Great article!!
Regarding the large DEC burnt in Jun to Aug, I agree is largely due to FOMO of the Dice Packs, but I think the sharp drop following is also due to the high value of DEC as people are more reluctant to spend DEC on guild buildings. When DEC value was low, people were willing to spend Fiat buying DEC to upgrade guild buildings. As majority of people still value crypto in Fiat, when DEC value shot up, people were more reluctant to spend like $1,000 to upgrade guild buildings. Coupled with DEC being the best way to get SPS airdrops, people were just less willing to spend it in-game.
Maybe something you can also include in your analysis is how much DEC was transferred out of the game, as the higher DEC value will encourage more people to cash in their profits as well.
