All SPS Rewards Should Come Staked
In this video, I discuss why I believe all SPS rewards should come staked. As it currently stands, SPS staking and LP rewards are the only ones that are distributed immediately while the rest are staked (ranked play, land, Nightmare packs, etc.) .
This may have been a logistical issue as staking rewards launched before any other mechanism was in place, but considering we don't want to have immediate sell pressure on the tokens I believe it would be worthwhile to consider changing it to staked rather than liquid.
This will probably require a DAO vote so I'm just putting the idea out now to take a pulse of the community. Let me know what you think.

I like having a few liquid sources of SPS so I don't have to worry about unstaking to join tournaments or pair up with my PKM in the PKM:SPS LP. That being said, I've never been an extractor of value with SPS. In fact, the only times I've really unstaked SPS was to swap for DEC to purchase more cards/packs. I'm not a risk of extraction, but I'm also likely in the minority. I still rent about 180K SPS for ranked rewards, so I don't see myself selling the loose SPS to extract at all. I just move to DEC to make card purchases.
I think, it will be important to have a few delegated SPS pools that do NOT enter the game client staked. Just my 2 cents, but I understand the arguments against it for making too liquid. I would just hope we don't punish the players by trying to hamstring the extractors.
