We had a very eventful year that also feel very stagnant and disappointing in many ways. It is on us to do what we can to make a difference. This is a time to double down on hope and work on making things better. Cryptosphere can use the Christmas fun to onboard more people and expand the network effect we have. We already have few cryptocurrency projects that too big to be banned or overregulated. We should get these numbers up. We should be in those numbers.
A Grungy Christmas
We have few seasonal limited edition Special Cards along with their fun Missions + Crafting each year. This year's Christmas theme is unexpectedly interesting. Rarely people associate Grunge with Christmas. It is good ot make a difference and walk the paths less traveled by the mainstream trend; especially when it is well done.
I decided to buy S117 The Grunge from Market this time. For some Missions, I try my luck with opening Booster Packs. During other times, I simply buy from the secondary market. We have multiple Markets for buying 
The Gift and The Cracker
These prices can fluctuate over time. Keep in mind that all these have low liquidity. Do not expect to instantly sell your Card around the typical listing price. Either you will have to wait a long time or list your Card at a very low price. For the ultra rare Cards, you may have to do both. As you can see, the regular version of the Cards are not "ultra rare". The Animated Cards are the best looking and most rare. Anyone can use 10 regular Cards earned from A Grungy Christmas to Mint 1 Animated Card.
Let Optimism Reign
Copium does not help and neither does being all doom and gloom. We have the technology and a wonderful niche community. We need to expand ourselves and get dollars into cryptosphere. Inflation is coming and "Wall Street" is manipulating markets as much as they can. We cannot expect ourselves to aim for timing accurately. What we can do is look at what is inevitable and be prepared. There is change coming and we can do our part to make it a positive change. The whole word is becoming more and more volatitle.
Volatility is Vitality. Change cannot happen without volatility. Let this Christmas be a time where we can rest and come back to conquer in a very big way. We are long overdue for a parabolic uptrend. We have built; so we shall reap!
