Heatbreak at the midway point of the 52 Week challenge. Chaos pack opens for $0.44...
I am opening 52 packs in 52 weeks of Splinterlands Chaos Legion. This week hurt pretty bad with a return of $0.44. Ouch to the ouch. Pack opening is at the end of this post. Let's find some good in today instead!

So, let's focus on a few positives today.
### HIVE

From Coingecko, we can see that Hive is at $0.29. Maybe we'll break back into the $0.30s today. Hive is up for the last 7 days. Crypto might be putting most of the bad  news in the past. Memory is short in crypto.
As usual, Hive tracks Bitcoin. BTC is up. Hive is up. I moved 60 Hive to HBD today. I think Hive will go higher, but I have a long-term strategy to build HBD in 2023. So it was part of my dollar cost averaging.

### SPLINTERLAND ASSETS

DEC hasn't changed  much after dropping last week. SPS is showin some turnaround. Looks like GLX has hit a level where it hangs out without much change around $0.032. And Chaos packs have started recovering from the $1.30s to the $1.50s. Above image from Tribaldex. 
Also, I thought this was a good article on SPS. https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@tobetada/crypto-analysis-or-sps-first-green-weekly-candle Thanks @tobetada for the analysis. I like to see the green candle!

**So, how's my pack return going?** 
I purchased the packs at around $2.25 on Tribaldex, which is a great discount from the retail price of $4 a pack on Splinterlands. Well, it once was. Now with packs around $1.50, it seems like I overpaid.

**But will I have a profit at the end of the year?** 
Again not this week. The return on this pack was a shabby $0.44. There's a few low level renters, but there just isn't much in this back that redeems itself.

The cumulative cost at this point is $58.50, while the return is now at $62.68. The gap continues to narrow!
