Last night during my night run, I checked the data of the on-chain game pools, and the more I looked, the more it felt like the mainnet suddenly got jammed: at first everything ran pretty smoothly, but later it was wall-to-wall people packed in together. Basically, it’s inflation plus too much output—like the token supply tap wasn’t turned off, and whatever little “revenue” the pools had gets washed away to nothing. Then a studio comes in and cranks efficiency up to the max, and retail investors are left with nothing but the labor-intensive job of taking the losses… When the token price softens, everyone gets even more desperate to sell, and the spiral starts. Anyway, my current “patch” strategy is just small fixes: if something can be done on L2, I don’t go to the mainnet; if I can avoid those pools that rely on infinite token issuance to prop themselves up, I avoid them too. Survival first, that’s it. Don’t clog it up—really.
