Our Pick - Reading Suggestions for January 4th

The OurPick encouragement program is the part of the @Liotes ecosystem where quality posts are curated and authors are encouraged to continue with the content creation adding value to specific communities, and Hive in general...

Created in Canva.com

Occasionally, we will pick a couple of awesome posts that we find interesting and will suggest them for your further reading... We hope that it will help authors as an additional promotion... We support creators with our upvotes in Hive, but also in other tribe tokens! These Hive-Engine tribes give additional value to the whole ecosystem and help authors and curators to follow their niches and dreams...

I'm Thankful for Life, for what I have | Ladies of Hive Community Contest #64 by @rem-steem

I had the same feeling as you that year was shitty and that I didn't accomplish anything... Then, I took some time to reflect and saw how many great people I met here on HIVE, created another healthy community, multiplied my crypto portfolio, etc...
Definitely, we should turn off the TV and live our lives... Mainstream media is poisoning us and we have that "shitty feeling" which is just another fake news...

Splinterlands - I need Leveled Up Summoners to be more Competitive by @darmst5339

I like your approach! It's a perfect moment to sustainably develop your deck by starting to upgrade your summoners. Since the release of chaos legion I have dollar cost averaged into summoners and I buy them whenever I have some DEC on my account. From my experience summoners are probably the safest investment in Splinterlands. They are always needed and people need a lot of them.
From an income point of view, it's probably worth to buy the gold version instead of the normal version. I don't know in the long run if it will become maybe much more difficult to power up the gold version though. Let's say you are now in silver leage and you have a certain mana cap. You probably won't be able to go to gold leage before some time. This means that upgrading your summoners to gold level will come at a much later time. If you go the GF path, it's possible that at that time, the prices for GF will be much higher than regular cards and it will become virtually unaffordable to develop them to gold or diamond level.

Creative Coin Fund Investor Report: First WIT Payouts; APR at 28% by @cccf

I feel guilty that we at @Liotes didn't pay more attention to the Creative Coin tribe... We were doing curation with our @liotes.voter, but with the amount of work, we just couldn't manage to do it properly...
Anyways, we have delegated all our CCC tokens to @cccf, and I will do delegation from my personal account when my undelegated funds come back to my account... ;)
It's awesome what you are doing in the tribe by promoting artists and helping them to thrive on Hive! Please don't give up and keep on doing a great job!

If you want to help in project growth, you can delegate HivePower to the @liotes.voter account that upvotes quality posts on Hive. All delegators receive daily returns paid in LEN tokens for their support!
