$340+ Passive Income Review | Splinter Stats Season 4 Report Card

Not sure why we reset the season numbers, but I will just go with it.
This season and last I was away on vacation and set my account to rentals. This opened my eyes a bit to the potential of renting for income!

Come follow me while I explain the numbers.

and in case I forget, Thanks for reading!

DEC and SPS continue to be volatile.

Looking at just quantity, I have received an outstanding amount of DEC from renting but was renting instead of Tournaments worth it? since historically, I made MOST of my income from Airdrops and Tournaments. But now with Airdrop being over, I am considering renting full time until the next wave in the game happens (most likely land)

Have we hit bottom and now trending back up??
DEC heading towards peg; sps with more utility. and vouchers having an unknown impact coming up.

Let's Standardize!

Using the historical volumes combined with current USD conversion prices, we can see what each season would look like given the same conversion rates:

One of my best (most profitable) seasons so far. Fueled with both Airdrop and Rental Golem.
with Airdrop being the majority of this seasons income, I am interested to see what comes of next season. Next season (season 5) I am NOT renting as much and there were no more airdrops to claim!

🔥🔥🔥 Next season will be the linchpin on what direction I take going forward (short term).... renting full time or continue to do tournaments.

I want to thank the SplinterStats team for creating the Splinterstats Season Report Card. It is what helps me easily consolidate my seasonal rewards.
