# **My financial independence story - Crypto adventures - 2024 - End of the year 2024 (Saturday Savers edition)**

The plans. I managed to divided into 4 sections, Plan A related to Hive and Leo, where the main focus will be. Than the Plan B, different key numbers for tokens that either drip or pay, mostly Hive, but few others too, if they have a good APR. Plan C following, mostly related to some layer 2 Hive tokens, that I use for curations or gaming, aswell all Splinterlands related stuff, cards upgrades and active land, SPS and SPT. And the last one, Plan D, cryptocurrencies I would like to have outside Hive, containing a little retirement nest, with stablecoins, shares, cash and some other crypto. So, let's start with the numbers:

​

**Plan A - Hive and LEO**

![](https://images.hive.blog/DQmYFCssjPb44YhMJXyQ4zurygUWPBMDRRuDcmTkQkycPVW/100K.png)

**All milestones achieved:**

* **Going to HiveFest 2024 - done.**
* **Hive account 1 - used mainly for Splinterlands related stuff, and curation - 100.000/550.000Hive, 55K target completed, 550k as new target, as I became an Orca in February, with 12 monthly Power-ups - 12/12 and I have enough liquid Hive to do that Sunday.**
* **Hive account 2 - used to write, mostly poetry, with at least one weekly big post about crypto-market, with 2500/2500 Hive achieved and 1200/1200 HBD.**
* **Hive account 3 - experimental account - reached Minnow level with 550 Hive and already got 50/50 HBD. Experiment closed, will do auto-curation following 3 curation trails.**
* **LEO - 35000/35000 and 7/7 LEO Power-ups.**

​

**Plan B - Drip tokens**

**All milestones achieved:**

* **CROP - 20.000/20.000**
* **ARCHON - Reached top 10 Holders**
* **DBOND - 20/20**
* **SIM - 1.000.000/1.000.000**
* **INDEX - 550/550**
* **EDS - 350/350**
* **ALIVE - 10K/10K**
* **DappRadar tokens - 30000/30000**
* **LGN - 150/150**
* **DAB - 10/10**
* **RUG - 10/10**

​

Plan C - Splinterlands and gaming - this one is still work in progress, as the lands were burning money like no others, in order to get full. Investing in cards is also an issue now, with their value contrinuosly going down, and a new collection incoming. I am just accumulatin POB from curation, and maybe next year will reach the desired 10K. Riftwatchers are close to be fully upgraded, but the land has priority, now that I can sell grain for DEC. Rebellion is last on the list, after I deal with the land. I have no interest in Modern for now.

* POB 7534/10.000
* All lands active 75/75 full: No
* Riftwatchers - Upgrades in progress: All rare cards to level 7
* Rebellion - Upgrades in progress: All rare cards to level 5

Milestones achieved:

* SPS 150K/150K
* ZING 50K/50K, then 100K/100K
* BBH 100.000/100.000
* ONEUP 111.111/111.111
* SPT 1.200.000/1.200.000
* WOO 50.000/50.000
* CTP 5000/5000
* AWE 1/1
* Bought 25 wagons for the Conflicts Aidrop
* Riftwatchers - Upgrades done: All common cards to level 10
* Riftwatchers - Upgrades done: All rare cards to level 6
* Rebellion - Upgrades done: All common cards to level 5
* Rebellion - Upgrades done: All rare cards to level 4

​

Plan D - retirement fund I need to work on the shares account increase, and double my cash stash. This will be difficult, but I need to prioritize this over buying more crypto. Cash is king, in the end.

* Shares account 1 - 17.91%
* Shares account 2 - 13.80%

Milestones achieved:

​

* Across Bridge liquidity - ETH - 100%, Stablecoins 100%
* Emergency cash - 100%
* BNB - 1/1
* KCS 2000/2000
* BTC 0.01/0.01

​

Two major targets were achieved, Hive Orca achievement with more than 100K Hive and the liquidity that I wanted to provide on Across Protocol on both ETH and stablecoins.

Next week I will start to create a plan for the next year, and this is quite exciting for me. I have some ideas.

​

All the best,

George

​

What happened in crypto the past 3 weeks? Bitcoin is teasing us with the $100K level. Ethereum shows potential. Lots of ETFs, one more innovative than the previous. Stablecoins are getting interesting. FTX will pay you back in January. The altcoin season is here. What else? Read below:

