DEC-B is catering to large whales with lands, that’s how I look at it.
I wasn’t around when land sale was on and to this day I still don’t know exactly how land will work. Looks like if you got lands you need to sink in more money to make it work. In this case DEC-B is giving a discount to large holders (self-serving is another way to look at it)
For new people, it doesn’t matter. By the time of next bull market, DEC-B becomes irrelevant because new people won’t be able to buy them, but then it will also disincentivize new investments when existing whale and DEC-B holders could easily undercut new investments thus making it unattractive for new money.
In any collectibles, the faster the releases without substantially new players just devalue and dilute everyone's holdings.
When it becomes more and more complicated, it raises the barrier to entry for new players which is counter productive.
Splinterlands is then gateway drug that got me into HIVE. I am optimistic with HIVE's future even as current apps other than Splinterlands are half-baked.
I am a bit more cautious with the direction of Splinterlands and SPS governance, my criticism of the latest proposal is that it is another example of poorly planned and poorly executed and poorly timed - what are people voting for exactly? Without knowing what is coming and how things are going to work, it is asking for blind faith.
Me either! :D
This is one of the problems I see now, where there are too many card releases, too close together.
People seem to just vote the way that think others are voting, without thinking too much about what it actually means.
