Recently, I checked another blockchain game pool. A few days ago it was still pretty lively, but today when I flipped through the data, it started to feel unstable: the output keeps spurting nonstop, there are fewer and fewer new users, and the token price deflates like it’s losing air. As for what’s left in the pool, everyone ends up just taking turns bag-swapping and backfilling each other’s positions. Put plainly, inflation is running ahead of real demand—rewards look big, but it’s actually draining the future first and pre-spending it on tomorrow’s people.
This current airdrop season feels pretty similar too. The task platforms are getting stricter and stricter with anti-sybil measures, and the points system is basically forcing the airdrop-farming crowd to “clock in” like they’re marking attendance at work… everyone’s getting overwhelmed and burned out from the grind, totally saturated. But not many people are actually putting in real money. Anyway, whenever I see “high output + a user-acquisition pitch,” I’m going to hold back first. Don’t be the last one to take the final hit—I’m tired, but I’m still watching my step.