* Bitcoin: Some fun from the UK, where Craig Wright received a 12-month sentence, suspended for two years, for violating a court order that told him to stop filing lawsuits about being Satoshi Nakamoto. The UK judges are not a joke. As I write, Bitcoin went above $100K, again. And then under $100K, again. The steepest decline in three months, since Trump won the presidential election, had Bitcoin falling more than 7%. BlackRock advocates for 1-2% BTC allocation in traditional portfolios. Amazon's shareholders are pressing the company to allocate Bitcoin as a reserve. Meanwhile, Microsoft shareholders rejected the proposal to add BTC to the company's balance sheet. Metaplanet sees its first operating profit since 2017 thanks to adding Bitcoin as a treasury asset and they even look to raise another $60M to buy more BTC. Cryptocurrency miners are adopting a Bitcoin accumulation strategy similar to that of MicroStrategy. MicroStrategy is set to join the Nasdaq 100 Index along with the software firm Palantir, as Axon, Illumina and Moderna will be removed from the Index. A Texas lawmaker introduced a bill to establish a state-run strategic Bitcoin reserve. MicroStrategy has acquired an additional 21550 BTC for $2.1B and planned to issue additional shares to get funds to buy even more BTC. Marathon Digital bought 40.435 BTC worth $3.9B, making them the second-largest public BTC holder after MicroStrategy, on top of them being the first mining company to hit 50 exahashes per second in mining power. A Russian lawmaker proposed a strategic BTC reserve, similar to the traditional currency reserves. JPMorgan analysts have raised their price targets for several Bitcoin mining firms. VanEck believes that the crypto market will boom in 2025, with Bitcoin potentially reaching $180K. The Bitcoin's ratio against gold has surged to a new high, with one Bitcoin now being able to buy 37.3 ounces of gold. The sport BTC ETFs weekly inflows averaged 1911 BTC while Bitcoin was above $100K, with $680M outflows last Thursday alone, when it dropped under $100K, the largest single-day outflows ever seen. Israel approved 6 BTC mutual funds. Still, the little fish are buying, while the whales are selling, is another crash on its way, so the big players buy all your hard-earned BTC at a discount? All the public miners are loading up on Bitcoin like never before.
* Ethereum: Spot Ethereum ETFs in the US have seen 10 straight days of net positive inflows, the longest streak since their launch. Bitcoin futures in the exchanges saw volumes rise 72%, while ETH futures rose 122% too, both recording new highs. The US regulators are soliciting public comments on the proposed Bitcoin and ETH ETF listing. The SEC did approve two new spot BTC and ETH ETFs from Hashdex and Franklin Templeton. Trump-backed crypto project scoops up to $5M in ETH, with data showing that the project now holds over $50M worth of ETH. Something is happening, as three Wall Street giants just bought half a billion in ETH in two days. Two of them are probably BlackRock and Fidelity. We did have Ethereum crossing the $4000 this month. Ethereum's largest wallets now hold 57% of its total supply, the highest since its 2015 launch.
* Altcoins and stablecoins: We are experiencing a massive surge in altcoins performance. The stablecoins sector has reached a new milestone above the $200B mark market cap and the stablecoin trading activity is on track for a yearly high. A [Lisk airdrop](https://portal.lisk.com/airdrop) is ongoing, with 77 days remaining to climb up the leatherboard (feel free to use my referral 0fRpWD if needed). You can use Velodrome for the daily transactions. I did have some fun with [Intract](https://quest.intract.io/?referralCode=g2g3SD&referralSource=REFERRAL%5FPAGE&referralLink=https%3A%2F%2Fquest.intract.io%2Freferral%3Fallow%3Dtrue), where you do quests for NFT and even win some crypto in contests. I do not know if I was just lucky, but I did get some juicy rewards. Binance and Circle formed a strategic partnership to boost USDC adoption. USDC experienced a 6.7% increase in market capitalization, reaching $42B, the highest level since 2022\. Solana surpassed Ethereum in the total number of new crypto developers. Ripple launched its RLUSD stablecoin on December 17 aiming for a $2 trillion market cap by 2028\. That's 14 times more than the actual Tether market cap. What can go wrong? I got some $200 out of it, so I am happy. Jupiter, Solana's leading decentralized exchange, is set to distribute 700M JUP tokens, worth $4.58B, in January. We have a Solana staking ETP by Bitwise, with 6.48% APY, letting you earn SOL while you sleep. Uniswap's new Ethereum Layer-2 blockchain is set to launch public mainnet in early 2025\. We have a stablecoin - USDtb, by Ethena, 90% backed by BlackRock's massive BUIDL fund. We had some drama with the Hawk Tuah memecoin going from zero to $491M and then back to zero within hours, and twelve investors claim they lost over $151K, taking the creators to court. Talking about jokes, Fartcoin memecoin has become a billion-dollar asset.
* NFTs and blockchain games: Pudgy Penguins launched the native Pengu token through a massive airdrop, with a 50% drop hours after its launch. On [Splinterlands,](https://splinterlands.com/?ref=mightyrocklee) we are getting ready for a new card collection, with some cool summoners that are now auction-only, yet it seems quite expensive. I am a bit disappointed with the PayPal integration on Splinterlands, as I cannot buy Credits with an error saying that the associated information does not match the KYC provided. It can't be helped by the system, apparently. Check my [Holozing ](https://hive.blog/hive-131131/@mightyrocklee/holozing-zingtober-a-monthly-discovery)article to learn about a new blockchain game that looks full of potential. I am also playing [Golemancer ](https://golemoverlord.com/?ref=mightyrocklee)on Hive, and it is quite profitable, I would say, with some great updates lately. Crazy days, the PEPE memecoin jumped over Uniswap in market value.
* Good news: [Kucoin](https://www.kucoin.com/r/af/7xfryf) has a brilliant referral program if you are good at this stuff. Crypto wallet provider Exodus made its debut on NYSE American last Wednesday. [Crypto.com](http://Crypto.com) launched an institutional custody service in the US. Crypto over-the-counter trading volumes surged after Trump's election victory, with more than 220%. Bitwise wants to launch an ETF tracking Bitcoin-rich firms. Starting from January 3, your FTX money is coming back, with the ones having $50K or less being the first to be paid with 118% of their claim value.
* Bad news: Crypto advocates have sent thousands of emails opposing the renomination of the US SEC commissioner Caroline Crenshaw, urging lawmakers to reject the reappointment. Coinbase cleared the way to delist tokenized Bitcoin WBTC, despite Bit Global attempt to stop them over unfair business practices. Coinbase only mentioned the unacceptable risk that control of WBTC would fall into the hands of Justin Sun, known for trying to take control over other blockchains, like Steem for example. Crypto exchange Hyperliquid has seen its largest single-day outflow amid North Korean hacking concerns. There are more and more talks about Operation Choke Point 2.0, as regulators contributed to Silvergate Bank's collapse, just because they provided banking services for many big crypto players, including FTX. Coinbase released redacted letters from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), supporting the claims of a coordinated effort by regulators to limit crypto firms' access to banking services. Some predicted a massive crypto dump on Trump's first day as president. Remember the date, January 20, 2025\. HEX founder on Interpol's Most Wanted list, for all the wrong reasons, such as tax fraud and assault against a minor. And some of the worst hacks of 2024 were DMM, losing 4500 BTC, WazirX, losing $235M, and exchanges such as BingX, Indodax and Radiant Capital with $43M, $22M and $50M.
* Joke of the week: This clown's world is just a global circus. El Salvador's BTC investments have made $300M in unrealized gains, as the country now has over $600M worth of Bitcoin. In the next 2-3 weeks, El Salvador is expected to reach an agreement with the International Monetary Fund, on a $1.3B loan program, contingent on some changes. The proposed agreement, which requires approval from the IMF board, wants El Salvador to drop legal requirements for businesses to accept BTC as payment, making it entirely voluntary, to reduce the budget deficit by 3.5% over three years, pass an anti-corruption law and increase reserves from $11B to $15B. Funny idea, nobody said what reserves, they can get more BTC, right? Just imagine that, to use the loan from the IMF to buy more crypto!

​

All the best, George

# **Glint season number 14, what did I buy?**

Almost 15K Glint to claim, this is good for me. Talking about the mysteries of life.

I started with one Epic:

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmeY9M2yWHB8Gtw2pADWT5bmAfRazRrZ3pSbPqpipRCVhg/image.png)

Then a few Rare:

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmNgzVbCJqwCgXLkXkYFuMPMz1sFhrBpYk23LA3BJgtoS6/image.png)

Tried my luck with 20 chests for 4K Glint, and got 4 Rare and 6 Common worth 3900Glint, plus some potions and Merits:

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmPkFwbKCoov5SX4YEAYfBkY7W5CSypZ5brapjRm1ytpmy/image.png)

Twenty Common cards, no Gold this time:

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmSZsqrZErzvV2foEixQhbXcYLReiSQs5M84esYGic74aC/image.png)

And to end it nicely, enough Merits to buy 2 Gladiator packs. One Epic and 2 Rare, good enough!

