Hi,
Another Splinterlands posts, but today we had an important event in the Splinterlands universe, the Presale of Rebellion is finished.
There were 500000 packs available, including bonus ones. The sale almost hit that mark, actually it was 7335 packs short. This is not a bad thing, on the contrary, there was a need on the market which was closed. Both, the firm and the DAO have gained more than they paid for, and it is a good signal for the future.
Getting those funds was essential for the company. As with the high cost from the past, the whole project was in danger. With the new lean approach, we see a good fast-paced development, and good results, that might have been missed the past 2 years.
A business, as for the company this is a business, is tested in rough times, not during economic booms, where every day seems to be a new party. With the market fluctuations, the ones who manage to adapt and focus on the results, are the winners. This happened with Splinterlands in the past months. I don't say that all issues are overcome, far by that. We have a new oxygen tank, just because of this sale.
From the mistakes from the pasts, it can be learnt, and as I see, the lesson learned is applied. The DAO has a lot of potential, if used wisely. The money in it must not be spent on things that don't make the DAO grow or save the project. Simple as that. Proposals need to be discussed and the final proposal, shall cover a lot of metrics, so that it can be implemented.
Now back to the Rebellion sale. It looks good. We need to thank to the top buyers, as they took the most on their shoulder, even if they will benefit most of it, but this is another story. The action needed to happen now, and they have delivered.
As I'm on a short budget, I could enter with a low 4 digit sum and secure an epic title in the end. That was my aim, to be in the top 250 at start, but managed to arrive in the top 100. It is worth for the future land development, where a lot of assets will be locked and used.
As I love real estate, developing this type in the game, will be fun. I like more budgeting and management games. Hope that land hoping will be available soon, to be able to let my guild mates to work on my unused plots.
Will close this day and the post, underlying the positivity of the sale. It gives hope and it might have been the tipping point, on the right time.
