Im just over 2 weeks into Splinterlands and while I am terrible at gameplay, I am fascinated with all the possibilities the game itself brings to light. I don't fully understand the tokenomics and don't claim to be any tip of wiz but something hadn't felt right about maximizing my airdrop points so I wanted to looking into it.
I found this great SPS Airdrop Calculator online and if I'm using it right, I've found away to increase my airdrop points by about 3x when considering SPT v DEC.
I have been posting on Splintertalk this month and it is where I go to learn just about everything I can about the game. It is now my favorite Hive tribe and I want to support it. I have earned a little over 1,000 spt and I wasnt sure if I should sell it, stake it to curate and earn more, delegate it or simply leave it liquid in my account.
Whatever I do the spt will seem to count towards my airdrop points and with over 300 days left in the airdrop I'm really thankful for that. I currently earn about 3 SPS per day which is probably far less than most OG players but I still want to maximize and learn to play the game.
I'm open to hearing ideas from in the comments about the best ways to have, earn and support SPT value in the comments but what I figured out based on todays Hive-Engine prices is that at least for now, it would be more profitable to convert my SPT to DEC and triple the Airdrop Points I get for that grouping. I'm not talking about anything other than DEC or SPT here.
But 1 DEC is equal to 1 Airdrop point while 1 SPT is equal to .25 airdrop points. According to the Hive-Engine prices at the time I looked it would be smarter for me to exchange my SPT for Hive and then Buy DEC to hold for Air Drop Points
Personally, I'm only playing with 1000 SPT so at today's prices it would mean about $18 in SPS but imagine what it would mean for some with a lot of SPT who feels that the price of SPS will increase in the future? (I'm hopeful but unsure)
So unless I'm completely off my rocker, I would be making the right call for converting my 1000 SPT for DEC. Again, I'd love to hear from you in the comments. It's how I learn.
