My Cash Out Strategy and Rotation

I'm not a big fan of timing the market. So i devised a logic that is pretty simple. I plan to have a monthly sequence of cash-outs which will provide a continuous source of income without having the need to give up all of my assets and tokens, at the same time allow me to remain competitive in the game. Spreading cashouts between months also gives enough time for one token to recover, increase in value before being cashed out again.

How To Do It?

Each month i will be exchanging one and only token of choice. as mentioned earlier this prevents affecting all of my in game tokens or hive assets and in doing so i dont have to deal with timing the market, and care less at selling at lows

Month 1- Splintershards

In my persepective, the first one that should be cashed out is the splinter shards. This is a governance token, which goes up and down in value. It's first on my list simply because the daily earnings depend largely on airdrop points, which means that your daily sps earnings would likely remain the same even if all of your shards gets cashed out (except for APR interest as this relies on the amount of sps staked) remember that unstaking takes over 4 weeks where 25% gets unstaked weekly) so unstake your splintershards beginning of the month if you want to cash out by end of month.

Month 2 - Card Sales

Selling splinterland cards is second on the rotation of my cash out strategy. There are some cards which i don't really get to use and i actually consider as non performing assets. While selling cards might decrease my collector power. Remember that in rank leagues, rented out cards will aso add up to your collection score

Month 3 - DEC

In my case, Dark Energy Crystals serves as a high utility token, it keeps my airdrop points up and where all rent power comes from. Once I get to month 3, i do not plan to sell all of it but just parts of it as i believe this token has the highest potential to increase in value

Month 4 - Hive and Hive Dollars

This is a token i get from blogging about splinterlands. Simply put, the more i use and share this platform the more i earn. This one, while it's not directly a splinterlands in-game token, acts as a reliever for my actual splinter land assets. I decided to include this in my rotation to give my other splinterlands tokens more months to recover.

Month 5 - Splintertokens

image.png
Similar to above, this is a token i earn from blogging about the splinterlands and will also act as a spacer before i go back to selling in game tokens. Selling this would affect your airdrop points. but again, at this point i've already had 4 months in between which would have given enough time for my SPS to have recuperated and hopefully increased in value.

Month 6 - and moving forward

From this point on, you can go back to month 1, rinse and repeat. Or if you have other crypto coins, tokens or NFTs which you could tap into first that would be ideal before going back to selling SPS. The idea behind this strategy is to have an additional source of monthly income, but if history is to be learned from, HODLing still remains the best strategy. However knowing when to sell and having an exit strategy is one thing almost everyone has to consider.

This is a nice way no need to keep a tab on markets price movement, way less stressful.

Yeah, thanks sir. that’s actually one reason why i devised it this way is to almost completely avoid market stress.

I am thinking of falling in your footsteps. I already got a receding hairline don't need any more stress

Thanks for sharing! - @rehan12

That is quite some strategy! I liked the way you set up the plan for the coming months. Of course many things can change but this way your assets will grow in one or another and you will survive as well. Excellent post!

You have a very good plan! I already reblogged your post. I will refer to it and create my plan as well.
About the card sell, I would suggest you to to sell the unuse cards once you get it.
The card price is normally higher than 10 DEC. If you sell it, you have higher SPS drop point and get higher SPS everyday.
So there is no point to wait 6 months to sell the unuse cards, right?

In another hand, do you have any plan to use some DEC to buy good cards and lease them in the renting market. It's a good passive incoming source as well :)

Thanks for the reblog bro. You’re right about the dec/cards. So yeah in essence my plan involves selling dec in 2 stages first from card sales and the next from daily grind.

Buying cards is what i used to do, i dont rent them out as i have limited budget. And at the moment i find the good cards very expensive to rent out let alone own them. My plan is to spend more on the upcoming pack this month.

Hey friend, good day to you.. ehmm.. You are going to sell your SPS every month, what about the card packs? you don't want to buy the chaos legion packs on the pre-sale? shouldn't you wait until the pre-sale at least?

good day to you as well friend. i won't sell sps every month, my plan is to sell sps at the course of every 5 months, and between those months sell other tokens.
as for the legion packs. i have set aside my own money for it. so i am definitely going after those packs.

oh ok ok, I get it now lol. good plan then.. ^^,
