Splinterlands Investment Day 31.

A few short weeks ago I mentioned that putting money into a liquidity pool was a terrible return on investment.  I mentioned that the SPS/DEC pool just wasn't worth it because you were missing out on valueable vouchers.  

Guess what?  Vouchers are suspended for the moment so now what's the smart play with those SPS you get every day from the airdrop or staked SPS?

Let's look at three scenario's using the 7195 SPS that I have Staked.  It is worth $3321 USD.  Or it is worth 291,111 DEC.  

**Scenario #1** :  Stake the SPS

7195 SPS gets me 9.8 SPS/day as a staking reward.  Not bad.

**Scenario #2** :  Sell the SPS and get DEC

291,111 DEC gets me (291,111/9246)= 31.5 SPS/day
... But I'm not holding SPS and I think SPS are more valuable in the long term.

**Scenario #3** :  Keep the SPS and match with DEC in a liquidity pool.

In this way I'm still holding my SPS but now the SPS will count as if it was DEC towards my SPS airdrop rewards.  So by adding to liquidity pool instead of staking I get to keep my SPS and get 31.5 SPS/day by airdrop rather than 9.8 / day staking reward.  

**NOTE:  With a liquidity pool the SPS and DEC levels go up and down depending on market fluctuations.  Could end up with more DEC or more SPS depending on market conditions.  Luckily it's not a bad thing to have either :)**

Quick version:  **Liquidity pool for your SPS reward vs Staking your SPS reward means you are getting 3x the value from your investment.**

Side note:  Once vouchers come back I'll be stealing those SPS out of the liquidity pool for those valuable vouchers but until that time liquidity pool it is.  

Just wish I thought about this a whole lot sooner.  I wasn't thinking and have just been staking my reward daily ... silly me.... please don't make my mistake!

Where do I go for a liquidy pool?  **TRIBALDEX** maybe there are better places but I go with what I know

And if anyone is keeping track here are the daily numbers.  Mostly down for the investments but that's how things go sometimes.
