How do you guys stay hopeful?

I truly believe in XRP and Ripple and that it has amazing potential to transform the financial ecosystem but how do you guys still believe it's going to moon? I have a lot invested in XRP and could really use the money I have right now but I'm really using all of my strength to hold. It just seems like nothing they do affects the price. No matter what great news comes out, new partnerships, etc nothing moves except downward. I'm really trying to hold onto the dream I had a few years ago but every day that passes I'm just losing hope. What keeps you guys from selling, what keeps you guys hopeful at this point? I almost sold all of what I have today but I stopped myself because I would be selling at a loss and really don't want to do that. Would appreciate some insight of what to look out for or what keeps you guys going.

Literally how do you find the light dragon ..

My wife and I have spent the last 2 hours going around the map trying to find this bitch. Ever since she came down after the last tear we have not been able to find her, we've been going to every tower in her path counter clockwise and clockwise and cannot find her. We know about the Korok forest quest but really don't want to go into the depths for a marker that will only let us find her one time. Please help, I'm losing my mind.

Leather goods wholesaler?

Hello everyone! I am brand new to this industry and literally just getting started. I am looking for a reliable wholesaler with good prices for leather keychains, wallets, card holders, stuff like that. Do you guys know of anyone? The few I've found involve filling out tax forms and stuff like that but I'm just looking for something a little more simple than that. Would appreciate any insight or tips from this community. Thank you everyone!

I just sent support a whole rant on the state of the game, let me hear your thoughts on this situation or if I'm just wrong

Like the title said, I just sent this message to support. I'd like to hear the communities thoughts on these topics and hope that maybe someone from Scopely sees this too.

"I don't know if this will ever go anywhere that really matters to make any kind of change but the changes to the character releases and the passes is straight up ruining the game.

Starting with the passes, the first change being the 4X markup on the strike pass was completely unnecessary. Yes I know that there was "better rewards" being unlocking Angel but this price range is way too much for the average player that used to buy only the passes. Sure it's a better deal for unlocking characters early but the majority of people don't buy the passes for that reason, it's to keep up with resources to level the characters and get SOME extra shards of characters. And on top of that, the pass wasn't even longer to account for the extra weeks it has been live, I've been sitting on a completed strike pass for over 2 weeks now. There was no reason to change the way characters are unlocked by throwing an $80 price on them and gating out the small spenders.

Then the new battle pass came out and I took one look at the rewards and said, "NOPE", the value of the battle pass was cut by over half with the same $20 price. Why would anyone pay the same price for less than half of the rewards. The economy has already been broken and impossible to keep up with all of the new characters and the passes were a way to be able to bridge that gap but now even those are worthless or inaccessible to the average player.

Additionally, with all of these horrible changes to resources, price tags, and character releases, the FTP releases of characters seem to have stopped along with that. How have we not had a FTP release for High Evolutionary yet? We are 2 teams removed from that at this point and there's still no FTP release. The only way to unlock the characters is from the seasonal shop which requires the majority of the seasonal currency to do so, so now I can't spend it on GT20.

Why did you have to mess with a system that wasn't broken, the passes were great at the $20 price point with the rewards they contained. The previous way to unlock characters by using power cores was great, the FTP releases were great. You are alienating the community between big spenders and FTP players, there's no longer a middle ground of small spenders. And the experience of a FTP player right now is miserable between the extreme lack of resources and unlocking characters. Something needs to change and go back to how it used to be before you lose a majority of your community. The game isn't fun anymore, it's just stressful. I hope someone of importance hears this and actually implements some kind of change or I'm probably gonna call it quits soon.

Thanks for listening to my rant, I hope this message can have some kind of impact."

Question about SN prices

So something I've never quite understood is how some of these SNs will go from being worth basically nothing, all the way up to like 500+ TAO down to nothing in a split second. How and why does this happen?

I'm new to bittensor, what do you think of my subnet choices?

I'm just getting into this new ecosystem and I'm loving it so far. It's easily the most fun trading space with infinite potential. I want to get some advice from more experienced people on my subnet choices and if I'm "doing this right". If there's any that I've chosen that are terrible or if I'm missing out on some really good ones I would greatly appreciate your input. Thanks everyone :)
