RE: The "Became a merchant" Challenge

I'm also thinking what to do with my DEC. I currently have it liquid waiting for potential price pump with mini card set coming out in 3 weeks, but it hurts having it not do anything. Additional options to what you mentioned: Trade yourself. Some resources are cheaper on hive engine than in the in-game market and if the gap is large enough, it often is worth trying. See Alpha packs for example selling for 200 hive on engine and $26-28 in in-game market. Option 2: Unlock rebellion rewards cards for sale; some of the rebellion reward cards are profitable to unlock and sell instantly with profit. The next unlock price tier starts in 2 days, so with the higher unlock price, the market prices tends to increase as well. 3rd option: Tribaldex pools. Instead of ingame pools, there are pools on tribaldex for DEC, but in order to protect the hopefully increasing DEC value, you would have to pool it with SPS which is likely to increase alongside DEC. However this pool is massive due to DAO having large stake in it, so profits are small, but better than having the DEC liquid.
