Recently, I’ve been watching that blockchain game approach of "production = happiness," which basically means continuously minting coins and distributing rewards. The initial pool looks lively, but once inflation kicks in, the selling pressure is like a faucet left open, liquidity gets drained, and all that’s left is everyone fighting over the floor price. Many people blame the market for lacking integrity, but in reality, the economic model has collapsed on itself.
My more calm habit is: first, write down on paper how many tokens are being added daily, who gets them, and whether they will sell immediately. If I can’t figure it out, I just ignore it. This also helps me understand why people have been complaining about validator/miner earnings, MEV front-running, and so on — the ordering is unfair, and high-frequency small orders in blockchain games are the first to suffer. The rewards look good, but in reality, they’re eaten up by slippage and front-running… Anyway, I’d rather play less, because what I save is my life.
