I also didn't get my investment back, and I mostly cannot remember the amount of money I put in. However all I remember was that I was investing in cards when level one Djinn Oshannus was $39.
As for you. 40k is a ridiculous amount of money and if you had liquidated your assets back then and bought back at this prices, you'd probably be one of the biggest stakeholders in the game.
But I think a lot of us have learned one or two things about last bull run for splinterlands, and are hopefully going to do better in the next run I guess.
You're making the right moves, I just wish I had the cash to buy the cards I want.
That's for sure! And not just with Splinterlands, but also with all other assets too... Regarding Splinterlands, specifically, I think that I would do almost the same thing again... lol... But, maybe would "re-arrange" my cards earlier... That's something that I have done later than I should have... To sell cards that I don't use and buy those that I need...
Btw, I didn't buy those 40K and I have invested much less money, but I did invest a lot of time, for sure...
Yeah, they went up. For me, I think I'll do the same as you, sell off cards I might not be using to buy the ones I actually need. For me, I'll do a lot of things differently, like not buying any assets at the peak of their price and try to take profit when it mattered the most though.
