and if I am honest with you I have thought about completely selling out

I have thought about this as well. I still believe that splinterlands has great potential but at the same time I want to have much more HBD. But so far I have not done this. It would be a shame to quit after all these years. Also slinterlands posts earn me the most Hive/ HBD . So I am not sure if I want to sell my splinterlands assets.
