Great post! Agree completely. I think a lot of it comes down to two questions anyone can ask themselves:
- What is your "earning" timeframe expectation is this ecosystem? Is it short-term or long-term?
- Do you consider getting crypto tokens as "earning" or is it only "earning" once you've converted that crypto to fiat?
Some folks have a very short timeframe, see "play2earn" and think, okay "how do I (me only) make as much fiat wealth off the game, as fast as possible?" That doesnt make them a bad person, but it does make them a drain on all the rest of us.
Other folks have a long term timeframe, see "play2earn" as a way to build crypto wealth together as a community over time and maybe, eventually, unwind some of it into fiat, if necessary. It doesn't make them a good person, but it does make them an asset for all the rest of us.
Which do you want to be viewed as? An asset or drain?
