Today I saw a few blockchain game groups arguing about "Why is the pool empty again"… Basically, many blockchain games' economic models are just opening a faucet and pairing it with a bigger water barrel. The output initially looks satisfying, but as long as the consumption scenarios can't keep up, inflation kicks in, and the token/item prices can only be sustained by new players taking over. If that can't hold, it triggers a chain reaction: selling pressure → declining returns → players leaving → even greater selling pressure, until the pool seems like it's been drained of air.

Right now, I focus on two small things when looking at blockchain games: whether the output is "guaranteed" (released daily at a fixed rate), and whether the consumption is "genuine" (whether it loops back to being sold again). Recently, Meme and celebrity shoutouts have such rapid attention shifts that veteran players advising newcomers not to take the last step seem quite reasonable… It’s lively, but don’t mistake inflation for a benefit. Anyway, I prefer it to be slower, at least knowing where the money comes from and where it goes.
