I think the amount of DEC is larger than people give it credit for. Its about $15k a month at peg, so that's almost $180k a year. That is almost an entire month of runway, so the conservativeness in me wants to do things that can keep us stronger for longer.
I look at this like the players in the leaderboard (and my account thebadwitch is almost every season in the leaderboard too) are getting their earnings in DEC and then buying the Rebellion packs. So while its a sacrifice for now by not earning liquid rewards of DEC that are easier sold, its replacing that DEC with packs that the team and DAO have.
I feel like this doesn't have to be a permanent thing, but until we get an "all clear" that we are in growth mode again, I personally want us to focus on protecting the future. Removing fear of failure will go a long way towards that mission, and once its done then that will give us the greatest reward of all, a bull market in all of our assets.
I hope you understand SCH. I appreciate the dialogue and hopefully by the time the leaderboards get reworked so that many of the problems are fixed, then we can add back these packs or Yaba made something even cooler that we can earn. That applies to both leaderboards and loot boxes.
