Recently, I've seen more complaints about blockchain game pools collapsing. To put it simply, many times it's not "lack of popularity," but the economic model killing itself: production (gold farming) is too easy, inflation is too fast, and the funds from new players can't keep up, so the pool is like slowly deflating. You see the rewards still being distributed, but in reality, purchasing power is shrinking, and in the end, everyone starts to panic, leaving only a bunch of props behind.

These days, the funding rate is also quite extreme, and there's a heated debate in the community about whether to reverse or continue to inflate the bubble. I actually think this is just noise: emotions are amplifying the rhythm. My simple noise reduction method is—first, check if there is a real consumption scenario and whether consumption can match output; if they don't match, don't get too attached, just wait for liquidity to loosen up macroeconomically. That's it for now.
