While it is not the first bear market, it is definitely one that has hurt given how quickly the ecosystem and community grew. The team has taken some difficult steps to ensure it has a runway to continue to develop and deliver for the ecosystem but that often leads to many challenges that some are not ready for. Instead of working together, some bands among the community start to be somewhat counter-productive which is unfortunate as everyone wants this to succeed in the long term.
This has led me to also level set and reset some of my own expectations for the future. I had some wild thoughts early last year as I saw my Collection value balloon with rising valuations of the tokens I was getting just for playing a game. I will lie if I do not admit that there was a point I though I could just retire by playing a game; a dream come true. However, that door was shut fast but it did not stop my encouragement from continue to build my Collection for various purposes.
I came to realize that I am a player and an investor so need to take the same approaches as such. I have been continuing to build my Collection for playing using the income generated from my assets. After taking some off the table from some pack sales, I started once again to build my Collection for both rentals and gameplay. I even started looking at adding to the Collection for the exciting potential of my land. As Aggy often says, there is never enough so I have been allocating to both goals as I continue forward.
In addition, similar to what I did during the previous bear market, I have been looking at other tokens and projects underperforming to bring those positions over to Splinterlands. While it is making my portfolio more concentrated, it is also allowing me to build for the potential of the ecosystem. I continue to believe in the long term vision of the project and am excited for things that are expected to be released this year like Tower Defense and Land. While history does not always repeat itself, it does often rhyme and the Splinterlands tune is one we can enjoy while we wait!
