SPS or Splintershards is the governance token of Splinterlands. It's current uses includes staking to receive SPS and voucher and for entry to tournaments. There is also a minimum SPS staked requirement in some tournaments to be eligible to enter.

There is a limited supply of 3,000,000,000 SPS and currently you can obtain some via airdrops if you are holding DEC, you have enough collection power, etc. https://sps.splinterlands.com/airdrop https://sps.splinterlands.com/distribution.
Over the past few days, I have been contemplating on what to do with my SPS and DEC. I am considering converting my DEC to SPS and stake it. I am also considering converting my SPS from airdrop to DEC to receive more airdrop rewards. DEC will eventually return to its intended value of 1000 ~ 1$ which is why it is better to hold SPS in the long run compared to holding DEC. However, I feel like DEC has more value while airdrop is happening.
I may not have much currently but this is what I can afford to lose.
Right now SPS is sitting at support and I am waiting for it to break upwards or downwards to make my decision. If it breaks upwards, then I might convert some of my other coins to SPS. If it breaks downwards then I'll just wait and see where it goes.
I am also considering converting my DEC to credits just before general sale to buy packs or cards.
Comment your thoughts as they will also help me decide. Even though I have no concrete plans as of now, I know for a fact that I will continuously play this game as not only is it enjoyable, it is also rewarding us with real money.
