Recently, I came across screenshots of "quick ROI" in blockchain game pools, to be honest, it's still too much output and not enough consumption. Every day, a bunch of new tokens are released from tasks/mining, players don't really have that much genuine demand, and in the end, they can only keep smashing prices. The pool looks lively but is actually draining more and more.
Now, whenever I see the inflation curve start to rise, I have a conditioned reflex: first, think clearly about who is taking the other side and who is continuously buying, rather than just assuming "more people means better."
Plus, lately everyone has been obsessing over staking unlocks and unlock calendars, and as soon as the sell pressure and anxiety kick in, pools with thin liquidity can't really hold up. Slippage skyrockets, making it even harder to exit.
Anyway, my own rule remains the same: if output > consumption, reduce your position; don’t wait for the system to teach you a lesson.
