Recently, the pools in chain gaming have been feeling a bit unsettling: at first, watching the TVL was quite lively, with frequent inflows and outflows, but as long as the output is "printed," once inflation kicks in, the selling pressure opens the floodgates, and the real money in the pool (external buy orders/fees) simply can't keep up, eventually turning into everyone rushing to exit. To put it simply, it's not that players aren't trying hard enough; the economic model pushes people into short-term trading.
I also have some mixed feelings about social mining and fan tokens—this "attention equals mining" approach. It can boost active addresses during hot periods, but if there's no real income to recover, it ultimately relies on issuing more tokens to survive. The data looks good, but patience is quickly drained.
What I fear most isn't slowness, but chaos: slow at least allows you to see cash flow clearly, while chaos means indicators jump around everywhere, rules change frequently, and you don't even know which curve to trust. For now, I'll keep an eye on the real income column.
