The rollout of DEC was a HUGE move which has allowed people like me, who were struggling with "SteemMonsters burnout" to have a significant incentive to play the game outside of the quests. Then being able to sell DEC for upvotes was a HUGE move forward as we can now integrate the FRUITS of our gameplay into the larger Steem token economy (via SteemEngine). This has been my experience in the past month, and I have written in detail about this in my ongoing series : https://steemit.com/steemmonsters/@transcript-junky/steem-monsters-drug-wars-power-strategy-tips-19 Great job you're doing!
