Sept 27, 08:02 AM - Uncomfortable situation but keep is option, new thoughts, Splinterlands, dCity and second layer tokens

Perhaps the biggest problem that is affecting the engagement of the Hive ecosystem is that it's all about money, and if there's money involved, there's someone who wants to manage it so that what comes into your own pocket is bigger than ordinary users of the vast community that shelters us, this makes us fearful of following rules created by them.

The rules really exist...
But and to whom does it apply?

I was recently involved in an embarrassing episode for our community, especially for the Brazilian one who has been helping me since the beginning @hive-br, it's about that I offended one of the curators of @splinterlands due to his damn evaluation criteria and lack to support new users who want to get a first impression of what it is actually possible to earn the most income from posting Splinterlands by participating in challenges like: SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge! LIFE SAPPER, Splinterlands Social Media Challenge! e por último Splinterlands Art Contest Week 208!.

It's not just me who has this thought of this curator, since countless complaints only on Discord are made and not directly in posts or something like that, to avoid what happened to me: Being blocked from receiving positive votes from contests through from the official @steemmonsters account and still get the constant risk of being the target of a trail of frags denying your rewards, I particularly prefer to follow the motto of our culture: Revolution, Work and Faith, and if it is necessary that I receive this type of treatment to keep my thinking so so be it, I will still continue creating the posts because after a while they became a hobby instead of something simple with the objective of extracting the most money from the token, it is no wonder that if everyone stops to notice at least 10 posts have been published at any given time, among these 10 only 3 receive the attention of being commented on and actually read, this is only done by people who are really interested in the environment In order to make it a true web 3.0 and no longer a blockchain mining network for your pocket, I would also like to mention the great work on the part of @abh12345 with their engagement tournament through this post: The Hive Engagement League 🏆

This is what we really need and not posts with more than 2000 words about countless ways on how to wipe your own ass, to clarify better so that it is not misinterpreted is that they are creating good content but with inexplicable exaggeration just to complete the quota of words required by some curators or communities themselves while it is something easy and simple to explain and can be summarized in small excerpts.

I got advice from an old user from the pre-Steem days before the crazy guy wanted to buy the net for himself, Not different from what happens now with some whales rowing the tide for themselves in which case the advice referred to avoid being detached from the maximum in the community, whether positive or negative as it draws eyes to you, an example is that some former members receive frags for differences of opinion or disagreement pulling to the side of politics rather than reason.

And then the best thing to do is to delegate your HIVE to get a daily income from those curation programs, or just let it follow some trail with a good value in HIVE, recommending at least 1,000,000 in Hive Power for a monthly return in votes.

I think for the moment it's better to organize a "summary" of my posts from Splinterlands, Games and content in general into one post, saving the little ideas I manage to post on @dbuzz which has become my second favorite dapps for hive content.

So far I've missed almost half of the season in Splinterlands for a compromise that took almost half of my time and I didn't want to try to get my elo up by spending all my ECR to get no reward or little reward at the end of the season, then next season. in 3 days I will go back to the Wild style where I have more experience although this new Modern mode I managed to learn new strategies and mechanics in itself, in addition to meeting new monster cards.

At the moment I'm renting all my collection power, I'm not having such a spontaneous return, I hardly exceed 100 DEC / day, but that's also due to the fact that I rented them all at the lowest possible price and I was even surprised by my collection Golden Chaos Legion to be rented in a short time.
Since I've fully acquired the Chaos common rarity monsters, it's time to move on to the rare monsters onwards, I haven't fully calculated the estimated price for this feat yet, but I can get a base by doing the following:

Price filter	Monster	Price
Low Cost	Portal Spinner	$1,100
High Cost	Xenith Monk	$6,800

With that I can guess a price that I won't spend more than $7 dollars on another monster or less than $1 dollar with exactly 22 monsters available for purchase.
I'm removing the summoning monsters because it doesn't pay to acquire their gold version at this moment, as the focus is to leave them at minimum level 4 for better advantage

My previous investment in dCity ended up being liquidated as I turned all my SIMs I was keeping to get SIMPower and acquiring some change in Hive was not being interesting at all, maybe if I risked more to get to the SIMillionaire club that could change , or simply the price of the token starts to fall more since there is no interest in the game itself to begin with, from the moment that governance is in the hands of just one person yes it is since the mayor who has been winning your candidacy often has some accounts with too high power, merit of it, worse for us who want to start, I just left a few letters knowing that they are not earning me anything since the tax rate is not below 100% and what do you get in daily SIMs depending on getting refund of war fees.

I won't hold too many second tier tokens anymore, I hope to try to keep some that make sense to me:

Token	1 Hive x Token
NEOXAG	388
LEO	9
PIZZA	20

The rest will be converted to SWAPHIVE.
I like the $PIZZA token for the great support that its community provides, I've already spent a few hours talking on Discord with project managers and users who believe in the token, there's a lot of stuff there, from rewards, games, art, music, entertainment and more serious matters that are still a good engagement for both parties, I hope that in the future @hive.pizza will be the project in front of the second layer.
