So how does this work?
This isn't a surprise. It was never a game. Adding ponzinomics with huge APRs on top doesn't magically turn it into a good project. Even though the creators seemed likeable, it was a mockery of the word "gaming," competing for the top spot only with Angry Dynamites.
They're probably next. Mindless clicking, no possibility of winning or losing. Zero skill involved — that's not a game.
So what do we have left?
Moku is a somewhat more innovative project, but it's built around watching rather than playing. We'll see how long people stay interested once the undeserved millions in investment money run out...
Honestly, by supporting and investing in these kinds of nonsense projects, Ronin is slowly losing me.
If leaders lose the ability to distinguish good games from bad ones, then we're doomed aka 0,06...
Unfortunately, constantly repeating past successes and taking pride in the number of fitness activities they do isn't going to build a best gaming chain.
Anyway....
I'll still be here. I'll keep hoping, because gaming + blockchain simply makes sense. I'll keep wishing that Ronin Network ends up being the winner.
I still believe that when the time comes, @AxieInfinity Legacy will be a good game — if we live long enough to see it.
I'll keep supporting and holding @RonkeOnRon because Ronke is sincere in his Ronkism and never aspired to be anything more than everything.
I'll keep holding my @AwakenHunterNFT because, above all, I trust the founder. I believe he knows what he's doing, and over time I've seen that he's capable of executing on his plans.
I'll continue supporting and playing @playwildforest Forest because it's been the best game on Ronin for a long time. A real game, not some pixelated whatever. To be fair, WF has its own issues too. Weak communication from the team, a lack of players, and most importantly, it's paying the price for the decision to have its token exist only in the WF/RON pool. As a result, RON's price decline dragged it down much further than it should have.
I genuinely feel sorry for everyone who lost money there. We're on Ronin. Apart from a select few, pretty much all of us have lost a lot of money somewhere along the way.
From now on, I just want to see quality projects on Ronin.
I wish the Sky Mavis leaders would listen to Aur.ron more often. Many of his suggestions are good, and his loyalty is admirable.
Long live Ronin... (before it gets absorbed into the Ronke spiral).

I logged back into @AxieInfinity today for the first time in years, just to see if anything had changed. To be honest, I am completely baffled by how, in almost seven years, they still haven't managed to build a healthy, self-sustaining economic loop. We are talking about what was once the most successful NFT game on the planet.
Today, there are over 11 million Axies in existence, and the floor price has tanked to under $0.50. The game is drowning in hyperinflation because fundamental economic levers are being completely ignored:
1. The Missing NFT-Burning Mechanism (The "Sacrifice" Feature)
To rescue the floor price, there needs to be a radical reduction in supply. Why is there no system where players have to sacrifice (permanently burn) 3 to 5 floor Axies to visually upgrade their main Axie or buff it for PvE? The same goes for a wear-and-tear mechanic in the MMO (Homeland): Axies used on land plots should degrade over time. To repair an "aged" Axie or craft high-end gear, other NFTs should have to be recycled or destroyed. NFTs need to become consumable goods but that is highly unlikely to happen.
2. Ronin is Missing Its Potential
The Ronin chain has failed to establish itself as a relevant DeFi or meme coin hub. What it actually needs is genuine cross-game utility: Every single new game launching on the Ronin chain must integrate Axies. Your Axie should become a companion in Pixels or other RPGs. In return, game developers who implement this should be heavily incentivized with massive POD rewards. Instead, Sky Mavis is stubbornly following the exact same playbook that led to the initial crash.
3. The "Axie Terrarium" Problem: Wealth for the 2020 Elite Only
The new Terrarium feature perfectly illustrates the core issue: it almost exclusively rewards players who got in before 2021. Why would a newcomer bother participating? You would have to drop tens of thousands of dollars just to have a shot at b- $AXS rewards. And even then, it’s barely worth it because you only get 30% of the rewards by default - unless you hold the utopian, outrageously expensive Mythkeeper status.
Ultimately, Terrarium is just like Land Staking: a makeshift tool designed to prevent further sell-offs, while in reality, it only concentrates wealth within a small elite from 2020.
The Bottom Line: The developers are forgetting the most crucial lesson of their own history. It wasn't the Mythkeepers who pushed Axie to 2.2 million Daily Active Users (DAU) it was the everyday Lunacians at the grass-roots level . It's a shame, but it looks like we’re going to watch the slow-motion decline play out live, just like the last years. @Ronin_Network $ron
Hi Weirdos!
We are live! Time to bring out the weirdness in Terra Villa.
Thanks so much @pixels_online, @RagPoet 🏆.

@Nils2d2@whatslukedoing@pixels_online There's an infiniportal in the middle of Terravilla which you can use to teleport to different NFT lands to farm. Or you can also use your speck, but it's features are limited.
