in english :
They are still pitiful, but still better than the rewards for my articles.
Someone who has been networking here for 10 years will end up with a $20+ publication in an hour with their finger in their nose. It costs me a lot of effort and I still wonder if the networking and effort are worth it.
I don't play those games anymore, like I did from the beginning, and I've long since moved into a "monopoly game" mode where I try to manage my game assets as efficiently as possible.
Like a few people here who were lucky enough to be at the beginning and network with the first Hive users, I was also lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time... and with my feet on the ground. I even managed to get a few good executions.
How much Hive games are currently earning me is irrelevant. What's important is that it determines the market phase in which individual GameFi projects are.
When the number of tokens won decreases, opponents get stronger. Competition increases. If the value of tokens and game NFTs decreases, money leaves the ecosystem.
If the consequences are opposite, then the causes are also opposite. It says nothing about the fundamentals, value, potential and risks.
If I were to plan to enter NFT games, it would never be during a period of big rewards and fast returns on investments, which is paradoxically the biggest draw and the best advertising :).
Due to some market timing, I always wrote such an internal assessment of the situation on a piece of paper and lost it after a week.
To be honest, I was quite a mess about it and I didn't attach much importance to changing anything.
But we have time test approval here and I currently hold over 7000 game NFTs and I can apply the time test to most of them. The same goes for some ingame tokens.
If I saw an opportunity elsewhere, I could easily run away, realize a profit, prove the origin and time test and pay minimal tax. But for now, I have other plans.
So there are a few ambiguities - for example, SPS, which are tokens on Hive, will migrate to their own chain in a few days, maybe hours. It will no longer be Hive Layer2. What will happen to the coins migrated in this way?
What if I bought packages four years ago and I open them today? From a technical point of view, the package token is sent to the burn address and minted and forwarded to the sender X NFTs.
In hindsight, I'm finally glad that all my entries here were through the kyc exchange and although almost everything is searchable in blockexplorer, I will occasionally throw such anchors here so that I don't have to search back in time.
Splinterlands
341,763 SPS stake
4,254$ cards value according to marketlow
Daily SPS income:
50SPS staking bonus
78SPS ranked games
210/4 = 52SPS guild brawls
Total 180SPS/day which is at the current price 0.0067$/SPS =>1.2$
I'm playing brawls again on all 3 accounts and my season costs are 6000DEC, which comes out to 0.3$/day.
Net unrealized profit from Splinterlands is currently 0.9$/day. It's not much and it reflects the value of all game assets.
dCrops
160,000 Crop tokens
9,251$ cards value according to marketlow
I already have 7 accounts here and I manage to draw around 7% of the total Croptoken reward pool.
Last season I played 73,515 $Shares and got 31,147 Croptokens. At the current marketlow price of 0.00215Hive/Crop it's 4.46Hive/day
Hive airdrop: 0.5Hive/day
I have no costs, so in total about 5Hive/day which is about $1.65
Soulkeep
55,000SPS stake
Cards value ?? (Deeply below purchase price)
Here I have an account half with a friend and since Christmas we have uploaded 15,000 SPS
Daily it comes out on average 166SPS/day and half of that for me is $0.55/day
Here you can see nice progress, because we were struggling at it from the beginning. We are ranking up, learning the game and in the last month we have 350-550SPS/day. In the first month we didn't even reach 100SPS.
The game also costs us a little. Sometimes we play the 2nd attempt, which costs 256DEC... so about $0.19.
In short
$3.1/day for my about 30min activity. Capital return is nothing, on the other hand I don't get too excited about it. As soon as the capital return starts to rise, it will be reflected in the stock market. And that's what it's all about... why I do it.
For the record, with an asset value of $16,094 and income of $3.1/day, this investment would pay off in about 14 years. So the ROI isn't much. When I joined dCrops, it was about 6 years. When I joined Splinterlands, it was 3 years. But as I wrote... these numbers have nothing to do with the appreciation of NFTs over time. Or depreciation :).
I haven't included a few things in the portfolio value yet that I'm too lazy to look for.
Plots in Splinterlands, unopened packages in dCrops, tradable and non-tradable consumables in dCrops that I farm on multi-accounts, or about 3 million Glints in Splinters that I plan to spend only when they put tradable winnings back in the reward boxes....