# **Heruvim1978's Cryptocurrency Income Report - December 2024**

I am trying to sell some projects where I have small amounts of crypto, as it is too much trouble to check them all, and I will focus on the few 2-3 that are the best. The rule of 80/20, where 20% of the work is bringing 80% of the profit. I am going for that 20% only, ignoring anything else. Got a plan for the rest of the year to buy more HBD and Hive, more liquidity on [ACROSS](https://www.publish0x.com/across.to?ref=0xB018AC399491B9320A456ad0e696D2032b6bADD3) protocol and all the available Gem events on [Kucoin](https://www.kucoin.com/ucenter/signup?rcode=7xfryf), as they brought some huge profits for me in the past 12 months (you need KCS tokens to participate on these events, there are 5-6 of them every month). My brother came to show me how to use my [Gnosis ](https://gnosispay.com/nonoginvite?rcc=52ad81b2b7db&utm%5Fsource=referral&utm%5Fcampaign=cm3st9o2400ike1o6gnrm7ntv)card. It is a bit complicated, but for what I understand I can set up some crypto in a wallet or deposit and a minimum amount on the card, like £100, and everytime the value goes bellow, automatically the card will change and add the crypto to my card as money. I even went to the shop and bought a drink to check if it is working (yes, it is). 

**Blogging/writing/video**

[Publish0x](https://www.publish0x.com/?a=y5eVGmvaEP) \- $2.65 in OP and ETH this month. Plus 40 USDC from the Across writing contest.

[Hive blog](https://peakd.com/register?ref=mightyrocklee) and Hive portfolio and layer2 blogs ([Leofinance](https://www.publish0x.com/editPost/leofinance.io), SPT, UTOPIS, LENM, LBI, BRO, POB, DHEDGE, ARCHONM) - I got 233.65$ in HIVE and HBD. 

**TOTAL - $276.30 (gained HIVE Layer 2 tokens not included)**

**Play2Earn - blockchain games**

[Splinterlands](https://splinterlands.com/?ref=mightyrocklee) main account - $43.60 from all sources: SPS Airdrop (finished now), DEC, CREDITS and Vouchers, (paid by the licence node), from playing games too. 

[Axie Infinity](https://axieinfinity.com/) \- 19 RON and 0 AXS - $37

[Risingstar,](https://www.risingstargame.com/?referrer=heruvim1978) [Golem Overlord ](https://go.splex.gg/?ref=mightyrocklee)and other Hive games - STARBITS and Golem native tokens sold - 40 Hive - $15.24

[Wombat Dungeon Master](https://dungeon.wombat.app/wombat/Heruvim78) \- NFT staking game - 0WOMBAT - $0

**TOTAL - $95.84**

**Staking/Lending/Masternodes**

BSC blockchain - 0 Cake ($1.50) on PancakeSwap and [Mobox.io](http://Mobox.io) (BSC) pools - $8.75 MBOX for now = $10.25

[Kucoin](https://www.kucoin.com/ucenter/signup?rcode=7xfryf) \- Interest KCS and monthly rewards on Gems - $347

[Binance](https://www.binance.com/en/register?ref=RV0E5ZSK) \- $0 this month, as most of its events are now not available in UK.

[Crypto.com](http://Crypto.com) \- 25 CRO - $3.63

Maiar ([Elrond staking](https://www.publish0x.com/xport.al/referral/464iut2o7n)) - sold 99% and stopped - 1 EGLD left on staking with 9% APR and no impermanent loss involved, mostly bought. They just launched a new improved [all-in-one app](https://www.publish0x.com/xport.al/referral/464iut2o7n). Check it out. - $0.14

[ACROSS](https://www.publish0x.com/across.to?ref=0xB018AC399491B9320A456ad0e696D2032b6bADD3) protocol - Across is one good place to provide liquidity for the bridge, as you get not only a good interest, but also its native tokens as bonus on top of it. I just added some USDC and ETH for liquidity rewards. Check UMA Protocol to see how they make this bridge safer than other bridges, using Optimistic Oracles. Total =308 ACX - $182

I am also quite active on Discord, assisting the [UMA](https://discord.gg/KXKc34s6) and [ACROSS](https://www.publish0x.com/across.to?ref=0xB018AC399491B9320A456ad0e696D2032b6bADD3) teams, check them in [there](https://discord.gg/KXKc34s6) if you want to learn a bit more, and if you like to spot hidden gems long before they become well known. (This is one of my well guarded secrets). 

Dappradar staking - RADAR - $4.52

Contests: $200 Pengu airdrop and $675 worth of BTC returned from Celsius

**TOTAL - $1422.54**

**TOTAL crypto income in December - $1795 (£1430)**

A simple strategy done for 2024:

Increase my Hive portfolio to 100K Power up, then until it will generate $50 daily via curation, which I will delegate in order to save time. Focusing on Hive next, for 2024, in order to get a big enough retirement pot, as I can completely automatize everything on Hive Blockchain to do the hard work without my involvment, so I can just write about what I like, when I like. Save more stablecoins in order to reach the final emergency sum of 100K in stablecoins, before my retirement, I hope. Get 1000 CAKE staked on Pancake Swap seems a faraway dream so I may focus on some mutual funds and shares maybe. Buy some of the spare crypto from my list (I need a lot of DEC tokens to stake cards on the Splinterlands lands - $1580).

Projects to follow up in 2024:

Hive - 16.68 % completed  
Across - 41.34 % completed  
Shares Account no.1 - 17.91% completed  
Shares Account no.2 - 13.80 % completed  
Cash emergency fund - 100 % completed

Projects that I tested in the past:

[Read.cash/Noise.cash](http://Read.cash/Noise.cash) blog - stopped

[Torum](https://www.torum.com/signup?referral%5Fcode=heruvim78) (some kind of crypto twitter) - stopped

[Presearch](https://presearch.org/signup?rid=1685676) Node - crypto rewards search engine, sold and stopped.

[Coinbase](https://www.coinbase.com/join/gmihalache) \- some free crypto quests, high fees, sold and stopped

Polkamon - Polychain Monsters similar with Axie - stopped

[Cryptobrewmaster](https://www.cryptobrewmaster.io/game/invite?ref=d3791329ad444d6fb15573b3203afe9b&code=AlphaBonus) \- game in Hive blockchain, stopped playing it. 

Maiar ([Elrond staking](https://www.publish0x.com/xport.al/referral/464iut2o7n)) - [all-in-one app ](https://www.publish0x.com/xport.al/referral/464iut2o7n)\- sold 99% of it as it is not UK friendly.

All the best,

George

# **End of the season Glint spending and basic math - statistics and probabilities**

Motto: I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.  
(Thomas Jefferson)

This was a good season with 202K Glint at the end of the season. First I bought 300 Minor chests with mixed results, as the only notable cards were 4 Gold Common and 1 Epic.

After that I bought 100 Rare cards, 3 of them being Gold. Next, 6000 Merits, to add to the Gladiator collection.

One Legendary for luck!

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmXgprYFomzgaknd2ZPcFbK5NTZsGQEeEMWwHdWntbrefV/image.png)

Then 46 Major chests, with 3 Gold Common, 5 Rare and 1 Epic cards, plus a bunch of Common regular, potions and merits. And with this, the shopping spree ended. What did I got in the end?

