This is my first blog post on Peakd! I joined Splinterlands back in September, and I'm glad to be here.
I feel like I got here a little late for the party, but I see a lot of people saying it's still early. But it doesn't really matter for me, cause so far I've been having a lot of fun.
As a kid I was never a big fan of TCG games, except for one game. I'm from Brazil and in the 80's there was a TCG game called "Super Trunfo", it was like Top Trumps with cars. I used to love that game, played for a couple of years, and never played any other TCG game again until my son got me into Pokemon about 10 years ago. Now I'm trying to get my teenager son into Splinterlands, no success yet, but I'm not giving up.
I've been loving everything about Splinterlands so far. The game, the cards, the economy, the market, the community. I'm fascinated about this new world. I told my son, that was recently asking me questions about stock markets, that this game could be the perfect introduction for him. I can't see any other way that will be as fun as Splinterlands to learn about how the market economy works, and on top of that, play to earn. He already spends hours playing online games and could be making money!!!
So after getting hooked on it, I decided to invest in it. I'm diversifying my investment. I bought cards to play, I bought cards to rent, and I bought SPS and DEC to hold. I'm playing mostly on silver 1 or gold 3 leagues and I think my favorite splinters are water and fire.
I'm also extremely excited to see the Chaos Legion cards and how it will change the game and the economy. I bought 50 packs on pre-sale, and I'm planning to buy a lot more on general sale. Hopefully it won't sell in seconds and will give me a chance to buy. I'll certainly be online to push the button when it starts.
Hope to meet new people and make new friends in this great community.

Yes I think we are still early for sure! You are already really far if you are playing in Gold already. This is slowly becoming my favorite game of all time for so many reasons. I got my 50 packs too, and am hoping to get more in the general soon. Exciting stuff, can't wait. Thanks for the post.
