DEC Stacking (+5,000) and the Future of my SPS Holdings

Dark Energy Crystals (DEC token) is the in-game currency token for Splinterlands play-to-earn game. DEC is earned through gameplay or by sacrificing unworthy cards in your collection, and then use them to buy all sorts of great items in the Splinterlands shop!. Besides the usecase as a reward toke for Splinterlands gameplay, DEC holding by investors is a passive earning option among Splinterlands investment alternatives.

HODling DEC in your Hive-engine wallet affords a HODLers 1:1 airdrop points for SPS. Before now, I had personally undermined the huge passive investment potential in DEC token, perhaps, I would have sealed my SPS goal by now.

SPS is becoming a very scarce token in the Play-to-earn world especially as the daily airdrop is coming to an end in about 60 days, thus, meaning that the daily SPS supply would reduce drastically. Just few days ago, 18 Mil SPS was Burned following 2,000 Validator Licenses sold. This depicts a huge future for the Splinterlands governance token, hence, earning it free in the few days of airdrop is priceless.

For me, holding DEC in liquid form is the best option to earn from the pool of free SPS airdropped daily. This informs my growth in DEC purchase. Yesterday, I bought more 5,000 DEC in two tranches and this brings my DEC holding to 25,000.

My strategy is to swap my SPT curation returns to SWAP.HIVE to DEC. presently, SPT and DEC prices are almost equal and that gives me a better way to compound my Splintertalk curation returns.

Even when I am not an active Splinterlands player, I am maximizing the passive earning opportunities while they last while I negotiate my way into active participation in the top play-to-earn game on Hive.

Every SPS earned would be staked to earn the over 48% APY staking returns. More exciting is the fact that SPS can be staked on PolyCUB DeFi as pSPS for a 117% APY staking return. With the growing number of ways of compounding our play-to-earn assets on Hive, one has the leverage of taking the most convenient route.

Providing deep liquidity for SPS on PolyCUB means more exposure of Splinterlands game and assets to the Polygon users, and that could lead a sweet price grin in the long run.

Every step that helps to increase my chances of hitting my SPS goal is worthy to take. HODLing more DEC is a cool option for me. I'm resolute in reaching 5,000 SPS by the end of the year 2022 and that would require consistency in action and decision to daily improve my DEC holdings.

Now, what is your strategy for increasing your SPS airdrop points?
