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.

Shorting the Prediction Market

The author critiques the growing influence of prediction markets, arguing they distort truth and social reality rather than reflect it. While proponents claim these markets, fueled by real-money bets, offer a more accurate alternative to traditional polls and expert opinions, the author contends they operate like a Keynesian “beauty contest,” where participants bet on what others will think rather than on objective truth. This dynamic, combined with a lack of natural hedgers, creates a system dominated by insiders and doomed to collapse once “dumb money” is exhausted. The piece highlights how large bets can manipulate outcomes by influencing media coverage and public perception, turning probability signals into self-fulfilling prophecies. This undermines social stability, as the markets incentivize disruption rather than security. The author posits that society is reaching a peak in “gambling culture” and predicts a eventual rejection of hyper-financialization in favor of real-world experiences and deeper human connections. Ultimately, to “short” prediction markets is to go long on human agency and life itself—choosing to step away from the virtual casino and back into the sunlight.
