My Fellow Splinterlandians...
Here's another banger from your favorite Peak'd Author... the Master of Mischief... the Prose Professor... CaptainDingus!!
I am proud to write this post today. Not because I have done anything special... but because WE have done something special!
To many, this will be trivial.
To some, it will be silly.
To me... I really don't care what you think, I THINK THIS IS AWESOME!
I'd like to start by first wishing my fellow guildmates a hearty CONGRATULATIONS as we just wrapped up an epic Brawl and what is, in my opinion as well as others... our BEST Brawl to date!
In no particular order, here's a big congratulations to:

Now that our back patting and ass slapping is over... Let's look a little closer at those results...
With that being said... I want to applaud the Guild Splinter Ops and give all its members a HUGE shoutout - this is the CLOSEST Brawl Results I have ever seen!
Thank you for the amazing matches, the great Brawl and Win or Lose, I look forward to the next match with you guys n gals!!
The second part of this post today is something I didn't expect...
I know what you're thinking... "Well Dingus, what DID you expect?" and that's CAPTAIN Dingus...
But... to answer the question on everyone's mind...
I expected:
- To have fun
- To play in Brawls, a different style of battle
- To check out the Gladius Cards and see what they're about
- To plunder a bit more booty every time I snatch a DUB in Ranked Battles
- There's more... but you get the gist...
To fully understand this, let ol' Capn'Dingus tell you fellers a story... have a seat and I'll spin ya a yarn.
Bitcoin and Brews, at the core... started as a group of friends who meet on Tuesdays at a local bar (where I used to bartend).
I got permission to use their Speakeasy, since it was closed on Tuesdays anyway... My goal was to answer the publics questions about Bitcoin and other Cryptos.
Week after week, a few show up, trickle in and out... and I have a few beers.
I do this for free, as my way of helping to onboard new folks who are interested in Crypto... but don't know where to start.
CryptoDollaBill and I have been long time friends and he's been helping me with these meetings for almost a year now!
AirborneGuido and I have also been friends for longer than I remember exactly but he's been coming almost since the beginning :)
One day, DollaBill brings up #Play2Earn and we do a dive into it... He mentions Splinterlands and shows us the site.
I do a deep dive the next day and call him FRANTICALLY asking if we can grab a beer...
- Please note this is HIGHLY unusual for me due to my schedule
We meet and I sound like Charlie from Its Always Sunny when he does the conspiracy thing.
DollaBill agrees and we start really getting in to Splinterlands. This is around September/October of 2021 or so...
AirborneGuido is interested and then becomes REALLY interested after seeing me demo the game a bit on a Tuesday...
From then on, they kept encouraging me to start a guild... I kept dragging my feet and I will admit it was a fairly low priority for me at first - I had (have) a lot going on in my life.
That's why I can't write as much as I was... anyways.
I started the Guild, AirborneGuido helped contribute the original DEC and thus "Bitcoin and Brews" was born...
Shortly after that... I see some "interesting" posts from a friend of ours, Cburnett20 on Facebook and like an RKO outta NOWHERE... He's in the guild BAM!!
Today, I looked over the Guild "About" Page and had to seriously DOUBLE CHECK what I saw... I thought there was an error... There had to be... Right?
As of today... Out of 350,000 Players... Out of 1400 Guilds... Bitcoin & Brews is ranked in the top ONE HUNDRED!!!!
Again... I know that won't mean much o' nothin' to summa y'all...
But that's just so frikkin' cool... 🙌
I'm proud of my friends from our little group...
I'm proud of the new friends we've made...
I'm excited to see what happens next and if we can crack the top 75... Top 50... Top... 10?
Taking down Immortal Gods, Team Possible or Knights United will be no easy feat... But Bitcoin & Brews is DEFINITELY GONNA TRY!!
See you in the TOP FIFTY soon enough
Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed it! Leave a shoutout for the gang below and if you're interested in joining, let me know!
If you're finding this outside of Peak'd and Splinterlands, here's a link to the game, see you in Praetoria!
