I recently acquired several game NFTs that indeed doubled in value, but to be honest—it's not that simple.

First, let me clarify: I have no affiliation with the project and am not trying to recruit anyone. Beginners should never rush in just because prices are rising—that's like paying tuition.

This Monopoly chain game hasn't even had an official test yet, and the official Twitter followers are only over a thousand. The project only started pre-registration in November of this year. Yet, the pre-registration airdrop policy is quite generous—100,000 USDT worth of a certain token was airdropped to early players who completed KYC, allowing participation at zero cost. Most of the NFTs on the market now come from this airdrop.

Seeing NFTs double in value overnight, the community is definitely activated. But honestly, the game's economic system is a mystery—white paper hasn't been released yet. Everyone is purely betting that this IP will be willing to spend money, pump the price, and not immediately cut the leeks.

I only invested 1,000 USDT, mainly for participation and gaming experience, treating spending as consumption rather than investment. Made a profit? Lucky. Lost? I accept that too.

This game won't issue its own dedicated token; the on-chain part is entirely driven by a certain token—used for buying items, trading, and consumption—its entire economic system revolves around it. From what I see, this Monopoly game essentially aims to build an ecosystem for this token, making its use cases richer. The player base has demand for the token, which naturally pushes up its price, giving the project team a chance to cash out.

The key moment is here: this month, this token will undergo a large-scale unlock. The storyline is like this—game launches → players buy tokens to purchase items for a better experience → tokens are continuously bought to drive up the price → big players and the project team cash out at high levels.

The problem is: the current NFT prices have already doubled several times. Whether latecomers will become the final bagholders is really uncertain. Don't risk making quick money by farming tokens only to see NFT prices plummet, losing all your principal and gains.

If you want to experience the game, small investments are fine. But don't treat this as a get-rich-quick scheme.

Really, this Monopoly game is too revealing. They didn't even have a white paper and still doubled in value, just like gambling. Latecomers are all here to send money. If you unlock it and run slowly that day, just wait to take the fall. I just see it as spending money to play a game. Whether I make money or not doesn't matter. Anyway, I can't go all-in on this thing.

There are no whitepapers and yet they dare to double the investment, this scheme is dangerously high. This month's unlocking is truly a dividing line; we'll see who is truly swimming naked then. Playing games for fun is fine, but thinking of it as an ATM is just naive. Airdropping millions of U to early players is indeed a brilliant move; currently, most NFTs on the market are just cashing out by these players. Once the coin price starts to drop, I really can't imagine what will happen to these NFTs.

Damn, this unlock node, even gamblers should wake up to the pattern now --- Exactly, it's the same old trick of building an ecosystem around tokens, been around for ages --- Playing games with 1000U is okay, but the current batch of new investors are really prone to getting caught in traps --- Seeing the doubling makes you want to rush in, but this mindset will get cut sooner or later --- They dare to play even before releasing the white paper, the project team's moves are really bold --- The unlock tide is coming, a signal that big players are fleeing --- Small investments for experience are fine, but don't dream of making a fortune and turning things around overnight

Honestly, this wave is definitely gambling. There's no white paper, and it's rising so aggressively. Once the unlock happens this month, those who buy in at high levels really need to be careful.

Oh no, it's the same old trick again—pump the price with an airdrop and then sell at high levels. They dare to play with an economic system without even a white paper—that's really bold. A million US dollars airdropped to early participants, now the later ones are the ones taking the hit. Do you understand what this is called? Unlocking this month is a signal that big players are fleeing. Don't ask me how I know. It's okay to play with small amounts, but never treat gold farming as a secret to wealth—losing money can happen really fast. Is the gaming experience worth 1000U? That's subjective. I just see it as a form of consumption. Projects with only a thousand fans dare to play Monopoly—kind of interesting. Tokens are essentially just a way for games to find a scapegoat; don't be blind to that. When will the price of NFTs bought now break even? That's really hard to say. Betting on project teams with integrity? In this circle, that's basically asking for death.

You can tell this is a serious risk warning, but to be honest, I can't hold back anymore. I've seen this scam too many times. No white paper, just doubling? I just smile and say nothing. Unlock this month? Bro, your timeline is a bit intense.

Honestly, I've heard the zero-cost airdrop logic too many times. Every time, the people in front laugh, and those behind cry. They dare to double their investment without even a white paper. How much of a gamble is that? And yet, people still rush in to buy the dip. Unbelievable.
