is it worth it to rise in rank?

Hey guys
As stated in my previous posts, I have little splinterlands time.

In this time I've been trying to absorb as much information as possible to make me grow even more in the game...

as you know, to climb each rank you need a minimum power and you should also know that you can rent cards to raise this power quickly and cheaply (if you want, I have a post that contains a video explaining how to do this automatically) but what few people know is whether it's worth investing in rents to get out of the bronze...
well, i'll leave my experience and hope it helps a little.

I noticed that the game keeps decreasing more and more the amount of DEC you earn in each game, reaching the point of earning less than 1 DEC for each game in bronze 1, even with more than 1500 points and 60%+ rate...

I then decided to invest some DEC and move up to silver 3 and that significantly increased my DEC gain, offsetting my investment a lot... plus the fact that there are better rewards when opening chests in silver...

now I have doubts, is it worth going up to gold? please leave in the comments what you think and your experiences...

thanks and good game :)