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmd4gMa9Geac9cmSRCmLVXFioGcpy9Sx5nRhD5Q9Hks1rW/image.png)

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmcgy2VjxTxjgFWEsL4awQe1DkPS5vLiPChGnvoVTn4Fh1/image.png)

Common Regular - 4 max level 10, 8 level 9  
Common Gold - 6 level 8, 4 level 7 and 2 level 6

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmRp8ip9tUNmbV9jGsZow9TF1AXA5s3HLt8FpeKUDZAWf6/image.png)

Rare Regular - 8 level 7, 4 level 6  
Rare Gold - 2 level 5, 2 level 4, 2 level 3 and 5 level 2\. No Gold cards dropped for the Commander Slade.

Legendary Regular - 4 level 2, 7 level 1  
Legendary Gold - One level 2.

On my 3 Gladiator packs, I got 5 Rare and 10 Common. And with this, the journey ended, at least for another 15 days.

# **You are not what happened to you. You are what you choose to become! (weekly crypto updates)**

​

![](https://images.hive.blog/DQmX5iMfNxUo3z129s1B4PBkHUxDcvzyDnAQ99N5uK1tV5e/thumb%20mgc.jpg)

​

What happened in crypto the past week? Bitcoin is going up and down around the 100K level. ETH is looking good this week, but there is a lot of work to be done to grow in 2025\. China introduced new laws to make cross-border trading harder. What else? Read below:

* Bitcoin: Bitcoin price forecast is wild, with values between 150K and 400K. Bitcoin faced price struggles last week as market sentiment shifted. The crypto market looked a bit sketchy at the end of the year, but we may witness a last-minute recovery right now, as I write this post. We are already at $102K for 1 BTC. Syria is exploring Bitcoin legalization to rebuild its economy post-Assad regime. MicroStrategy got another 2138 BTC (worth $209M) and Tether added 7629 BTC (worth $700M) to its total holdings too. The Bitcoin's supply is getting squeezed like never before, with Blackrock and friends now controlling 5.7$ of all Bitcoin. While in November we had 25K moved daily into the exchanges, right now we only have 2-5K BTC moved daily into the exchanges.

​

* Ethereum: Ethereum's NFT trading volume surged to $186M last week, a 67% increase from the previous week, with Pudgy Penguins generating $108M alone. Still, Ethereum might disappoint in 2025, as it surged only 46% while Bitcoin went up 121%, and out of 19 upgrades, only two notably impacted the price. Metamask Gas Station enabled gasless swaps for supported tokens on ETH. Ethereum ETFs attracted $2.6B in net inflows in December.

​

* Altcoins and stablecoins: It seems that altcoins need to rise by 16% to hit a critical market cap level, triggering the 'euphoria' phase and potential even higher price surges. Will this happen soon enough? A [Lisk airdrop](https://portal.lisk.com/airdrop) is ongoing, with 77 days remaining to climb the leatherboard (feel free to use my referral 0fRpWD if needed). You can use Velodrome or Okutrade for daily transactions. I did have some fun with [Intract](https://quest.intract.io/?referralCode=g2g3SD&referralSource=REFERRAL%5FPAGE&referralLink=https%3A%2F%2Fquest.intract.io%2Freferral%3Fallow%3Dtrue), where you do quests for NFT and even win some crypto in contests. The memecoin market lost billions in December, so think twice before making a move in there! SOL had a rough week before Christmas, but it seems to have recovered in the past week. Volatility Shares filed to Solana Futures ETF. Floki is one of the first memecoins to make a leap into traditional finance, with an exchange-traded product on Switzerland's largest stock exchange. Phantom is working on social features that let users create profiles and add friends. DOGE pumped 21%. Hyperliquid launched a native staking feature.

​

* NFTs and blockchain games: On [Splinterlands,](https://splinterlands.com/?ref=mightyrocklee) we are getting ready for a new card collection, with some cool summoners that are now auction-only, yet it seems quite expensive. Check my [Holozing ](https://hive.blog/hive-131131/@mightyrocklee/holozing-zingtober-a-monthly-discovery)article to learn about a new blockchain game that looks full of potential. I am also playing [Golemancer ](https://golemoverlord.com/?ref=mightyrocklee)on Hive, and it is quite profitable, I would say, with some great updates lately. Pengu token went up 13% this week, a 250% increase since its December launch.

​

* Good news: [Kucoin](https://www.kucoin.com/r/af/7xfryf) has a brilliant referral program if you are good at this stuff. We had $13.6B from venture capitalists in 2024, compared to 2023's $10B, and 2025 looks even better. After years of regulatory battles, Ripple is now focusing on the US market, with 75% of its new jobs in the US. Is this the Trump effect? Morgan Stanley is exploring the addition of crypto trading to its E-Tade online brokerage platform. Tether bought 103M shares of Rumble Class A Common stock at $7.50 per share, causing Rumble's stock to more than double over the next few days, and reach $17.40\. Coinbase has acquired a key MiFID II license for its European expansion plans through the acquisition of the Cyprus unit of European brokerage firm Bux.

​

* Bad news: China is making crypto trading harder, as the country's banks must now track and report everything, from trader identity to fund sources and trading frequencies. They are specifically targeting cross-border crypto activities, making it harder to use the yuan to buy digital assets. The total market cap dropped 4% in the last week. In his first US court appearance, Do Kwon pleaded not guilty to all nine charges related to Terraform Labs. Banks are moving into the stablecoin sector, especially in Europe, as Tether retreated from the market. Crypto losses from hacks and scams reached a 2024 low in December, only $27M, compared with $63M in November and $115M in October. Even the hackers took a break and celebrated the end of the year. But some are fighting back, like the T3 financial crimes unit, (Tron, Tether and TRM Labs collaboration) which has frozen $100M in USDT linked to illicit activities.

​

* Joke of the week: It seems that the whole of 2024 was a comedian's work of art, as we started well on January 10 with the SEC's approval of the spot BTC ETFs. We had July's ETH ETFs and Gary Gensler's departure positioned the US well on the crypto map. India got into the global adoption rankings despite its 30% tax regime. Even Nigeria processed $59B in crypto transactions in 2024, as they are using crypto for everything, from bill payments to mobile top-ups. Indonesia has some impressive numbers, with 21M registered crypto users, 716K active traders and $30B in transactions, a 352% increase year-over-year. Vietnam is a surprising presence on the crypto map, with a big focus on the play2earn models. But the conclusion is that crypto is no longer asking for permission to exist, it is a way to thrive, from individual to whole countries (see El Salvador bitcoin experiment).

