Fair point. Personally, I think pooling in the cub is an all round better decision, especially if the investor plans to stick around for the long term.

Holding DEC might be better if you're solely focused on the sps airdrop but as you know, tunnel vision isn't safe in this industry. I think being flexible is very important and opening new ways to earn can help.

Also, if you put enough in the pool, you can just buy more DEC with your cub (it will affect your LP tokens) and still get more SPS from your assets.
