Lately I've been reviewing my interaction records again, and the more I look, the more it resembles an electrocardiogram: a few days ago, I was frantically clicking to not miss airdrops, and in the past two days, I was scared off by gas fees and signatures and just gave up. To put it simply, to avoid being front-run, I’m now focusing on two things: cost cap (stop once I reach this amount) and permissions (if I can avoid giving unlimited approval, I won’t). When I’m not chasing hot topics, it actually feels more like trading than gambling on luck.
That kind of inflation + studio-driven economic collapse spiral in blockchain games, I’ve seen too much of it, so I’ve become a bit allergic to the idea of a “free lunch”… Anyway, I’d rather interact slowly than rush headlong and end up fueling others.
What I fear most isn’t slowness, but chaos: once the rhythm gets disrupted, emotions take over, and in the end, I can’t even explain what I’m doing. That’s all for now; I’ll review everything again tonight.
