Friday Finance 7/1/2022: The end of an era

avatar

It is time again for another Finance Friday/Friday Finance. This is a series I started where I talk about random bits of financial stuff that I have seen, gathered, or experienced during the week. I hope as a reader you find it informational, entertaining, or both. I also hope it can generate some good discussion and edify the Leo community.

One of these days I am actually going to be around on a Friday and not have to schedule my post ahead of time. One day...

I am off camping again (hard to believe right?) and as such I am actually writing this post on Thursday.

I am going to spare all of you and keep it relatively short this time. We all know that the markets are still down and while development has been taking place on many levels, the news in general just hasn't been that exciting.

Oh wait, HIVE jumped up to $.70 or something like that this past week. Did you miss it?

Splinterlands End of Season

Probably the most exciting thing that happened to me this past week was the fact that it was the end of another Splinterlands season. This could potentially be the last season ever that I get Diamond chests, hence the title of this post.

Based on my deck I made the decision to stay in the Gold tier for the foreseeable future. I think it might give me a better chance of getting more chests and I am hoping at some point that quantity will trump quality. We will see if I am right.

For the sake of comparison and as a historical reference, here are last seasons rewards:

Hmmm, that could be a tough cookie to crack...Only one epic card, but the 4000+ DEC is nothing to be sad about. Okay, I would be happier if the price of DEC were up where it was about a year ago, but I am still not mad about any of these rewards. It might have been cool to see a couple of CL packs in there though.

I guess time will tell if things are going to be more lucrative next season.

Silly FED

In what I find an interesting turn of events, the FED is saying that Americans are saving too much money. They are claiming they are going to need to raise rates to slow the economy down because we are sitting on a combined $815 billion or so in savings.

I'll be honest, I don't know much about any of this. There are many people on LEO smarter than me who do. At this point, it just feels like they are looking for an excuse. My opinion. Just do it. Own up to it and make the moves you are going to make. Don't try to patronize us or justify yourself to us.

I guess on some level it might make sense, but let's take the "spin" out of it and just call a spade a spade.

You know what I mean?

Alright, that's all I've got for this week. I hope you all have an awesome weekend and I hope you got some really sweet rewards from Splinterlands this past season if you play.

Peace!

I'm doing the same on splinterlands. I had a pretty crappy season transitionning to the lower league, but I should pile up the next one. Based on what I saw, it's better playing in a league 1 than in the higher league 3. If a jump has to be made, it should be directly to the higher league 2.
Anyway, the modern format is coming soon we will see how it turns out

Yeah, I don't understand any of that modern format stuff...

In short, they will split ranked play into 2 formats.
Wild, where you can play whatever card you want.
Modern, where you can only play the latest editions (for now: chaos legion, untamed, dice and rewards - alpha and beta are excluded). The Collection Power requirements for the different leagues are also divided by 2.

As I underdtand it, Wild will have better DEC rewards, but Modern allows to play in higher leagues.

Nice rewards, interesting death cards, I will look those up. 4000 Dec is great, but understand what your saying about decs value..
May the next seacon bring you greater rewards.
Do you own land?
When will we win SPS for ranked battles?

Yeah, I have about seven pieces of land coming my way. Probably sometime after the airdrop.

Saving too much money isn't going to solve the issues in the economy. It's a problem with the supply chain and wages not keeping up with prices increases.

Lol what a load of shit from the fed. Too much savings? Kiss my ass! Hopefully that doesn’t mean they are going to try a bail in and steal our savings.

Rough patch for Splinterlands for you man, I feel your pain. The competition has been pretty intense lately for it and it makes getting the rewards difficult when the bots that play all day every day are siphoning all the stuff and we get 2-4 chests per day for focus. Doesn’t add a fun layer that’s for sure..
