SPS is speculative. Many of us are involved in this experiment at a deeper level than just profit or loss. So we are putting money in it like you do in a family business. It is not that the family business always makes money, but you are a part owner in the business, so whatever happens you are in it.
That is the way many of us feel about Splinterlands. I certainly do.
I used to feel that way, but I have gotten disillusioned as I have seen things play out. I'm still pretty active in it, but it's just not meeting my expectations. I'm guessing a lot of that has to do with the overall crypto market, but I still feel like they are pricing most people out of the game.
Yes, that is a popular opinion and I do not disagree. Aggy did his best to drive the value to the ground. I like the man, but he doesn't know business. However, that is in the past, and many of us are trying to revive the game from its past mistake.
One thing I will leave you, and see if you disagree. Splinterlands is still alive after 7 years. This is literally the older web 3 game that never stopped and didn't have a scandal (even many famous games on ETH, like Axie had to re-brand). We we are the survivor. That got to have some value and brand name appeal somewhere...
That is a good point. I just wish other people would see it. Then again, HIVE has a lot going for it in general that people seem to overlook. I have a lot of assets on WAX that are worthless with zero chance of ever recovering. At least Splinterlands has that slim chance.
