Chipping in on the Splinterlands' event, The Great Burning

10k points because why not

Today, I've gained 10k points in the ongoing The Great Burning official Splinterlands event. I thought I'd get a random bonus instantly, but it turns out it's only going to be distributed when the event is over. That's what I get for not reading the official post related to the event with all the juicy details.

These 10k points only cost me ~3400 DEC. Do you want to participate? Are you late like me? Make sure you read the Splinterlands' dev team post about it here.

Playing Iza in the Market

I've also bought a maxed Iza the Fanged. I figure that I should either buy cards either at 1 BCX or maxed, regardless if I'm going to play them, in case I already do own enough Monsters of that card's Splinter. Which I currently do, for the level that I'm playing at Silver League.

Fortunately, Iza is going up a bit in price since I purchased it, so I put it up for sale for $11.59 after buying it for $8.2. This isn't measly profit, even if it looks like $3 to whales or whoever. I can buy a maxed reward common for $3 and still have the $8.2 I originally used, so it's a free maxed card for just a small couple of transactions.

Small plays in the market like this are much better than just sitting on my recently purchased cards that don't get picked in team selection so often. The original $8.2? I'll probably get them on Hive Dollars savings. There's this new goal of mine - getting 10k Hive Dollars on Savings mode through Hive usage alone - although I'm planning to buy some hive occasionally from stuff I do outside crypto.
