but if that person used the HIVE to buy Splinterlands assets, it should be okay as it somewhat stays in the ecosystem.
To some degree it is okay. Yet, Splinterlands players have a pretty bad track record of supporting Hive itself - even though Hive (originally Steem) was a massive part of their success and keeps the transactions on Splinterlands completely free. This is why when Splinterlands wanted funding from the Hive DAO, it took some convincing. If SL players had powered up a bit over the last 7 years, especially at the SL highs, funding would have been simple.
That'll help me understand quickly what I might be dealing with, and support accordingly.
And know where to look :)
I decided to manage a 50/50 payout, and power up 25% of the converted HBD, while using the rest for SPL. Worked out great so far, I'm right where I should be, at around KE 1.65.
Sounds about right :)
Oh, thank you for that info! I didn't realize that part, I thought that it was more the other way around. They're not one, but need to support each other. I'll take that into account, thank you!
