You bring up some interesting points, and being relatively new to the game (just one year in) I was previously unaware of several of them. One thing you didn't cover, though, and it concerns me even more than the possibility of Splinterlands dying - what are the odds that when regulators have their attention snagged by the SPL snafu, they wind up realizing there's this whole other thriving blockchain that they've never even heard of...and decide to regulate it out of existence?
