Great job, @aggroed! I'm reading your posts religiously now, as I am seeing the value in them more and more as I "go deeper" into the game. On a (bit of a) whim -- actually, the "last straw" was when word went around my "DEC Hunters" guild that my buddy @forever-crypto hit the "Prince Julian" card (Gold (summoner_ - Level 4 - $20,000 USD (list price) - 23,108,030.040 DEC), and in combination with the fact that we get 75 free packs with the 500 (+75) ***Untamed" promo pack batch I just decided to go "all in". I had a bit of "buyer's remorse" after doing this (especially as some people have given feedback that ROI of the Untamed promo packs is not worth it), but since I've been following a strategy (outlined in my ongoing series) of gradually moving BTC off of Coinbase (taking some profit on BTC which I bought at $200 - $400/BTC back in 2013-14) and putting that BTC value into something more "kinetic", I have been trying to sort out in my mind whether this has been a prudent decision. Your analytic posts are helping me feel more at ease. The other thing we need to consider is the VERY REAL income we receive (in DEC) from won battles - ESPECIALLY with the "gold promo" cards. I mean, that is essentially "DEC dividend" income which can be calculated against the cost of the packs. have you factored this into your above calculations? Man, just by throwing the "Furious Chicken" (Gold - Level 3 (or higher) - $4.15 USD) into each battle (where there is room) we are getting a JUICY 10% bonus/dividend, and that is not even a "gold promo". So, my point is that when you factor in the "DEC dividend" it's a no-brainer. I'm now opening two packs per day, with 454 packs remaining (as of writing this comment). I have found that a gradual pack-opening process of ideal (compared to opening in one shot), especially now that I laid down a good foundation of Untamed cards with the first 100 (+10) pack batch I bought during the first round of the pre-sale. Also, being able to now buy the potions in "+1" increments was an EXCELLENT move, because now I can play several battles each day to earn enough DEC to top-up my potions to cover the two Untamed packs, PLUS the rewards cards (which I believe we SHOULD apply potions to, because you WILL hit some JUICY gold and legendary rewards cards which will GREATLY offset the daily cost of the potions for those. I am also now ramping up my effort on Twitter of sharing posts related to #splinterlands, and other "blockchain gaming" innovations. Man, I have been having a rough period in my life this past year, and this game has LITERALLY been a major "archor" keeping me afloat, motivated and productive. So cheers to you on that. Keep up the great work. I think the way forward is to continue harnessing the "wisdom/talent of the crowd" as ALL of the players can assist in bringing this game forward to the masses, and then we ALL win in the grander scheme of things..
