Let me start by showing off one of the interesting facts about HIVE gaming. This will not be unexpected by any means. We are mostly dependent on a single entity to carry out the DAPP statistics on HIVE gaming. We are talking about what was the #1 DAPP in the world for a long time. We have seen decline in the amount of active accounts after the recent Reward Update. This is still a great move for the future as we are building a better economy for the game.

Loosing Users Can Mean Better Business

There were many accounts which were not contributing much to the game economy. Note that I do not distinguish between bots and real players. Banning bots is a centralized solution to poor design. So far I am glad to see @aggroed and @yabapmatt have not taken this route. Instead they have improved the system which has caused a massive loss in active accounts. The ongoing bear market could be playing a part here in addition to Reward changes.

16X Multiplier is Worth The Effort

If I were simply getting DEC the way I used to under the old system, I would be at a massive loss. I have not run the math yet. Based on my observations, I should be earning at least as much or potentially more through Daily Quests (Focus) and the major difference here is made by that 16X multiplier for DEC Rewards. The added boost for Legendary and Gold Foil should eventually pay off as 0.03072% Diamond Chests having Legendary Gold Foil Cards. That is roughly 3 in every 10,000 and I will be earning 100+ Diamond Chests each Season at the current rate.

DEC Under $0.001 is Guaranteed Profit

I have a history of making very bold claims about DEC and being very right about them while profiting greatly. If you followed my blog, you should have come across the same kind of trading/investing opportunities as I shared them almost real time.

This is a very old trick that goes to the ancient times and promises made. @splinterlands allow players to purchase from the shop (not the market) with DEC with a price floor of $0.001 per DEC. As long as you intend to invest in @splinterlands this is either a discount or a quick profit depending on how you want to look at it.

Best Deal Was Already Missed

Those who bought in early enough managed to catch even better prices. Whatever the difference between the buying price and $0.001 is a discount/profit.

You can use these cheap DEC to make your purchases or wait for DEC to pump and reach higher prices as it was during the period of massive influx of users we had along with Chaos Legion. It is as if you have a stablecoin that can actually go up like a regular cryptocurrency but with a floor price (under the condition that you plan to invest in @splinterlands)

Happy Investing! Happy Gaming!
