These Vibe Coding Crypto Mini-Games Are So Addictive
The article explores the rising popularity of "vibe coding" in the cryptocurrency space, focusing on small, addictive games that deliver rapid dopamine hits through instant feedback. Initially skeptical of such trends, the author was convinced after trying games like *Rug Pull Simulator* (a token launch simulation), a meme-trading escape game, and *Vesting Victim* (an FDV guessing game). These games thrive on immediate, repetitive rewards—whether through strategic decision-making, timing the market, or testing valuation intuition—rather than long-term value or complex narratives.
Vibe coding leverages AI tools to quickly turn ideas into playable demos, capitalizing on low development costs and high social media virality. It represents a shift toward instant gratification in a market where long-term promises have lost credibility, offering a form of "industrialized dopamine" that is highly engaging, if not necessarily profound. The author concludes by embracing these fast-paced, addictive experiences as a product of the current environment, even if they lack lasting impact.
