Just revisiting old issues makes me a bit scared... Recently, I almost threw some money into a blockchain game pool, which seemed to have steady returns on the surface. But I looked a little closer: new tokens kept being issued, items kept being produced, yet the consumption side mainly relied on "newcomers taking over" and a few events to boost peak values. To put it simply, inflation isn't under control, production is getting more and more intense, so how can the pool not be dragged down? Once activity drops a bit, selling pressure is like water leaking and can't be stopped.
Recently, there was also the main public chain upgrade/maintenance, and everyone in the group was guessing whether the project would migrate. I'm actually more concerned about whether migrating or not is important: what's crucial is whether the economic model clearly explains that "production = cash flow," otherwise, moving to another chain is just a different place to keep collapsing. Anyway, I now prefer to go slow, first see if the consumption is just needed, and if the data matches... I almost impulsively placed an order, but luckily I held back.
