Imagine a powerful ruler who, in order to win over corrupt allies, meticulously constructs a fortress-like luxurious palace. It is impregnable, and outsiders cannot break in. The problem is—people inside also cannot get out. Isn't this a reflection of some on-chain ecosystems? The more tightly designed, the deeper the lock-in.

This is a typical rug pull trap. It looks like a moat, but in reality, it's a cage.

The deeper the on-chain liquidity is locked, the more dead it becomes. Someone should have said this long ago.

The more fortified the fortress, the more it resembles a prison, which is why I've been out long ago.

Damn, this is the current situation of some L1s I've seen—liquidity is completely locked up.

Wow, this is the highly integrated ecosystem I see every day. It looks prosperous but it's actually all a scam.

To be honest, that's why I don't touch those self-contained small ecosystems, no matter how luxurious they are, they are still prisons.
