Greatly appreciate you breaking this down and explaining other aspects that I don't see and most likely others don't see. As players/investors we just see card values down, DEC still not pegged and what feels like a constant too high of an injection of new SPS into the system and other assets with a playerbase and value that doesn't support all of the new injection.

I will agree it is better but it feels like to me we are extracting still and not putting back in.

One thing I often don't hear talked about is how much does splinterlands make outside of sales? Through market fees on trading cards, swaps for land assets, land sales and other item sales? It's 5% right or how does that work? My assumption is they should be make at least a fair amount from these fees and if we can get to a point where asset prices start increasing that should mean more trading and more fee value being collected. Those fees can help put buy pressure on SPS or extract excessive amounts of DEC etc. I'd be curious of a better business breakdown of this perhaps each month.

I do like how we have a running DAO at least being posted amount assets in it etc. I think that brings a lot of transparency for every day users that don't know or don't want to sift through blockchain data.
