If you have never heard about Splinterlands, you might hear about Pokemon or Magic the Gathering. It's a digital version of it with fat $ involved. Oh, you never heard about that too? Innocent Soul, splinterlands is related to the latest technology where crazy hivers collect pictures. Those pictures do "boom bang dish dish" with each other, and we earn money for doing this crazy magic. For some weird reason, people rent those pictures from us, and we are making some fat $ for holding them.

A quick summary is, I joined Hive from splinterlands in the bull run. My card collection was once worth 500$ at max which is now 100$+. My first legendary was 25$ which is now 3$.
I still got money in the sense of GLX, dec, and SPS. Till now I hadn't booked any major profits and have hopes to see another bull in splinterlands. While a few hive whales' reasons to be rich are cause they went APE in the earlier days of the alpha sale, my case is different. Since I was a Pokemon card collector just for FUN, my splinterlands cards are no different. I am not sure if I will ever sell or do some major selling. It's like I am crazy and like collecting these days, the little I have I keep as they make me happy. Totally worth every penny so far.
While I want to invest more in splinterlands I passed opportunity towers, lands, etc while I wanted to invest in them. I wasn't much active player too. I just like being a part of splinterlands as a collector. I am not a rich kid to invest ALOT of money from somewhere I am not making too much back. So, I structured my way forward on this journey.
Currently, I am using splex.gg for renting and using my rent money to buy more cards or packs. After this DEC fee update, I was losing big cause my investment strategy was to buy the lowest collection power before I switched it to opening packs. I had a bunch of cards (187) out of my 244 cards collection making a loss for me. Cause I was buying 1 bcx lowest cards and splinterlands introduced 1 dec fee while the rental was 0.1 dec. So, I was renting some cards while making 0.9 dec loss + every time my auto rental account changes the price, it charges 1 dec again. I noticed it recently.
All that was needed to fix this was
GO TO DASHBOARD
GO TO SETTINGS
BAND-AID ENABLE
POST LOWER ENABLE
MANUALLY REMOVE ALL CARDS BELOW 2 DEC ONCE
Now, my 0.1 DEC rental money cards are idle. They are not a burden on my income-generating cards even if that is too little. I am confused about where to go forward from this point as I will only use rental money to buy more, not sell sps and no GLX while I am selling vouchers from time to time. I am also not investing heavily in any NFT or investment token currently.
If you noticed, my lowest buying habit made a mess for me. Now a lot of my collection is not generating rent even after BAND-AID is Enabled. I have a few options like using the same strategy and leveling them up from time to time. Or selling all nonrental cards for me and paying a 5% fee and buying expensive cards. I am on a tight budget for splinterlands and haven't made up my mind yet. ALl I will do is spin things around to generate a better rental rate to move forward from this point while also remaining a passive investment in the game.
That's it! Signing out. See you in the comment section shortly.

Wanna read more? Check out my Hive Intro: Splinterlands Community....
It all started with pokemon physical cards, I loved to play with them but one day I realized I had some people (needy) close to me who lacks joy in their life (especially someone that I can recall because he had no father and only single parent her mother). Time passed but in my heart, I always wanted to do something for others to spread happiness because with sharing my happiness will be multiplied. On Christmas Day, I thought a lot to myself about Santa and started thinking to myself how can I become Santa for others to share happiness, I knew by then Santa doesn't exist thus I wanted to be Santa for others. So, on Christmas day I promised myself I will give away all my toys to needy people in close relatives without hurting their moral values.
