Good morning Splinterfriends and Hivers...
The dip came. The dip is leaving... Did you buy the dip? I did... I just hope it was the right decision...
As my buddy 
We never really know if we bought the right dip... perhaps it dips MORE... perhaps we shoved too much and we end up on Rekt Plebs... is that still a thing?
So... if you had FIAT... and saw the dip as opportunity... what did you buy? I bought only two things... just TWO!! But they were two VERY EXPENSIVE THINGS...
The first thing I bought was a land I had been eyeing for awhile... I suppose the cat is out of the bag... or perhaps... it's getting out of the bag... so I suppose I should share something with you...
Well... not anymore... but here's the thing... everyone knows that during the Gold Rush... the people who made lots of money... weren't the people who mined Gold... they were the people who sold shovels...
I know, I know... there are no shovels in Splinterlands... right? But what DO we have... of a similar nature???
Grain.
You see... up to this point, Land has been in a very basic state... With Land 1.5 we got quite the boost... but with Land 1.75... and Land 2.0... things are going to change... SIGNIFICANTLY.
In the event that you missed this announcement... or are new, like many... in the very near future, since Cryptomancer has been hard at work... with the next release(s) of Land Updates... there will only be four types of Land capable of producing Grain...
These are: Bog, Lake, Plains & River.
That's it... those are the ONLY lands that will be able to make Grain, going forward...
Interesting... but wait... since LITERALLY EVERYTHING will REQUIRE Grain... what do you think that will do to the PRICE of Grain and Grain Producing Land...
My thoughts exactly...
So... with that being said... I had been eyeballing a certain land for quite some time... when I looked last night... I saw the price had dropped $400!!!! Yes... that's right... one of the last remaining Legendary Plots for sale had dropped from $750 to $350... and I pulled the trigger!
This is what I bought first
What did I do with it though? To ensure I didn't screw things up... I sent it over to be with the other Grain Farms I have... so let's go see how ready I am for the upcoming craziness of Survival Mode: Grain Edition lmaoooooooooooo
How many Grain Producing Plots have I accumulated thus far...?
Accumulated Grain Producing Plots, by Rarity!!!
Common Plots:
3 Common Plots... But they're Magical... I didn't get these on purpose, they're just "extra" from when I got my Keep 😅
Rare Plots:
31 Rare Plots... Not bad - remember Rare Plots give you 10% Production Boost!
Epic Plots:
Oh my... FIFTEEN Epic Plots!! These give you a 40% Boost to your Production!!
Legendary Plots:
Six. Legendary. Grain. Plots...
That's right - as of last nights purchase... I now have SIX Legendary Grain Plots... and they come with a ONE HUNDRED PERCENT bonus to Production!!! Not to mention what happens with Totems/Titles/Runi... you can REALLY crank out the Grain with these guys... and I think that's going to be VERY IMPORTANT... VERY SOON...
Bonus Grain Land - The Keep!
Don't forget - every Keep and Castle earn the "T" word... Yes... Taxes... even at 1% Capacity my Keep has about 10k Grain to collect and this is very helpful in my opinion... and it will become even more helpful as the Grain demand increases!
So if that was purchase number one... what was purchase number two... well I am still in the process of purchase number two... but it is a simple purchase... Hive. Lots of Hive.
How much Hive?? About 50 Litecoin worth...
My only issue now is swapping it over from LTC -> Hive without crashing the LTC market lol
So there ya have it... I bought the dip... in a big way! At least for me... a critical Legendary Grain Plot and roughly $5,000 worth of $Hive!!
Here's hoping that was the right move!!!
That's all I have for you today folks!! Thank you for reading and I would LOVE for you to join me in game!!
