For those of you who don't know I started playing and investing into Splinterlands back in Alpha. So yes my opinions and such might be biased based on that. I'm also still 2x -3x over my investment on just cards a lone and most likely 5x if you combine everything total. So while yes the bear market did really hammer us all Splinterlands actully has held up well minus the company choices over the last two years.

That being said let's first jump into season ending rewards and then into my thoughts on things. This was the FIRST season I've been able to actully play again after 6 months+ stuck in bronze losing every battle I played. So it feel crazy good to be back in here playing again and actully doing decently.

Season Ending Rewards

My season was all Bronze but with it we picked up a total of 85 chests which I hope turns out to be something decent. Let's have a look...

We picked up a total of
13 Legendary potions
10 Alchemy potions
141 merits
2.757 SPS (worth about $0.05 lol granted these are bronze chests)
24 total NFT cards

The big ones I'm after at the moment are cards since I have some serious catching up to do in the rewards zone and of course the more SPS the better as every bit helps push me a little faster and closer to that 1 million SPS goal.

Some Thoughts

SPS

Why do I have a goal of 1 million SPS?

It's just honestly a number I picked. 1 Million SPS even at these prices holds some decent value at $17,000 but that SPS also does a number of things. It generates sps itself for a passive style income stream or a way to get my hands on DEC later without any real expense. But it also generates Vouchers which seem like they are going to hold around a $0.15 value at some point as more features are used for vouchers.

Yearly Voucher Card

Personally each year I would like to see vouchers used for a single NFT card like was done before. Where you have to hold SPS and also cash in around 400+ vouchers I believe the rate was 400,000 SPS for a max card of 400 vouchers. To me this provides a little extra incentive for those who are staking SPS and a solid use case for vouchers. If vouchers are selling at even $0.10 a pop a max card of this nature should be worth roughly $40.

LAND 1.5

While it's very disappointing to keep waiting for land I do understand that development in this type of stuff it happens and is actully very common place. Working with a number of start up SaaS companies myself deadlines were always hard to hit if ever and often found errors that would delay things.

That being said you'll never get at 100% so it's important to be very proactive with things and issue out hot fixes or a roll back as fast as possible to minimize any damage that is caused. Eventually this things going to get released and when it does I have a feeling it's going to spark a lot of new interest but also the largest liquidity pool the Hive blockchain has creating a lot of movement.

For me it's a investment bet that the values we see today will increase and activity will increase as well. The amount of fees etc generated from these should also provide a rather passive style of income from the game and there's A LOT that can be done with land after the foundation has been created.

So far at least for me this was a big win for the season. It means I won't be stuck in bronze anymore and I have a very real chance of moving back into Diamond where I once was. Those chests pay out some crazy nice rewards so that's the goal now.
