I am finding the Splinterlands learning curve steep. I finally figured out how to actually win some games. Sadly, that took some doing. However, the value of the DEC seems low in terms of making money from playing the game. However, maybe as a person becomes a better player, earnings go up? Or can you just earn by improving and selling cards? I need to do a lot more research. Now that I have figured out the game basics, I realize I don't understand the economics. Thank you for your post. It clears a few things up. Also, it highlights the potential opportunity as this game's popularity continues to soar.
