Back in January 2022, I was looking for a web3 game to get into. I was tired of wasting my time on traditional video games. I found Splinterlands, and with just a $10 entry fee to start earning, it was a way easier choice than Axie Infinity. I started building my deck and playing every day. Back then we would have daily challenges and get a chest or two at the end of the day if we completed them. I still remember pulling my first legendary in a chaos legion pack, a Spirit Hoarder. This was actually a great card to have in bronze level. And I still think it is awesome artwork. I think you always have a soft spot in your heart for your first legendary :)
But the real epiphany came after checking my Hive wallet. I had been paid out in Hive and HBD crypto for writing an introduction post on peakD. I then realized that I could change this crypto into SPS and DEC or even buy Splinterlands packs with it. I started blogging more on PeakD and the crypto started to steadily come in.
Here we are, three years later. I'm still blogging on PeakD, and still playing Splinterlands everyday. You may see me as Dtam, part of the Knights of Praetoria Guild. I've built up my deck with earnings from Hive and by playing matches. I'm up to 20.5 thousand matches in modern, all manually played. I love the thrill of the match and the thought process that goes into each game. And I love watching my hard earned cards do their thing.
I'm pretty excited for 2025, but before I look forward to that I want to look at my 2024 Hive recap. Thanks to @hivecreaters, I am able to get a snapshot of my activity from this year on Hive. I am pretty shocked that I completed 188 written posts. I usually can't help but spend the Hive when I get them, but I've started saving up for the Conclave Arcana set that is coming in a few months.
Thanks to @splinterlands , Hive, @peakd , and the wonderful communities that I interacted with here over the course of last year.
Happy New Years to all, and good luck in 2025! I'll see you on the battle field!
That's awesome Dtam, congrats on your achievements and good luck in 2025!
Thanks, and nice tatoos!
Hey thanks!
I appreciate that :)
