This came as a huge surprise to me. I have been observing the worth of my splinterlands account I was surprised to see it touch 10,000$ last week but to my surprise, it has now reached 20,000$ in just 10 days' time. This means that the account worth has doubled in almost 10 days' time. I'm now wondering what would it be if this keeps continuing.
I notice that the price of DEC has also increased in the last 10 days and it is still continuing to skyrocket. In addition to that people are also purchasing SPS tokens from the market and all other splinterlands related assets from the market to get more SPS drop. I have also been staking the SPS earnings that I have received so far. I don't want to have any nail-biting moments after SPS pumps and I sit without any SPS with me. So, I'm trying to keep all the SPS safe for now. We don't know what the team would come up with to keep the FOMO going.
The above two screenshots are the values from today and 12 days back. If you notice it has almost doubled. I have not even made any new investments into the game or did I get any jackpot in pack opening or loot chest opening. My account has been staying idle for quite some time with the same set of cards. I couldn't even upgrade any of the cards considering the price of the cards.
Looks like the price of the cards in the market is going to stay like this for at least a few more months or even until we get SPS drops. There are so many new players getting added to the game and are investing huge money into the game. I don't even know if there are enough cards available for all the new players to play the game. That huge demand could also be a reason for the price to stay high right now. The rental market is also looking very good and both people renting from the market and people who have rented their cards in the market are getting very good benefits.
People who sold their account would regret
I was actually about to do this a few months back. Since I did not have enough time to play the game every day, I wanted to exit completely from Splinterlands by selling all my cards for a very good price. Thanks to Team shares that kept me a little attached to the game because I was just getting a passive income through Team Shares. But today I'm glad that I did not take a strong decision to sell my cards and exit back then. I'm able to reap the profit today.
I feel sorry for people who lost their patience for their never-ending investment and quit splinterlands. I know a few people had complaints and they couldn't manage to stay. They left splinterlands completely by selling their cards. From what we see today, they would see selling as a big mistake. But good if they at least got their investment back which I'm sure would have happened.
We don't even have the new features yet in the game but still, the FOMO is very strong and new investments are happening in the game. The game also recently introduced a new way to speed up the gaming experience. Not all the transactions are now on the chain. Only the outcome of the game is stored in the chain. This reduces a big load on the Hive servers now.

I do think that the values on peakmonsters are a better representation of the possible value. The value on Discord for my deck is 39K, while peakmonsters does report 23K. Both are still great for me! Makes me curious why this difference is so big!
