We've heard a lot about the splinterlands flywheel effect.
It's the big hope from the team to skyrocket the game back to the top of the pile.
- Increase $SPS
- Increase in card prices.
- Increase in players.
- Increase across all assets.
But is it realistic??

I'm not sure if it will actually happen but the theory behind it is sound. If you can get positive momentum behind the $SPS token then everything in the eco-system becomes more valuable and therefore more appealing to users.
There are so many ways to earn the token but the easiest is to win battles.

I have five wins here at 2 SPS which is 10SPS or at current prices $0.28.
At 10c this becomes $1 for five battles. That's $1 that i can use to buy more cards, packs or other assets from the game.
My team won it's last brawl,
The guild has won spoils of 53 Crowns in the latest brawl! Also, each fully participating member was awarded 3,313 Merits and 30.604 staked SPS.
Again that's 90c or if the price of SPS rose to 10c then $3.00.
And these are all small numbers from a medium account. My land has produced 193 SPS in the past four days or $5.40.
At 10c that's $19 or at $1 becomes $193.

What do you think will happen to the price of land and cards if you can print $200 every four days? I don't even have half my plots up and running. It's not worth it with my current cards and current resources but if prices keep rising it will be.
If people want a piece of this and we know how greedy people get in crypto then they will need to buy land, cards, dec. It might seem like there are too many resources out there but if we doubled the active userbase it would disappear very fast. We saw that in the last bull run.
- Old cards would go up in price.
- Rentals would go up in price.
- This would push up the price of cards again.
- Pack sales would increase.
- Land, licenses, battles, brawls, tournaments.
DEC would be in serious demand and the easiest way to get it is to burn SPS. That is the flywheel and it wouldn't take much to get there.
The question is whether we can or not.
No better time than a bull run to kick it off but the team need to have prepared for new users and make it as easy and fun as possible to get started and to bring money into the game.
