Lately, I've been watching the chain games pool so much it's getting annoying. Inflation + output spike like opening the floodgates. A few days ago, the APR looked pretty attractive, but later the rewards became increasingly worthless. Selling pressure piled up, and if the pool depth can't keep up, it starts "self-draining." To be clear, it's not that players aren't trying; it's the economic model forcing everyone to rush out, and the more they run, the more they trample over each other.
Now I've learned one word: stop. Stop doing tasks, stop adding to positions, stop self-hyping "play one more day to break even"... First, pause to understand the output, unlocking rhythm, and whether you can recover (consume), otherwise you're just working for inflation.
By the way, recently hardware wallets have been out of stock, and many people are clicking phishing links—it's ridiculous. Chain games involve more interactions, so it's even more necessary to pause and check all addresses, domains, and authorizations thoroughly, to avoid losing your main wallet over a few tokens. That's all for now.
