Right now, at least it serves the purpose of getting the posts that have more effort put into them in the trending page so those that visit splintertalk.io at least are presented with something decent enough. The actual value of the coin mostly comes from the speculation of a further use case which I'm quite sure will come making it now the zone of maximum opportunity for SPT imo.
I guess one of the questions that needs to be asked is if it would be best to give SPT a peg similar to DEC for in-game purchases or not and at what rate. This alone would give it an instant use-case for the game. There is just far from enough volume to accept it in the game as a regular currency based on the current price.
I like the idea to introduce skins and cosmetic items in the game that are also given out as part of the rewards and have no monetary value or extra benefits aside from making the look more diverse and personal for each user (similar to how Fortnite skins are a multi-billion dollar market).
I guess similar to all large SPT holders, I wouldn't mind for the inflation to be cut down or a heavy burn function to be implemented. Overall the values right now for the biggest paid posts in SPT are still rather low. a 10k SPT post payout which only comes down to 1.25$ (after curation rewards). If anything, it shows how cheap SPT is now. I'm almost fomoing myself into buying more :)
