#night @MidnightNetwork

To be honest, when I first saw NIGHT, I was resistant.

The reason is simple—there are too many public chain coins on the market, and they all talk about cross-chain, interoperability, and ecosystem right from the start; it all sounds the same. I already have a few coins in my hand that are 'promising for the future,' and they are still underwater.

So at first, I just bought a little as an observation position.

But after reading that tokenomics white paper, I found that Midnight has an essential difference from others: it doesn't force you to hold its coin.

The logic of most public chains is—if you want to use the chain, you must buy my coin first. This is a hard rule.

Midnight doesn’t do that. It created a capacity market, slicing the network resources into DUST. DApp developers can buy DUST using any coin (even fiat) and then help you pay the transaction fees. As a user, you are completely unaware and just use it when you click.

I thought about it; this design is actually solving the biggest pain point of public chains—user education costs.

In the past, bringing people into Web3, the hardest part wasn’t whether the product was usable, but rather, 'you first need to buy a coin.' This step can deter 90% of people. If Midnight gets this to work, it can really achieve 'on-chain applications as smooth as Web2.'

But I didn't go all in, and the reason is simple: no matter how good the mechanism is, it still needs people to use it.

The white paper says that NIGHT holders can rent out DUST to earn income, which sounds like a landlord collecting rent. But the problem is, the house is built, where are the tenants?

Last week, I generated DUST with my little NIGHT and didn’t touch it; I just left it there. I’ll consider increasing my position later when I really see DApps integrating and people starting to buy DUST.

Now my strategy is just four words: sit back and watch the show.

Mechanism gets 90 points, waiting for signals on landing. $NIGHT
