There's something worth examining about how certain protocols build momentum. Focus on shipping a solid product and backing it with aggressive token incentives—it's a formula that's been working. The tradeoff is real though: when you're sprinting to grab market share, centralization creeps in. Sometimes that's the price of execution. The question isn't whether it's right or wrong, but whether the short-term gains translate into sustainable dominance long-term. A lot of maturing projects are learning this lesson the hard way. #Web3

NGL, this tactic is just a variation of cutting leeks, a mere sugar-coated cannonball.

NGL, this old trick of using quick subsidies to swap for market share is indeed effective but always leaves endless troubles afterward.

NGL, this is the current dilemma of Web3. The short-term gains-driven centralization ultimately benefits no one.

ngl this is the eternal contradiction of Web3: rapid expansion versus decentralization—it's like choosing between fish and bear's paw...

Speed and decentralization, the fish and the bear's paw... Is it really impossible to have both?
