And also to make some extra money along the way.

Yeah, that happens. A lot. But do NOT get discouraged. I have literally lost track of the battles I have not won since I started playing. (Actually, I can keep track of my lost battles - but I'd rather not). I would try, try, and try again to ea...

Splinterlands is an NFT-based card battle game. It works on the Hive Blockchain via magic and ERC-20 token dreams. That's just my funny way of saying that I have no idea how side-chain, block chain, or any other chain actually works but that's what...

Ok. Maybe that title is a little over-the-top. The day I'm referring to in that slightly click-bait-ish title is the day that I decided to wade into my personal kiddie pool of cryptocurrency. The actual Day My World Changed was the day my son was b...
