$20 to $50 for VOUCHERs was always unrealistic in my mind. You may see them spike again towards the end, but there are going to be FIFTEEN MILLION Chaos Legion packs coming on the market. More power to anyone paying that much for these early VOUCHERs but I sold mine. And will probably continue to sell them if the price stays over 20 HIVE per ticket.

Coupled with the fact that the initial hype is going to wear off is the fact that another 33,333 VOUCHERs are released into circulation EVERY DAY. That's a half a million dollars worth of cards at $15 per VOUCHER; $666k at $20. If I get one VOUCHER per day and I can sell it for $20 then that means I will be able to buy 150 packs later FOR FREE. Sure I miss out on the first round of potential promo cards, but with only 30 packs, my odds of getting one weren't all that great anyway. Personally, it feels like my odds will be much greater with 150 packs, again, without putting in any new money. That's $600 I can use to buy the cards I actually want once we figure out which ones are best.

I think the #splinterlands team is doing this right. The last thing they want to do is have 400,000 of the 417,000 users feel like they're being priced out of the game. The big money can do what it wants, but the little guys (myself included) are going to be able to get our share of the pie as well.

As for adding WAX....? I love the fact that they're making it Hive-Engine only. HIVE is the blockchain that makes it all work. They should be getting the "exclusive" on these things. It will only benefit the entire HIVE community to have these users forced to learn about what HIVE is if they want to participate in buying or selling their VOUCHERs. It only makes the ecosystem stronger in the long run and adds exposure to the best blockchain in existence.

In hindsight, I don't disagree with your idea that the cut-off number maybe should have been a little lower, but they also need to take care of the people that helped get them here. Without all the early contributors there wouldn't be the hundreds of thousands of users it now has. It would be nice to have it spread a little more evenly though. By the same token though, it has forced many of the bigger accounts to buy and stake 1M SPS. Not necessarily a bad thing. There's ultimately going to be 600M(?) SPS on the market I think, so unless they want it trading for pennies forever, they needed to get a bunch locked up. This helps incentivize people to do that.

Anyway, those are my thoughts. I'll continue to watch and see how things unfold. Maybe, as you said, they'll come down far enough where I forego selling and instead become a buyer. It's the market and it's crypto. Two very solid reasons anything can happen.
