In the crypto and blockchain space, we've witnessed this pattern repeatedly—rushed regulations, poorly calibrated incentive structures, and policies that fail to account for market dynamics. Whether it's token economics, DeFi incentives, or protocol governance decisions, the lack of solid analytical foundations leads to misaligned outcomes. The lesson? Sound economic reasoning must precede policy action.
