Steem detective is a great tool and I am glad that somebody mentioned this to me. This finally gives me an easy way to get a clear picture of my investments in the steem blockchain!

I know that Steemmonsters is costing me Steem. No doubt about it. But it was time to get some actual and detailed information!

Mixed feelings

I am started to have mixed feeling about steemmonster. I do think that the first hype is over. Prices on the market for cards are dropping! I am getting a shit load of Vampires, Rusty Andriods and Highland Archers. I can't even sell those anymore for $0.01 on the market!
My daily quest yesterday was a nightmare! I started in my quest in Diamond III. It took me 29 battles to win 5 with the Fire splinter. I do know that the fire splinter isn't my best summoner in my deck, but still it is pretty decent!
I also noticed that I am player more and more against the same players! Which also indicates that less and less people are active!

The hard facts and figures!

The Steemmonster discord channel bot, learns me that I have bought 71 Booster packs.
I also bought lot's of cards, trying to improve my collections!

I know that this all was voluntarily! Let me put this clear. I was my decision and only my decision!

Investments | returns

To be honest the amount of Steem which I did spend on it, was much higher than I expected. I just invested a complete minnow in the game! In return I did have lot's of fun!

Guess I better not do a ROI calcultation. And it could have been much worse. Yesterday I dropped the price of my Gold Foil Sacred Unicorn with some much that it finally got sold for a little bit more than 130 steem.
So, I did have a netto investment of 12.72 SBD and 390.231 Steem.

But we also have to see how much my collection is worth according to the market!

This total value represents 552 steem. Which means that if I would be able to sell all my cards I would have a positive investment. But with the situation on the market, nobody is buing lot's of cards anymore I doubt that I would get 552 steem for it!

I don't mind having done this investment. But sometimes one have to take some decision. Sometimes these decision can be hard, sometimes good and sometimes though to take!
Yesterday during my daily quest I did bit the bullet. I am done with investing in Steemmonsters.
I will still play my daily quest but not as frantic as before. I won't try to chase the higher leagues anymore because that only gives me a lot of frustration!

Are you still enjoying the battles. Or do you also have mixed feelings?
Really would like to hear what others do think about this!

Cheers,
Peter
