The constant token minting to subsidize transaction costs is eating into long-term holder value. Every time the network needs to cover gas expenses, more supply hits the market - classic inflation pressure.
Don't get me wrong, the tech stack is incredible. Lightning-fast transactions, developer-friendly infrastructure, thriving ecosystem. For builders? Absolutely top-tier. The problem is the tokenomics don't reward investors the same way.
So here's the reality check: fantastic chain for deploying dApps and protocols, questionable play for portfolio allocation. Sometimes the best technology doesn't make the best investment vehicle.

Frantically printing tokens to cover gas fees is really disappointing; long-term holders are taking a huge loss.

Printing money like crazy to subsidize gas fees is really insane; long-term holders are getting absolutely wrecked.

I think the key points raised are pretty accurate, but architects and investors really are two different things and should be considered separately.
Tokenomics has always been a hurdle that can't be avoided.
Good technology ≠ good investment, that one really hits hard, haha.
Wait, so how do you choose? Do you have to participate just because the ecosystem is strong...
Frankly, inflation is just about slicing up the pie of token holders.
No matter how impressive the technology is, investment returns are a completely different story.

I'm tired of the unlimited minting trick. They call it "subsidizing gas fees," but in reality, they're just cutting down the token holders.
