This is the way it is. DEC is also worth 7 times what it was 4 months ago. This thing is going to fluctuate. There is no rug to sweep it under, this is a super successful game that has complex economics that will not necessarily stay consistent. I have played since day 1 and just from reward cards I received, I have over $20K in value. It is worth playing even if it doesn't look like it now.
