Recently looking at a few blockchain game pools, it feels like a self-serve buffet: the output is served full at first. Once inflation kicks in, everyone crazily grabs food. By the time people react, there’s only oil left on the plate, and the token price also deflates along with it. To put it simply, it’s not that “no one is playing anymore”—it’s that the output starts too smoothly. People who come in just want to break even + cash out/exit, and the real consumption can’t keep up. If the pool can’t take it, it collapses.

Outside, there are also rumors that some places will add taxes / tighten compliance. When deposit and withdrawal expectations change, people are even less willing to lock into a long-term model that “relies on new funds to subsidize it.” Their mindset goes directly from “I’ll try” to “I’m withdrawing first.”

For my part, I’d rather be a bit more troublesome now: open a separate wallet for blockchain game-related funds, authorize it and clear it periodically. Write the mnemonic phrase in two copies and store them separately. It’s like an OCD compulsion… but at least if the pool collapses, I can still sleep. That’s it for now.
