What is DEC ?
DEC is the abbreviation for Dark Energy Crystals. They are the official in game currency of Steem-Monsters/Splinterlands. We earn DEC via game play.
We have plenty of options and fun ways to use our DEC and I suspect more fun ways to be on the way.
So far we have:
- DEC Bot
- DEC Potions
- DEC Skins
- DEC Tournaments
- DEC Orbs
With all these options to use our DEC on do we have any hodler's ? I for one plan on holding at least until I get enough for the two 100% potions and 100+10 orb promo. Even then I may decide to not to let go of my DEC as Guilds are right around the corner and that may increase the value (Not Financial Advice).
So I pose the question: What are you doing with your DEC, are you a HODLER or a SPENDER ?

Sell some, buy orbs with some. Trying to save up enough for daily rewards one.
Do you mean the gain extra rewards one or the "mystery potion" where we don't know what the reward is going to be.
Yup. It could be useful.
I'm definitely holding my DEC. It's definitely not high enough yet but whatever I have. If you are interested join @zaku giveaway contest. He distributes 1000 DEC everyday to lucky winners. I never won though. Luck isn't my thing. Try your luck.

Yes, I noticed @zaku cool contest.
Holding is what I plan on doing as well.
Thanks mate for the mention , appreciate that you like my giveaways .
Thanks for the giveaways. I like them.

holding onto it so i can buy something cool! I just got back into it so building up my DEC's. i was not even aware there was DSP's how do you check this?
@chekoler I just asked you the same thing this morning!
I'm holding as well, potions call be found in the shop on the official SM/SP site.
I'm.a hodler all the way mate!!!

Nice, I'm holding as well.
Good on you mate!!

I'm hodl-ing and investing in DEC. I'm on HODL!
I bought DEC at Steem engine and equally delegated SP to earn DEC though I have recently undelegated because the reward is very minimal lol
I was getting about 200DEC daily for 750DSP. You would agree with me that one can earn more than this amount with just a single victory lol
Posted using Partiko Android
I haven't delegated any either. I don't see much benefit to doing so for smaller accounts because as you said one can earn the same amount of DEC in battle and keep our SP.
Yeah, just that I delegated a few hours after the announcement was made and I wasn't expecting the rewards to be this small :)
Posted using Partiko Android
U guys are right. I have delegated 50 sp which gets me about 15-25 decs per day. Nothing really when I make more than twice in a game. Will prolly be removing it one of these days
Oh I have done all kinds of things with DEC, but I am not a holder.
Every chance I get I spend it :D
I have bought so many orbs I can't even count them all, and I always got some mystery potions rolling for me.
I got Legendary and Gold Foil potions active at all times
I have burned 2 GF Legendaries and 3 GF Epics and countless Reward cards.
Sometimes I sell dec to buy some cards that I need to level up.
Are you using the potions with your orbs, if so how is that working out for you ?
What GF Legendaries did you burn ?
Idk if you know how the potions work, but it automatically uses it on anything you open.
I would love to only use the potions on beta packs and orbs, but unfortunately it automatically uses them on reward cards aswell.
I burned GF Ruler of the Sea and GF Angel of Light (By the way I opened both of these myself on my 2nd account)
I wasn't planning on burning the Angel of Light at first, but I just felt the luck on day and went for it and bought many orbs (60,000 DEC worth of) other DEC went into potions.
It would be nice to have an option that allows us to choose if we want to use our potions or not.
Yeah, but I guess it would be too OP
If you see that it's going to be a legendary you would just always use a gold potion on it, and only use legendary potions on common cards.
True, I momentarily forgot that we can tell what rarity a card is before we flip.
I'm hodling DEC

Man it's hard to decide with decs. So many use cases. But so far I'm mostly holding and using the bot. I also baught an orb once but thats about it. I feel like trying some potions one of these days tho.
I'm tempted to buy some potions as well but I rather wait until I have 500 Orb cards to open instead of using the potion on reward cards.
I believe in holding for now. Steem is young and so are the coins on it, given a bit more time I think we will see a mass adoption of the market, then will be the time to sell.
Good point and I hope your prediction is correct.
Upvoted!
Thank you for making me aware of Splinterlands. So hard to keep track of everything lol.
Thanks for the upvote,
there is certainly allot going on and it can get hard to keep up with everything.
It's a mix for me. I used to spend all of my DECs the first few days. Bought the potions, some orbs, stemmonsters upvotes, and even exchanged some for STEEM. But now I've started HODLing them. I only take a portion out if I need to buy steemmonsters upvotes or pay for card delegations.
Nice, can't go wrong with mixing it up.
True. I'm a moderate risk kind of person, so I don't want to put it all in one basket.
At first I was selling all my earned DEC for Steem on Steem Engine. Now I must Hodl to keep up with the rest, lol.
I'm holding as well, slowly but surely I will be a DEC millionaire.
I hodled mine until I had enough for both potions and then bought the anniversary deal to use them on. So far the results have not been brilliant and I wonder whether the increase is so small as to not be statistically significant.
I don't think I'd bother with the legendary one another time but I might buy another gold one.
I'm not sure but for now I'm hodling again while I decide. 😁
There was a graph based on math that showed the ROI of using the potions. I searched for it but sadly couldn't find it but its out there somewhere.
I didn't see that one but I read an article that said it was worth using them on the orbs and the beta packs but not so much the rewards. So I saved up. 😁
I've been spending them on quest and mystery potions.
They typical mystery rewards are orbs, beta packs, and a reward card. Obviously you are kinda hoping for the pack or orb every day...and gold.... lots of gold.
Nice, I don't plan on deciding what to do with mine until I hit 300,000. I have thought about buying that mystery potion as I like a good gamble.
I was playing steemmonsters and stopped for awhile, so I did not know about this. I don't have any DEC, and thank you for letting me know what it is since I see others talking about it. If I have some, I would probably hold it in the game until it got to a good amount and then figure it out. This is what I am doing with all other random tokens I have now.
That's exactly what I'm doing as well. DEC is earned via playing ranked battles based on Card selection (Alpha/Gold Earn more) and league rank.
Nah.... I’ve been burning cards like a madman and buying up orbs. .... then burning those unless they are epic or higher. I have to admit introducing DEC was a great way to get people engaged in the in game economy a bit more. I have found that SM has taken me away from posting but also has been incredibly enjoyable as a way to kill time. I’d love to see it available as a mobile app someday in truth. But for now when I do play I burn what I can get then spend the DEC. I may start saving eventually, but for now it’s just to much fun. :)
The founders are working on a mobile app among other things like guilds.
I'm definitely in favor of saving and kicking gold in the future. I'm not going to spend any DECs
Nice, I'm saving as well !

@rentmoney, I am converting DEC into Steem. Hope that you will going to use DEC effectively and inturn it will give you productive results.
This comment was made from https://ulogs.org
Nice, turning it into Steem sounds like a great option to me.
👍👍
How can I get more of it? and whats the benefit of this ?
DEC can be collected via playing the game Steem-Monsters or can be purchased on the Steem-Engine exchange.
Don't feel bad but this game require the 10$ entry fee to purchase the card first which is not easy for everyone.
This is true but one can collect / sell and trade without purchase.
How can i do that?

Participate in giveaways to collect free cards or sell them on the market / No purchase needed.
Was never really into DECS,
there was this one time in college though.
I was hodling but now I am planning to spend it soon.
I don't have some now but if I did, would probably hold it
I'm a card HODLer. The cards have more chance to go up in value IMHO. So I use every DEC I make into buying Orbs and Packs .
It is wise to hold both cards and DEC.
Peace
