Recently, I looked at another blockchain game pool, and the output is still pouring out, but the number of people is decreasing, and the coins are stacking up thicker and thicker... Basically, inflation has diluted "effort" into noise: the new output doesn't correspond to any new real consumption (burning, upgrading, thresholds, content), and in the end, only the expectation of mutual handovers remains, which of course drags the pool down.
I set a rule for myself: when I see "the returns can be stacked another layer," don’t get excited first, ask who is paying for this layer of return, how long they will pay, and whether there is hard consumption to buy back the coins; otherwise, it’s like the recent complaints about staking/sharing security being a kind of recursive trap—looks full, but the underlying cash flow is empty. Anyway, I’d rather go slow than rely on inflation to keep the hype alive.
