RE: [ENG/ITA] What Should I Do? Providing Liquidity, Buying Cards or CA Packs?

Nice work on getting yourself in a passive income situation ! , this truly is the amazing part of Splinterlands.
Thanks for the link to the RoI tool, I didn't know about that one, looks like it will be useful.
For what it's worth, I'd combine the LP's and buying targeted cards to rent, packs are a gamble and your best outcome on average will be two rares in a pack. I think targeted buying will be the better option.
As for the LPs, Grain is definitely a good long term move. Why not hedge your bets and put some into each pool ?, I think all resources will be in demand and I can see a time when there are a few more demands for resources. Already we have gone from Grain to feed workers ( and that's not going away), to a basket of resources needed for Research, SPS and now Aura. The repair of rebellion wagons will add more demand ( Wood heavy maybe ?), and I am sure Cryptomancer is in full flow, each development seems to be adding demand for resources.
And cards !, they will be your backbone for years to come, Rebellion is looking like it might be a relatively scarce set. I wonder what your return on an unopened Rebellion pack might be in a few months if you can grab a bargain on the market. I see some for 4,450 DEC atm, 10% to 20% in a month or two may not be too far a stretch. I can see pack liquidity drying up as packs may be taken off the market and staked on wagons for airdrops
I just realized I've tagged the wrong user in the post 🤣 you were the user I was referring to, as you were the first one talking to me about the idea of putting my DEC into the LPs.
Buying packs seems the option less appreciated by everyone, and I can see why: gambling with very few packs is very risky and I might end with cards worth a fraction of what I've spent to get them.
Do you think it would be worth even if I have very few DEC? Just a few thousands.
Rebellion and Conclave Arcana packs and cards might be a very good investment right now, and I'm very tempted to keep buying cards just to eventually flip a few of them when (and if) their price rise.
Thanks! I'm so happy to look at my DEC balance growing while I don't have to do nothing!
All of the LP's are earning fees, but looking at my pools right now, stone is earning me the highest return, followed by wood, then Iron and grain is last.
I'm still building up grain as well though, as this is going to be my backup stockpile for the future if I switch any grain producing land to other things. Your fees are paid in the resource and DEC added back into the pool, so your stockpile will grow over time
With the new system of inter region transfers putting all resource movement via the LPs instead of a flat game tax, I think we will see fees go up as trade volume gets a boost.
The good thing about building your savings up in the LP's is that you can get it back quickly, but bear in mind that withdrawals sooner than 30 days incur a 10% fee, but the good thing is that when you go to withdraw it tells you what % of your pool is under 30 days, so you can limit your % removal to stay above the fee threshold
