You’re Not a User. You’re a Metric...🧶

At first, you just throw in some ETH, maybe LP tokens, bridge a bit. Not because you believe in anything—just because everyone else is doing it. Then you wait. A few months later, a token drops. Worth maybe 20% of what you put in. Sometimes more. Usually less ⤵️

2/6 It’s not even farming. It’s a bet. The project tosses you tokens—no terms, no promises, no logic. Maybe they give everyone the same. And in return, you risked real assets that can get stuck, dumped, hacked. The audit? Just a PDF ⤵️

5/6 You’re not a user. You’re a hypothesis. A data point in a spreadsheet. What matters isn’t you—it’s TVL. Not the product—just activity. No one cares if you stay. They just need that snapshot. After that, you’re free to vanish ⤵️

4/6 Projects don’t promise, they hint. Communities echo. Everyone pretends it’s “ecosystem engagement.” But it’s just a grind. Who’s willing to go deeper, lock more, sybil a few wallets. Just to maybe make the list ⤵️

3/6 Still, you keep playing. Because someone, somewhere, once got a 10x. Because $EIGEN dropped a bag. Because sitting out feels worse. Even if the next one is a meme and the reward is two cents. Even if you forgot why you joined in the first place ⤵️
