Last night, I checked the pool data of a blockchain game (I really don't like to talk much normally), and it just made me a bit exhausted: the output is still flowing out, but clearly fewer people are coming in. When inflation gets out of control, rewards become like self-dilution—more digging, less value. In the end, it's just "who runs faster." To put it simply, it's not that the gameplay is bad, but the economic model has drained itself.
Recently, I also heard that some regions are tightening taxes and compliance, with expectations for deposits and withdrawals fluctuating accordingly. People are less willing to lock their money into pools that need continuous new funds to sustain. Anyway, I've learned my lesson now, set reminders and limits for myself: check once at a set time, and if I exceed the limit, I won't add more. My mindset has become more stable, and I avoid the self-deception of "waiting for a rebound." That's it for now.
