If you’re an active Splinterlands player, then you need to buy some DEC.
Nope, never bought dec, just won it all from playing and renting out cards :-)
At this point, as I do want to get enough SPS, I also prefer to win my dec instead of buying. Although it did cross my mind.

You're right and I should probably reword that section of the blog.
You don't need DEC to play the game, but it's an integral part of playing the game.
As for stacking SPS, I have a question for you.
The tradeoff between earning SPS airdrop points from your DEC holdings and straight-up cashing your DEC in for SPS immediately, is intriguing.
So even though you want SPS, you're going down the path of holding DEC and using it to earn airdrop points.
Rather than just dumping your DEC to directly invest in the SPS token itself immediately?

Yeah it's an integral part of the game for sure, the main in-game currency I'd say.
Interesting thought about the buying SPS with dec. Let's take a quick look at that:
1000 dec is (time of writing): $7.46
That would buy you 17.86 SPS
According to SPS calculator holding 1000 dec would bring an estimate of 54 sps by the end of the airdrop and I'd still have my initial dec..
Of course I could stake the sps sooner if I buy, and it would help if I want to buy packs. But according to peakmonsters the apr is much higher for the airdrop (315.86 % DEC APR from SPS airdrop) compared to staking SPS (179.88 % Staking APR).
That's why I prefer holding the dec (most of it in LP on cub finance now to earn cub too) and stake the airdrop daily to build the SPS stack and still have the dec at the end of the ride.
This is extremely helpful.
Thanks for sharing.

You're welcome, keep in mind these numbers are subject to daily fluctuation depending on the price of dec and sps. But it gives a rough estimation what can be expected.
From what I've seen both numbers have dropped quite some compared to the start of the airdrop, time will tell how it's going to develop.