​

All the best, George

# **My Splinterlands adventure 2025 - week 2, as I got another land fully staked!**

![](https://images.hive.blog/DQmagJE3pQREoggzkaVPGHjvLwfT8y5yBdn4N4mzDB1x6i8/bgame.jpg)

Splinterlands latest news are:

* We have a special card on the Auction House, only 200 of them, on 25 hours auction each, when time is gone, higher bid will get the card. It is one of the 5 Gold cards this week. Look at this beauty! Heloise the Hollow, with 8 attack, Taunt, Opportunity and two new abilities, Spite - when defeated, 100% chance to counterattack, and Soul Siphon - as long as there is a non-Weary allied unit, self-resurrects with 100% armor and 50% of max health, rounded down. All magic debuffs are removed, and all magic buffs are reapplied. Inflicts Weary on the non-Weary allied unit with the highest health and reduces their health by 50%, rounded up. Basically spamming ressurect and killing everything in her way. Not a card I want to meet when is a non-armor ruleset. Too bad that they sold initially with $1300, latelly getting around $1000\. Way out off my league!

![](https://images.hive.blog/DQmUPqKLHXfPA8nWNx1FGdxXc8u2Bthv1R8ZWDKKWnGQ7tc/heloise.png)

* Staked SPS will be counted, along with staked GLX, for the Colony Airdrop, which it seems to go for 5 years, or at least that's what they said. There is a minimum requirement though - 10K GLX, 100 GLUSD and/or 5K SPS. Enjoy!
* Rebellion packs - all of them are sold, a new collection is starting, and Chaos Legion will be moved to Wild. I have quite low levels on Rebellion, and I do not plan to buy to many packs on the new collection, I may buy cheap cards first.

​

Land:

![ "land 02.01.bmp"](https://images.hive.blog/DQmaTGZPswrzWTNMHEygG14GitCPrbnUgMCZVUoRju2SLTE/land%2002.01.bmp)

Lands completely ready - 75/75 - 100% (2 Tax, 37 Grain, 28 Research, 8 SPS), sadly 16 Grain and 14 Magic lands only have 1 card staked.

Lands with at least 1 card staked - 75/75

Natural staked - 42/42 (All ready)

Magic staked - 28/28 (All ready)

​

Cards:

My [Splinterlands ](https://splinterlands.com/?ref=mightyrocklee)battle plans are going well, as I am fighting in the Diamond I in the current season. The Riftwatchers cards upgrade is on the schedule, 4 cards left to max up, all Rare ones, with few more cards upgraded, but I do not think that I will upgrade all the legendary cards, as they are too expensive. On Rebellion, all common cards upgraded to level 5, try all rare to level 5 next, 19 left. I need something crazy like 1.2M DEC to fully stake all my lands. I estimate that this will take me 3 months at least. I am putting all vouchers and grain paired with DEC into the pools until I will make 1% of the pools. For now I got:

1. 502 Vouchers/7815 DEC 0.054%
2. 2217k Grain /12199 DEC 0.072%

​

Riftwatchers goals:

All rare level 6 - Done. All level 7 - Next

Rebellion goals:

All common level 5 - Done. All level 6 - Next

All rare level 4 - Done. All level 5 - Next

All epic level 2 - Done. All level 3 - Next

All legendary level 1- Done. All level 2 - Next

​

**Rental stats:** 

Today: 0.000/0.000 DEC

**Cards upgraded**:

I went for summoners this week with Zeddica with 15 BCX bought this week.

# **My financial independence story - Crypto adventures - 2025 - Week 2 (Saturday Savers edition)**

One of my favorite activities, creating a plan for the whole next year. All the dopamine waiting for me, as I reach target after target. Exciting! Do you feel the same?

The plans. I managed to divided into 4 sections, Plan A related to Hive and Leo, where the main focus will be. Than the Plan B, different key numbers for tokens that either drip or pay, mostly Hive, but few others too, if they have a good APR. Plan C following, mostly related to some layer 2 Hive tokens, that I use for curations or gaming, aswell all Splinterlands related stuff, cards upgrades and active land, SPS and SPT. And the last one, Plan D, cryptocurrencies I would like to have outside Hive, containing a little retirement nest, with stablecoins, shares, cash and some other crypto. So, let's start with the numbers:

Plan A:

* Hive - 107.625/200.000
* LEO I will run a complex scheme here with all the delegated LEO rewards exchanged into Hive and delegated to [@leo.voter](https://hive.blog/@leo.voter) \- Hive delegation **1000/1000 achieved**. I opted in to receive rewards staked, and I have **321/1000 LEO** staked. Once I reach 1000 LEO, I will delegated to [@meowcurator](https://hive.blog/@meowcurator), with further LEO rewards exchanged into Hive and delegated for Leo. And repeat this on every month of 2025.
* (Optional) Participate to HiveFest if it is close enough to me.

Plan B:

* DAB 27.36/50
* DBOND 33.14/100
* RUG 13/50
* EDSI 438/500
* EDSD 12/25
* DUO 1.23/200

Plan C:

* Land - I want to get at least 11 Lands fully operational with 5 staked max level cards, probably Rare, until the end of 2025\. 1/11
* Riftwatchers - all remaining Rare cards max level 0/4
* Rebellion - all Common and Rare summoners max level 0/10
* To own 1% of the following pools: DEC/SPS 0.09/1%, DEC/Grain 0.07/1% and DEC/Voucher 0.05/1%

Plan D:

* Across liquidity 42%
* Shares account no.1 17.8%
* Shares account no.2 14.16%
* Cash liquidity saved 0%

Looking at it, I feel that the most challenging 3 targets will be 200K Hive, Rebellion summoners upgrade and Across liquidity target. I will start with the small targets, to motivate myself and push through my limits.

​

This is all for today!

All the best,

George

What happened in crypto the past week? What else? Read below:

* Bitcoin: Spot BTC ETFs attracted a $1.9B inflow in just 2 days. Bitcoin miners are amassing BTC reserves to fortify themselves against tightening margins in an increasingly competitive landscape. The US government had been cleared to sell 69.370 BTC worth $6.5B, seized from the former darknet marketplace Silk Road. Before Trump becomes the president, just because he wants to keep all the 210K BTC worth $21B plus the US Treasury and the Fed should also buy 1M BTC in the next 5 years. That is 5% of the total supply for you. Bhutan SAR has announced plans to incorporate cryptocurrencies (including BTC, ETH and BNB), into its strategic reserves. MicroStrategy bought 1070 BTC for $101M, a bit less than usual. Gary Gensler's last speech made an interesting mention of "Bitcoin versus everything else". Was that a hint of what will come? Some institutions made big money, dumping 79K BTC at $108K, and buying back 34K BTC at $94K. The US entities are now dominating BTC holdings, with 65% more than all the offshore players combined.

​

* Ethereum: ETH is down 6.46%, underperforming BTC. Ethereum has faced a challenging start to the year, shedding 15% from its recent local highs and dipping to a low of $3,157\. But we also had net outflows surpassing $1.4 billion, the highest level since November 2024, which made some people think that a rebound is coming. Right now we are at $3321.

