The core crypto that Splinterlands runs on is likely the one that is not really part of the game such as Hive. Hive is the blockchain the game runs on but the tokens in game used are DEC and SPS.
Hive is now at an all time low as its under $0.05 by purchasing more one can influence the blockchain that much more with proposals to vote and support.
Link below are current proposals with sufficient support to operate on Hive blockchain.

Another fascinating take is SPS staked will give similar powers but in terms of the game's proposal.
I have staked over 157k SPS and hopefully will increase my stake to have more voting power towards the proposals I support. As my SPS stake ranks me in the top 1,000 players in game.
There is more to owning the tokens than voting power and they include earning yield for staking the specific tokens. A form of investing as interest can be accrued.
These yields are much higher than typical US bank interest but in terms of vlaue of token it needs to appreciate in value in order for this to benefit holders. Long term if token prices maintain price and even go higher it will be a big win for those who are buyers now. Are you buying?
