked me to use my social logins or my email address to…

dCrops - Opening 5 packs that I received from referral contest It has been a very long time since I wrote something on dCrops. Today we have lots of opportunities to play games on Hive and most of the games are good Play2Earn games. I can even say how much I have been earning for playing these games. Some games are pretty slow but they have great potential for the future. I think dCrops is one such game that has great potential for the future. We are still very early into…

@bala41288

Today there was an announcement about the CL packs and everybody is in FOMO right now. People are purchasing SPS tokens and pumping the price right now. I have also decided to stake all my SPS for now and wait for the packed sale. Right now I have no idea how many packs I would be buying but there is going to be heavy competition and the Vouchers are also going to be rewarding. Let's wait and see. I'm also nearing 10k SPS. #Splinterlands

@bala41288

A few weeks back I talked about the contest by @blainjones on Hive to write articles consistently for 30 days. I'm happy to share that I have successfully completed the challenge. It would have been okay for me even if it was 3 months challenge or 6 months challenge because I write almost every single day. Now excited to wait till the contest end date to see what I was able to win. :) #Hive

@bala41288

HBD will mostly be my ticket to financial freedom I have been thinking about how I should be handling my assets after my financial freedom but first of all, I was wondering how I should attain my financial freedom. That's going to be a separate article for discussion. However, I guess Hive can be a good choice to hold our assets and keep getting passive income after we reach financial independence. Especially after HBD was made a good stable coin, it gives a good secure…

My Hive Goals - Weekly progress report | SPS is my new goal Last week I was able to do the weekly progress report on Monday only but today I was able to remember and write it. But mostly there was only 4 days gap in between. I'm sure there would have been decent progress in some of my goals. I would like to share the details. We have now started getting rewards in Hive these days because of the printing threshold. This is also a good thing. Instead of converting HBD to power…

@bala41288

I received 3 rare cards from quest rewards today. Getting more than 50% cards itself is great luck and out of that getting 3 rare cards is pretty good. Additionally, I'm also happy about getting a Venari Bonesmith card. It is a new card but I'm glad because I have been using that card lately in my Death monster games and it is very good for a good strategy. I wish I get more of it and upgrade it soon. #Splinterlands

Last weekend I got a chance to take my wife to a nearby restaurant. The place is called Spice Zen where they serve food without onion and garlic. This has become our favorite spot when it comes to having a good dinner. I had been visiting this place for years now and the quality of food is perfect.

Splinterlands - Managing my cards collection Managing the splinterlands collection is very important. Sometimes we might end up not using many cards in our collection. We might have a good collection of cards but there is no use if we are not using it in the game. That is one of the reasons why I spend enough time reviewing my collections. That also gives me the idea to use the cards as well as rent out the cards that I'm not using. I would recommend this to everyone. Most…

@bala41288

Investing - Start early even if it is very small India is a country where people focus more on investments. The main reason is that, unlike other countries, we don't have options where the government will take care of us completely. There are many countries where people don't worry about saving for the future and just spend what they earn on a day-to-day basis. That's because when they stop earning someday, they will still get some basic amenities like food, shelter, and…

Advancing to Diamond league after a very long time. I stopped playing Splinterlands more than a year back. Someone else was playing my account and now after all these new updates, I started playing again and slowly going up the ladder. I'm glad that I received a legendary card today in one of the loot chests. I'm also happy about the new cards we are getting these days. Makes me feel like the old days were fewer portions and more cards. #Splinterlands

@bala41288

Bitcoin is not necessary to get rich, Splinterlands should be enough Today I gave a thought to this. It might look like an exaggeration but I personally feel it is true. Splinterlands have a great potential to make people rich. People from the FIAT world who know only about Bitcoin, usually ask me how my investments are doing in the crypto world. Nobody knows how much I have invested here and how much I have been earning here. The fact is, I don't have any Bitcoin holdings.…

@bala41288

One more day and I will reach 10k SPS stake. I have to think if I should be going for 12k next or just hold the SPS I get as liquid to purchase some CL packs. People have bought a lot of SPS in the last few days to purchase packs. I'm wondering if I will even have the opportunity to purchase packs. #Splinterlands

Rising Star - Using NFTMart first time to purchase Rising Star cards Dapps like NFTMart are a great boon to the Hive ecosystem. My purchase experience was very smooth and especially the cart facility and all the filtering capabilities were very good. This is my first experience with NFTMart. So far to purchase cards I have been using Ocean Wallet which also gave me a good experience from the beginning. Today I wanted to experiment NFTMart. I wouldn't say that I have never…
