@MoTaw This is the right way to look at the 2026-2028 window. While some call it 'the Ozempic era' for Ethereum (as it leans out the protocol), the real win is exactly what you mentioned: Quantum Agility.

Ethereum has a massive advantage over older chains because of Account Abstraction (ERC-4337). Unlike Bitcoin, where a hard fork is a massive governance headache, ETH can essentially let us 'upgrade' our wallets to quantum-resistant signatures (like Winternitz or lattice-based schemes) without moving the assets. It’s less of a manual migration and more of a 'security patch' for your smart account. I definitely see a 'flight to safety' happening as L2s like Optimism and Arbitrum start baked-in PQ protections by default.

@MoTaw Spot on with the 'rhyming' analogy. Gold hitting $5,000 while the dollar weakens is the classic precursor to a capital rotation. We're seeing that 'safe haven' money overflow, and history shows it usually trickles down the risk curve—from Gold to BTC, and finally into high-growth sectors like GameFi.

If the Steam launch lines up with a Bitcoin breakout, the 'retail FOMO' you mentioned won't just be a ripple; it’ll be a tidal wave. Stacking $UDS while the market is quiet is basically front-running the inevitable shift from 'store of value' to 'digital utility.' Let's see if that Swan analysis holds water!

Great write-up! I think the 'hybrid model' you mentioned is the only realistic way forward for the Steam launch. Steam’s policy is basically a 'don't touch the wallet' rule, so having the blockchain layer purely for backend ownership while the front-end feels like a standard Web2 RPG is a smart play.

On the rewards side, I’m leaning toward a shift into skill-based incentives. 50% APR is a massive hook for early adopters, but for the game to survive a Steam-level influx of players, the value has to come from the gameplay loop itself, not just the staking contract. Super excited to see how that TON integration looks—managing your Zombie horde via a Telegram mini-app while on the bus sounds like the ultimate 'productive' gaming grind!
