I have the same concerns as you. As far as the flywheel, I believe the missing component is there are not enough true DEC sinks to hold up the second half of the flywheel (demand for DEC). If we had more things that players WANT to spend DEC on; like cosmetics instead of taxes, I think we would see a positive response in token prices.
On the positive side, I think Dave is doing a fantastic job since becoming COO and is moving things in the right direction.
Thank you for the compliment @unitmaster!
You're welcome! Didn't think you would see that but I'm glad you're reading the post. Enjoyed hearing you on @thepeoplesguild podcast recently!
I try to read as much as I can so that I can help to address misperceptions, hear constructive feedback, and of course to find great ideas that we can implement!
Thank you again UM for being positive, and I will say its pretty easy to have fun with the JimmyJangles vibe they put on. BAM! :)
