Lately, looking at the "pools" in blockchain games really feels like a self-serve taco stand: the meat (output) can't keep up, and the sauce (inflation incentives) keeps piling up; at first, the plate looks full, but later it's all water... Basically, it's just printing money too often, with weak consumption scenarios, so players are left with "collect and run," and eventually even market makers get lazy and stop playing along. The project teams also love to say "it will have great use later," but the use is slow-cooked, and inflation is like opening the floodgates—nothing can withstand it. By the way, recently, the community's arguments about privacy coins/mixing compliance also seem pretty similar: on one hand, they want privacy, and on the other, they want the fund pools to look "clean"; they want both, but in the end, the most exhausted are the treasuries. Anyway, I prefer to be the one stirring the ingredients with a spoon rather than holding a bucket and pouring sauce wildly. That's all for now.