​

* Altcoins and stablecoins: [Pump.fun](http://Pump.fun) dominated 70% of all token launches on Solana this weekend. The first US Solana ETF may change everything if it is approved in January. Will this happen soon enough? A [Lisk airdrop](https://portal.lisk.com/airdrop) is ongoing, with 47 days remaining to climb the leatherboard (feel free to use my referral 0fRpWD if needed). You can use Velodrome or Okutrade for daily transactions. I did have some fun with [Intract](https://quest.intract.io/?referralCode=g2g3SD&referralSource=REFERRAL%5FPAGE&referralLink=https%3A%2F%2Fquest.intract.io%2Freferral%3Fallow%3Dtrue), where you do quests for NFT and even win some crypto in contests. Ripple will use data feeds from the provider Chainlink to boost RLUSD stablecoin use in DeFi. The memecoins are taking a hard hit as the market turns red.

​

* NFTs and blockchain games: The GameFi market cap saw a slight drop from $25.36 billion to $24.95 billion over the last seven days. On [Splinterlands,](https://splinterlands.com/?ref=mightyrocklee) we are getting ready for a new card collection, with some cool summoners that are now auction-only, yet it seems quite expensive. Check my [Holozing ](https://hive.blog/hive-131131/@mightyrocklee/holozing-zingtober-a-monthly-discovery)article to learn about a new blockchain game that looks full of potential. I am also playing [Golemancer ](https://golemoverlord.com/?ref=mightyrocklee)on Hive, and it is quite profitable, I would say, with some great updates lately. Check this article that I wrote about it: [Link](https://hive.blog/golemoverlord/@mightyrocklee/how-to-start-playing-conquest-mode-in-the-golem-overlord-game-nw). Fun fact, if you are good at shooting games, try this one: [BR Infinite](https://x.com/BR1INFINITE): a “Real Money Shooter” where players deposit funds to compete, earning money for each in-game kill. [@pvmihalache](https://hive.blog/@pvmihalache), tell your son about this.

​

* Good news: Canadian prime minister's resignation may clear a path for a less crypto-resistant government, with the frontrunner wowing to make the country a crypto capital. [Kucoin](https://www.kucoin.com/r/af/7xfryf) is still my favourite exchange for the UK, unlike Binance, which cut off all the potential ways to generate a profit here. Backpack Exchange is set to expand its footprint in the EU, after acquiring FTX EU, the European arm of the bankrupt exchange FTX. Thailand launched a crypto payment pilot program for tourists in Phuket. Standard Chartered secured a Luxembourg license to offer crypto custody services.

​

* Bad news: CryptoQuant thinks that we are in the final stage of this bull run. But others are thinking that the end will come sometime by mid-March. Coinbase has alerted its customers that it may be compelled to share data with a US regulator, related to their interactions with the prediction markets platform Polymarket. The UK Treasury excluded crypto staking from the definition of the CIS (Collective Scheme Investment) scheme. In the UK, CIS are arrangements in which the participants are entitled to the profit or the income generated. According to the CFTC Chair, the crypto rules could take two years to finalize.

​

* Joke of the week: An early Bitcoin investor from Texas had been ordered by a federal judge to relinquish access to his cryptocurrency holdings by handing over the private keys and access codes to his wallet after he was sentenced for tax fraud over $3.7M in Bitcoin sales, making this the first criminal tax evasion prosecution centred on cryptocurrency.

​

All the best,

George

# **My Splinterlands adventure 2025 - week 3, as I get the Riftwatchers ready for Wild**

![](https://images.hive.blog/DQmagJE3pQREoggzkaVPGHjvLwfT8y5yBdn4N4mzDB1x6i8/bgame.jpg)

Splinterlands latest news are:

* We have a special card on the Auction House, only 200 of them, on 25 hours auction each, when time is gone, higher bid will get the card. Look at this beauty! Heloise the Hollow, with 8 attack, Taunt, Opportunity and two new abilities, Spite - when defeated, 100% chance to counterattack, and Soul Siphon - as long as there is a non-Weary allied unit, self-resurrects with 100% armor and 50% of max health, rounded down. All magic debuffs are removed, and all magic buffs are reapplied. Inflicts Weary on the non-Weary allied unit with the highest health and reduces their health by 50%, rounded up. Basically spamming ressurect and killing everything in her way. Not a card I want to meet when is a non-armor ruleset. Too bad that they sold initially with $1300, latelly getting around $1000\. Way out off my league!

![](https://images.hive.blog/DQmUPqKLHXfPA8nWNx1FGdxXc8u2Bthv1R8ZWDKKWnGQ7tc/heloise.png)

* Staked SPS will be counted, along with staked GLX, for the Colony Airdrop, which it seems to go for 5 years, or at least that's what they said. There is a minimum requirement though - 10K GLX, 100 GLUSD and/or 5K SPS. Enjoy!
* Rebellion packs - all of them are sold, a new collection is starting, and Chaos Legion will be moved to Wild. I have quite low levels on Rebellion, and I do not plan to buy to many packs on the new collection, I may buy cheap cards first.

Land:

Cards:

My [Splinterlands ](https://splinterlands.com/?ref=mightyrocklee)battle plans are going well, as I am fighting in the Diamond I in the current season. The Riftwatchers cards upgrade is on the schedule, 4 cards left to max up, all Rare ones, with few more cards upgraded, but I do not think that I will upgrade all the legendary cards, as they are too expensive. On Rebellion, all common cards upgraded to level 5, try all rare to level 5 next, 19 left. I need something crazy like 1.2M DEC to fully stake all my lands. I estimate that this will take me 3 months at least. I am putting all vouchers and grain paired with DEC into the pools until I will make 1% of the pools. For now I got:

1. 570 Vouchers/8176 DEC 0.06%
2. 2471k Grain /13441 DEC 0.08%

​

Riftwatchers goals:

All rare level 6 - Done. All level 7 - Next

Rebellion goals:

All common level 5 - Done. All level 6 - Next

All rare level 4 - Done. All level 5 - Next

All epic level 2 - Done. All level 3 - Next

All legendary level 1- Done. All level 2 - Next

​

**Rental stats:** 

Today: 0.000/0.000 DEC

**Cards upgraded**:

I went for summoners this week with Zeddica with 21 BCX bought this week, reaching level 6.

![](https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_rebellion/Zeddica.jpg)

Then I got some extra BCX for the Riftwatchers Rare cards that I got left, 16 BCX for the Cabalist, 7 for Corsair Bosun, and 1 for Runic Skyclaw:

# **End of the season Glint spending and basic math - statistics and probabilities**

Motto: I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.  
(Thomas Jefferson)

This was a good season with 327K Glint at the end of the season. So, let's buy stuff! I started with a Legendary, for luck. Regular, of course.

​  
![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmYp3CRRYbNGiSgGeLAS8j7DrsAuZXenmStGCwoRFm5NEe/image.png)

Then all the 300 Minor chests from the first batch, with no Alchemy potions. Not profitable enough to use it on them. Got 15 Energy (if I win half of them, 8K Glint), 5 Epic cards worth 37K Glint, 2 Gold Common cards (another 7K Glint) and loads of Rare and Common cards.

