Recently, looking at those "production pools" in blockchain games, it really feels like watching a car leak oil while still stepping on the gas... Once inflation kicks in, the amount of tokens everyone receives daily increases, and the selling pressure is as punctual as a rush hour; but the new money coming in and the consumption scenarios haven't kept up, so the pool is slowly being drained. To put it simply, it's not that the gameplay isn't good, but the economic model loves to pay wages too much and doesn't like collecting entrance fees.

These days, I also came across social mining and fan token schemes that promote "attention as mining." I'm quite conflicted: attention is indeed valuable, but if the output relies only on shouting and pulling people in, in the end, it all comes down to who can run away faster... Anyway, I've now set my goal smaller, doing less and watching more. If I can resist clicking "reinvest," that's a win; if I lose, it's just tuition.
