I just finished reviewing the output data from a chain game, and I can’t help but feel a bit emotional. Inflation—this thing—project teams talk about “sustainability” in words, but when you look at the numbers, the daily output is piled up like mountains, while consumption is squeezed like toothpaste. When the pool’s liquidity tightens, the price collapses; players run faster than rabbits. The bottom line is: it’s not that the gameplay isn’t good—it's that the economic model is inherently sick from the start. Recently, the group chat keeps sharing all kinds of screenshots about stablecoins losing their peg—it has the same flavor: once trust goes, a bank run comes. No one wants to be the last one holding the bag.

What I’m most afraid of isn’t losing money—it’s losing control. So now, no matter what I play, I draw the stop-loss line first, and size my position with a clear sense of boundaries. Whether it’s a chain game or a protocol, I’d rather move slower—don’t let emotions卷 (entangle) the principal.