Next, 100 Rare cards, with no Alchemy, again, not profitable. Out of 100 cards, 3 were Gold.

Next, a bit of a wild bet, 150 Major chests, for 150K. Will this make it worth the effort? I did got 2 Legendary, some Epics, 2 Common Gold, 35 Energy (making at least 17-20K Glint as I play) and many, many Common and rare cards. Not to count around 20K Merits, meaning 10 new Gladiator packs. Probably profitable enough, as I can count at least 160K Glint worth of cards without even counting the potions and the Rare/Common cards. With only 7K Glint left, I will spend the rest on Merits.  
​

As a review, this is what I had before and after buying the cards.

Common Regular - before, 7 level 9 left to upgrade, and after, 2 cards maxed up, and only 5 level 9 left to upgrade, much closer to the task:

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmTTWAGba6d8SkVjwdh8EKL87cKWY7QW4KquuS7wS5gG2Z/image.png)

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQma49ZT7s1W2uzu5vyiuFXnQdR5VbY645Wb1hY7oVVViJE/image.png)

Common Gold - before, 2 level 9, 5 level 8, 4 level 7 and one level 6, and after, same levels, with no change:

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmZQbzkz1oC4tE8nRGpM5anNpvkTVSqj1kpT6xi5Y3wHJQ/image.png)

Rare Regular - before, 8 level 7 and 4 level 6, and after, one max level 8, yay, and 11 level 7 to max up:

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmYQ79Tk83vBYBWMWTmogdnURwRsU3effNskcJugXNNBY5/image.png)

Rare Gold - before, 2 level 5, 2 level 4, 2 level 3 and 5 level 2, and after, 2 of the level 2 cards upgraded to level 3:

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmPXLMoXbvDM3XDsNmQwhkwTDvL8PwWrduGEzYzZ8G4xkT/image.png)

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmXTAXoQKLpaFRf2pCfbsRqA9VNHGf6pW9ykbZeQ3A8r9U/image.png)

Epic Regular - before, 4 level 4 and 3 level 3, and after, same levels, with some cards close to upgrade. I may save 75K to buy 10 of them:

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmVdxMx8UT5jkwKNmnNSqfdPyok9iWPrnxG7ueiYKyfGRJ/image.png)

Epic Gold - before, 1 level 3 and 3 level 2, and after, same, no new cards:

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmbPgYeKA3jTYFq8SfH4zEao7j9nokSHiTDj6vZNfUH4sh/image.png)

Legendary Regular - before, 4 level 2 and 7 level 1, and after, the same, but I do have 2 of them one card away from level 3:

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmaDii7z4oD4bA278UiKhFWXAT6wJQBNBkUrgWkaT74AnU/image.png)

Legendary Gold - before, only one level 2, and after, no new one:

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmNodi6uiT7XntQrLocpDD3SJnPtcC8VRSMs9o7a7a1n1q/image.png)

​In the end, I used all the merits to get some 24 Gladiator packs. What did I got? One Legendary, 9 Epic, 29 Rare, 2 Gold Common and the rest of it, just regular Common cards.

# **My financial independence story - Crypto adventures - 2025 - Week 3 (Saturday Savers edition)**

​

One of my favorite activities, creating a plan for the whole next year. All the dopamine waiting for me, as I reach target after target. Exciting! Do you feel the same?

The plans. I managed to divided into 4 sections, Plan A related to Hive and Leo, where the main focus will be. Than the Plan B, different key numbers for tokens that either drip or pay, mostly Hive, but few others too, if they have a good APR. Plan C following, mostly related to some layer 2 Hive tokens, that I use for curations or gaming, aswell all Splinterlands related stuff, cards upgrades and active land, SPS and SPT. And the last one, Plan D, cryptocurrencies I would like to have outside Hive, containing a little retirement nest, with stablecoins, shares, cash and some other crypto. So, let's start with the numbers:

Plan A:

* Hive - 107.708/200.000
* LEO I will run a complex scheme here with all the delegated LEO rewards exchanged into Hive and delegated to [@leo.voter](https://hive.blog/@leo.voter) \- Hive delegation **1000/1000 achieved**. I opted in to receive rewards staked, and I have **321/1000 LEO** staked. Once I reach 1000 LEO, I will delegated to [@meowcurator](https://hive.blog/@meowcurator), with further LEO rewards exchanged into Hive and delegated for Leo. And repeat this on every month of 2025.
* (Optional) Participate to HiveFest if it is close enough to me.

Plan B:

* DAB 27.47/50
* DBOND 33.46/100
* RUG 13/50
* EDSI 444/500
* EDSD 13/25
* DUO 2.90/200

Plan C:

* Land - I want to get at least 11 Lands fully operational with 5 staked max level cards, probably Rare, until the end of 2025\. 1/11
* Riftwatchers - all remaining Rare cards max level 0/4
* Rebellion - all Common and Rare summoners max level 0/10
* To own 1% of the following pools: DEC/SPS 0.09/1%, DEC/Grain 0.08/1% and DEC/Voucher 0.06/1%

Plan D:

* Across liquidity 42%
* Shares account no.1 17.8%
* Shares account no.2 14.16%
* Cash liquidity saved 0%

Looking at it, I feel that the most challenging 3 targets will be 200K Hive, Rebellion summoners upgrade and Across liquidity target. I will start with the small targets, to motivate myself and push through my limits.

​

This is all for today!

All the best,

George

![](https://images.hive.blog/DQmX5iMfNxUo3z129s1B4PBkHUxDcvzyDnAQ99N5uK1tV5e/thumb%20mgc.jpg)

What happened in crypto the past week? Bitcoin is up and down, like a yo-yo. Trump may be to blame, when he is not busy launching memecoins. Gary Gensler went home on January 20\. What else? Read below:

* Bitcoin: MicroStrategy bought another 450.000 BTC while the exchanges hit a 6-year low. Fed's rate cut drama pushed BTC down to $90K, only to come back shortly after to $108K. Then dropped to $89K. As I write this, it is getting close to $105K. A true rollercoaster. HashKey is talking about a $300K BTC this year. Wow! Coinbase is bringing back BTC-backed loans, partnering with Morpho Labs to offer up to $100.000 in USDC loans against your BTC holdings.

​

* Ethereum: ETH lagged behind, rising only 2.71%, compared with 7.91 for BTC. Swiss retail bank PostFinance launched ETH staking for 2.7M clients.

