Wow, you discussed a lot of aspects of the game. I am also planning to buy a plot. Why are you not opening packs? you are planning to sell them or open them later? Liquidity pools are a no-brainer to anyone who reads the white paper. Still not many will participate in pools as the concept of impermanent loss is not easier for all. Since pools are allocated with a supply of sps drops you can enjoy higher apy till masses join pools.
!1UP and good luck with your splinterlands journey. We at cartel will be looking at your rewards if you decided to open packs. Cartel wishes you get GFL.
I don't open packs...? You are right, I don't! Back in the beginning I used to be psyched about opening each Beta pack, but since I stopped playing that excitement went away by the time Chaos Legion came around. Then I decided to take a chance on unopened packs. I still have 33 of them in my inventory. Who knows what cards they may contain? I may still open them later, or sell the unopened packs, but either way not for a while.
As for impermanent loss, I think I'm okay with it. Either I end up with more Splinterlands tokens, or more SWAP.HIVE, both of which is good. And certainly, I think it's just a matter of time (and the number of shilling posts) before the masses enter the pools. By then I'll have my next location scouted out.
Thanx on the GFL, and likewise. BTW, what do you mean you guys at the Cartel will be looking at my rewards if I open my packs? Is there some kind of event we could organize around opening them? I might dedicate a few packs for that if it sounds interesting enough... 😉
!PIZZA
Because of the transparency of blockchain, anyone can see when you open them and what you get. :)
I hope you do.
I appreciate your mentality of seeing finance from this perspective. The only way is UP for you. I hope you join me at the cartel discord someday. Just click the image and it will take you to my home. :)
That much is clear. Question is, does anyone really care? I mean sure, I could write a post about it, and it may even get some upvotes and stuff... but I don't know if there is a way to make something more interesting out of it. A guessing contest maybe, or I don't know. You guys at the Cartel have probably seen way more of what new heights a simple pack opening can be brought to.
Some twitch streamers and opening packs live while they talk about cards and their thoughts. Along with that, they do have twitch giveaways. After that, they upload the same video to 3speakd and get a healthy upvote. If you interact with the audience while opening packs, you will enjoy opening packs more. You can add an element of twist and invite a guest to your stream and you both can talk about splinterlands while opening. There are so many ways you can make card openings interested. I personally like untamed and beta pack opening as they are rare to watch these days. Also, you can calculate the price of cards while opening each card other than who pack opening rate from peakd. Keeping your live stream audience entertained should be your goal! :)
A-ha! You just said it: Beta and Untamed pack openings are rare these days, since they aren't minted any more! That settles it: I'm going to wait until the same thing applies to my 33 unopened Chaos Legion packs. That gives me time to become acquainted with making videos and streams. (You may have noticed, out of my 800+ posts, there is only one where I posted a video.) But certainly, something to look into.
Cheers!
I am glad you got some help through me! See you surfing on hive or in cartel discord. Unless next time. Peace :)
So am I! Appreciate your help. See you around.
