Why Bitcoin mining is environmentally terrible Another tool misused "Oh, but electricity--" or "look at other stuff" is the first thing I hear whenever I publish an article about how Bitcoin is doomed. Guys, you are right, there are many other things causing electricity waste. Except Bitcoin mining is different to everything else, or at least this is what I theorize in this post, which relates directly to current events. Unfortunately, I think I'm right more than ever. Most…

What decides a country's minimum wage? The true value of money Back in the old days, the value of a currency was linked to that country's gold reserves. It's still linked to something. Do you know what it is? Who is dictating minimum wage and why? These questions are hard to answer. Heck, most people haven't even wondered about the questions themselves. In case you haven't before reading this article, I'm sure you are tickling with curiosity. The answer is surprisingly…
Upcoming card analysis - What's important about Epona? Why is Epona not the horse? Let's get this straight: Epona is the girl. Anyone who has played Zelda before certainly thinks the horse is going to be Epona when they look at this card. After checking her lore, I found out who Epona really is: basically the entire Zelda franchise. You can associate her with Link, Saria, and even the Ocarina itself. So it's quite the tribute! All you The Legend of Zelda fans will marvel at…
What are the top tier cards of each Splinterlands league? Manual sorting for manual renting After digging through jacekw's latest post about card usage and their win rates, I believe I've successfully sorted the strength of the most generally useful cards in all of the current Splinterlands crypto game meta. The best cards are seen in Tier 1, while very competitive cards get Tier 2. Some champion summoners are grouped in an additional Tier 3.…
Splinterlands' market activity must be exposed It's a huge step-up for the new player experience There are a lot of crypto games in the market right now, but the Splinterlands crypto game is one of the few offering a high-liquidity market. Of course, I mean both DEC and cards. Everyone who has been a player for a while knows whatever card they put up for sale is going to sell very quickly, but newbies are always very scared of not being able to sell their assets.…
Splinterlands' Splintertalk.io also needs exposure Okay, I'm playing Splinterlands, now what? The Splinterlands crypto game has so many aspects to earning. You buy and sell cards as if they were stocks (specially now that you get "daily dividends" from renting them), you brawl it out for SPS and other benefits, get current boosters from the website, get old boosters from hive-engine, combine cards, find cost-efficient strategies, manage lands, group up with card delegations,…
Daily quest potions, anyone? What a steal! 1000 DEC is over 7 dollars right now. It's absurd. Graciously absurd! The time has come for daily quest potions in the Splinterlands crypto game, which are somewhat of a gamble, but how can 5 extra daily chests go wrong when a single demented shark is worth over 0.40 USD? That's one of the tools designed to bring 1000 DEC back down to 1 dollar. https://splinterlands.com/?ref=felipejoys They were a really bad purchase back when 1000…
Holding DEC vs SPS pancake pool comparison Clash of profit titans, with math! Pancakeswap.finance, a DEFI tool that's caught my attention recently. I've finally decided to learn how to use it for one reason alone: there's an SPS pool with 300~400% APR going for two months. That sounds great! It averages over 20% profit a month. So I sold my SPS to get some cake, the token you need in case you want to stake in that SPS pool. https://pancakeswap.finance/ Right now, I've got…
This matters when you want to be wealthy Liquid money x Income Are you not rich yet? You have to know this. In this article, I'll lay down some financial ground rules everyone in the world should follow if they want to become wealthy. Maybe you're rich, but you're struggling to maintain wealth. In that case, reading this might also be in your interest. The foundation of wealth is income, not money itself. You might save up 100,000 USD then buy a house you'll rent for the…
How often should you compound your CAKE pools? The cherry on top When you're just starting to learn about DeFI and you find out how exchanges and liquidity pools like https://pancakeswap.finance/ work, like me, you'll get very excited. It doesn't matter if it's cub, cake or whatever other farm dapp you want to use, their swap system is usually much cheaper than trading and withdrawing from big exchanges like Binance. Let's say I want to withdraw 4 AXS from Binance so I can…
Is a token overpriced? Pancakeswap might let you know Speculation strategy If there's a pool for a token listed on pancakeswap, you can use it as a reference to tell if the market price for that token is under or overvalued right now. Two coins are demonstrating my theory as we speak: SPS and AXS. Splinterlands' SPS has recently served us as a prime example of a coin we can recognize at launch as overpriced. As soon as the first airdrop hit, its pool on…