​

* Altcoins and stablecoins: Remember that only 293 wallets out of more than 13.5M made over $1M in profit from [Pump.fun](http://Pump.fun), can you do it? Binance's altcoin trading volume hit 78% while BTC's dominance dropped. A [Lisk airdrop](https://portal.lisk.com/airdrop) is ongoing, with 47 days remaining to climb the leatherboard (feel free to use my referral 0fRpWD if needed). You can use Velodrome or Okutrade for daily transactions. I did have some fun with [Intract](https://quest.intract.io/?referralCode=g2g3SD&referralSource=REFERRAL%5FPAGE&referralLink=https%3A%2F%2Fquest.intract.io%2Freferral%3Fallow%3Dtrue), where you do quests for NFT and even win some crypto in contests. Tether (USDT) is relocating its entire operation from the British Virgin Islands to El Salvador. Even after Coinbase Europe delisted USDT, and USDC increased its market cap from $42B to $46B, Tether is still leading with a $137B market cap. Dogecoin jumped 11%. XRP went up 15% too. Tron launched USDD 2.0 with a 20% APY, with some similarities to Luna stablecoin, so, I will not really trust it much. Phantom Wallet raised $150M in a Series C funding round. Check Jupiter January airdrop, as the checker is live. Canary Capital updated the paperwork for a Litecoin ETF. Litecoin ETF could attract as much as $580M in inflows.

​

* NFTs and blockchain games: Azuki announced the launch of the ANIME token on ETH and Arbitrum in January 2025, mirroring the PENGU token. The NFTs just closed their roughest year since 2020, with trading dropping 19% to $13.7, and sales crashed 18% too, to 50M transactions. On [Splinterlands,](https://splinterlands.com/?ref=mightyrocklee) we are getting ready for a new card collection, with some cool summoners that are now auction-only, yet it seems quite expensive. Check my [Holozing ](https://hive.blog/hive-131131/@mightyrocklee/holozing-zingtober-a-monthly-discovery)article to learn about a new blockchain game that looks full of potential. I am also playing [Golemancer ](https://golemoverlord.com/?ref=mightyrocklee)on Hive, and it is quite profitable, I would say, with some great updates lately. Check this article that I wrote about it: [Link](https://hive.blog/golemoverlord/@mightyrocklee/how-to-start-playing-conquest-mode-in-the-golem-overlord-game-nw).

​

* Good news: Coinbase won a round against the SEC, as judges called the commission's crypto approach as 'arbitrary'. Pantera Capital thought that Trump's inauguration would be big for crypto. The next US Treasury Secretary could be crypto's best friend. ETF giants are flooding the SEC with ETF applications, as Gary Gensler's final day was on January 20\. MoonPay acquired Solana-powered crypto payments processor Helio for $175M. Sygnum reached a valuation of more than $1B, achieving Unicorn status. Thailand weights allowing BTC ETFs on local exchanges.

​

* Bad news: Mango Markets will close after the $110M exploit drama, as its TVL dropped from $210M in November to $9M. Bitmex was ordered to pay $100M in fines by a DoJ judge. CFTC scrutinizes [Crypto.com](http://Crypto.com) sports derivatives contracts.

​

* Joke of the week: The Trumps are taking over crypto with the TRUMP token dominating the crypto space at a $15B market cap, and the MELANIA token hitting $5B too. Some accused them of starting pump-and-dump schemes.

​

All the best,

George

Splinterlands latest news are:

* This Thursday, January 23 at 10AM there is an interesting Inleo Showdown Tournament, check it out on Splinterlands Discord, the prizes are quite tempting!
* We have a special card on the Auction House, only 200 of them, on 25 hours auction each, when time is gone, higher bid will get the card. Look at this beauty! Heloise the Hollow, with 8 attack, Taunt, Opportunity and two new abilities, Spite - when defeated, 100% chance to counterattack, and Soul Siphon - as long as there is a non-Weary allied unit, self-resurrects with 100% armor and 50% of max health, rounded down. All magic debuffs are removed, and all magic buffs are reapplied. Inflicts Weary on the non-Weary allied unit with the highest health and reduces their health by 50%, rounded up. Basically spamming ressurect and killing everything in her way. Not a card I want to meet when is a non-armor ruleset. Too bad that they sold initially with $1300, latelly getting around $1000\. Way out off my league!

* Staked SPS will be counted, along with staked GLX, for the Colony Airdrop, which it seems to go for 5 years, or at least that's what they said. There is a minimum requirement though - 10K GLX, 100 GLUSD and/or 5K SPS. Enjoy!
* Rebellion packs - all of them are sold, a new collection is starting, and Chaos Legion will be moved to Wild. I have quite low levels on Rebellion, and I do not plan to buy to many packs on the new collection, I may buy cheap cards first.

Land:

Natural staked - 42/42 (All ready)

Magic staked - 28/28 (All ready)

​

Cards:

My [Splinterlands ](https://splinterlands.com/?ref=mightyrocklee)battle plans are going well, as I am fighting in the Diamond I in the current season. The Riftwatchers cards upgrade is on the schedule, 4 cards left to max up, all Rare ones, with few more cards upgraded, but I do not think that I will upgrade all the legendary cards, as they are too expensive. On Rebellion, all common cards upgraded to level 5, try all rare to level 5 next, 19 left. I need something crazy like 1.2M DEC to fully stake all my lands. I estimate that this will take me 3 months at least. I am putting all vouchers and grain paired with DEC into the pools until I will make 1% of the pools. For now I got:

1. 674 Vouchers/8310 DEC 0.061%
2. 2565k Grain /14803 DEC 0.084%

​

Riftwatchers goals:

All rare level 6 - Done. All level 7 - Next

Rebellion goals:

All common level 5 - Done. All level 6 - Next

All rare level 4 - Done. All level 5 - Next

All epic level 2 - Done. All level 3 - Next

All legendary level 1- Done. All level 2 - Next

​

**Rental stats:** 

Today: 0.000/0.000 DEC

​

**Cards upgraded**:

I went for one Warborn Shaman, as it has decent magic damage:

Then I got some extra BCX for the Riftwatchers Rare cards that I got left, 5 BCX for the Cabalist, 10 for Corsair Bosun, and 1 for Queen of Crows:

The Corsair Bosun reached level 7 gaining +1 Health. The Cabalist reached level 7 gaining +1 Speed.

So many plans,  
so little clans,  
ready to dance,  
friend of romance,  
romantic languages, like that Italian guy,  
who needed a ceiling to paint the whole sky,  
you come and you go,  
to reap what you sow,  
don't start with that show,  
the ideas that blow,  
pitchforks, corks and other fireworks,  
be it February or May,  
my thoughts go to holiday,  
I miss some free time, me and a French mime,  
to gain some pain along the Seine.

I want to be somewhere far away,  
I really really need that holiday,  
do as they say and you may  
live another day, low-key,  
a farm, two horses and some hay,  
Marquis of Frey.

I breathe again, inhaling the fresh winter air,  
dying at 120 with no heir,  
Bruxelles, world fair,  
it was 1958, mate, waiting at the gate,  
no enemies, just me and a Belgian waffle, chocolate,  
the best that you can get, all set,  
it's nothing but a memory right now.

Go with the flow!
