A New Era For Splinter lands

Today marks a new day for Splinterlands one in which no longer is SPS being airdropped and a new kick in SPS rewards across the board to be implemented into the game. There's a number of interesting things to watch at least for myself in the coming weeks and months to shape the future of Splinter lands and what's next for crypto and the game itself.

What's Next

Below are my feelings on what's next for Splinter lands in the near and long term.

Short term it's going to be interesting to watch the price of DEC with the changes to the reward pools, the airdrop being over, liquidity pools added and currently being able to buy about $2 worth of DEC to buy a $4 pack from the store. We could see a massive run on Chaos packs over the next few days which leads up to some great airdrop cards.

Long term we will see the introduction of land and how that will plat an effect on the general markets including value of land, passive income from land and possible rentals of land and a increase in rentals of cards to work those lands. However that of course come into account as to how many cards and packs get sold in future runs.

Bear Or Bull?

Many say we are in a bear market and I would agree with that. I believe we are coming up on nearly a year of being in that bear market come October/November as that's when the crypto markets started to slump and slump heavily. However there's some key points and @aggroed (pardon the tag but wanted to give credit) touched base on this during the Splinter lands Townhall today (twitch)

Even though we see ourselves in a bear market the general feeling I get including others is the value and hype for crypto is still there. Attendance at crypto such events are still high at least in the play2earn and gaming space which to be has always been one of the key areas to adopt people into crypto that makes sense with ownership of assets. It really feels like a natural progression of the gaming space which otherwise became very stagnant a few years before the crypto boom.

So while yes we are in a bear market I feel we are building up for a mega bull run at some point as the passion and desire is still there along with the very real potential of what this will all be.

SPS

While many speculate the value of SPS to increase there are many factors that go into this. For one I don't expect for it to be a one off moon shot. Instead I see it as a slow progression over time. The emissions has now been reduced but the same amount of demand is currently there. However that demand is about to increase this year with the introduction of packs that can only be bought with SPS. SPS also sounds like it will have airdrops with other assets the Splinter lands team gets involved with OUTSIDE of Splinter lands (at least we caught a little wind of that during the Town hall today but I expect that to be a ways off) We also know that SPS will plat a critical part in lands. How? It's unclear at the moment but all of these things over time start to put more demand and want on the SPS token which again emissions have been reduced and will continue to reduce.

I don't expect the value of SPS to double in the next month but I do see it slowly increasing in value as we move through this year. Of course if the crypto markets push into a bull market we could almost bet to see the price of SPS go up as well but at that point it doesn't matter what you invested in for the most part it's going up lol.
