The last time I went on a power down, it was during the time all new additions to @splinterlands with Untamed Booster Packs and later Azmare Dice along with the incredible Land Plots of Praetoria. These @splinterlands assets ended up being my best performing investment for the last year and there are no regrets regarding those moves. In fact I have @splinterlands assets as the biggest part of my cryptocurrency portfolio which is basically where all my net worth is at.

We can all complain about how we can make the voice acting better. I'm not too concerned about that. I come from the days where there were no such thing as gameplay for @splinterlands and as @nathanmars mentioned today, it was called "SteemMonsters". What matters here is the progress over time. This is all without some large scale corporate funding. @splinterlands is a grassroots game powered by the amazing community that I'm willing to bet on. 

# Not Leaving Anything

I was waiting for a big pump to sell. It seems like I might miss out too much by waiting too long. I have already missed out too much due to not purchasing enough DEC with my liquid funds. It has gone up way above its price floor of $0.001 and the value seems to keep on climbing. 

This brings us to another familiar situation (but the exchanges revered). STEEM-Engine used to be the place that is cheaper to buy DEC. Now it has become 23.36% more expensive to buy. __If you want to sell some DEC, then STEEM-Engine is the place to be.__

# Picking The Right Place To Deposit
You can save many hassles by being smart about where you deposit your cryptocurrency. There are 3 tricks that I can tell you.

1. Don't use https://hive-engine.com to deposit HIVE
2. Use https://splinterlands.com to transfer DEC around
3. Avoid https://steem-engine.net if you need high liquidity

This interface above can get you out of all deposit and withdrawal fees. It's a special benefit of dealing with DEC. No other Token I know on HIVE has this advantage. https://leodex.io/market/DEC and other interfaces exist that allow you to deposit HIVE at a 75% discount. Make sure to use them unless you have to move a large amount of funds immediately.
