Firstly, if you're unsure of what SCV token is please take a look at 
So the main reason I am investing in SCV is because I believe in the power of community run projects. This is why not only did my team and I create Splinterlands Community Validator token, but also the reason why I'm also investing in the token with a little of my own funds.
If you use wax and stake some on CPU then you will notice that the "wax community" is always in the top 5 validators for the network. The reason for this is that the validator is owned and voted on by the community at large and with the backing of the
As you'll be aware of when using any pos chain you will want to ensure that there is a wide variety of validators to vote on. This shows you that there are many people readily running nodes and indicates a diversification of power on voting rights etc. The more people, communities, orgs running nodes the better it is for everyone involved and is one of the reasons I'm investing a little of my own funds.
If you are planning to purchase your own license then there is absolutely no reason why you shouldn't also be purchasing SCV to diversify your holdings and stake in the network.
If you can not afford to purchase your own license and pay to run the necessary hosting with over 95% uptime guarantees then SCV token is perfect for you!
At the price of 0.01 hive per SCV almost anyone can afford to own a few and take part in the running of the "Splinterlands Community Validator" license.
