It means that the market value of all the cards I hold add up to that value somehow. To be fair, if I tried to sell all those cards at once, it would crash the market I wouldn't be making a million, maybe only 0.3 million? Hard to say, but I have no plans on selling the cards.
You can make money by renting your cards, and I enjoying playing. I run a top ten guild so I have to stay competitive.
Do you need to spend a million to be competitive, certainly not, just look at my win rate, heh, I get beaten plenty often, by players with much lesser deck values. There are level caps and skill needed, certainly it does help to have a great collection of cards, but it's not everything.
The business model? Just think of Magic the Gathering. They made tons of money selling cards. The Splinterlands team sells cards, and spellbooks, and other things.
I only signed in to the site recently just to claim, whatever, ten bucks or something worth of an air drop. Noticed I have about 22 cards, no idea how they got there. $100 worth maybe? I'm thinking, WTF? But okay.
Don't know where to start. Looked at Peakmonsters thinking maybe I'll rent these things out. Got lost on the site. I think if I had time I'd probably dive in but I feel like I'm too late and it's too expensive. I'm probably wrong but I also can't force myself to like something. Not really kicking myself for not getting involved but I am kind of blown away by all the money flying around. That's pretty cool.
At least I can still do swirly art and nonsensical posts. So there's that at least...
You can play still renting and you don't need much funds for that. It's an entertaining game if you are looking for a game more than for an investment, isn't late to enter imo. Is the best of Splinterlands unlike Axie you can play with a tiny initial investment.
These kind of games aren't really my preference. Can't imagine spending time on it.
I would rent what cards you have using
https://peakmonsters.com/
If you go to 'bulk view', click the top box and then the bottom whilst holding shift it will select all your cards
then click the pile which should have the number of cards you selected
Then Rent
Then LOAD - it should fill out a price for each but you may need to adjust slightly (go a touch lower imo)
Then confirm. All cards will be up for rental and you'll make a few DEC per day :)
Dude. You forgot to say, "This isn't financial advice."
Thanks for looking out. Sounds a bit easier than micromanaging my life away.
Done. This part: "go a touch lower imo"
Was that just you trying to score a deal? LOL!
Now as people are using my cards, does that 'upgrade' them somehow?
nope :)
Of course...
