The Crime of Excess

The Dao walks the level path—
slow compounding, real yield, boring fundamentals.
But the people prefer shortcuts.

They ape dog coins at 3am.
They leverage up on a coin named after a typo.
They wear designer logos to conferences
where nobody has shipped a product.

To mass-mint collectibles of your lunch is vanity.
To mass-buy tokens with no utility is delusion.
To do both while ignoring your liquidation price—
this is called the crime of excess.

Oh, how these things go against the way of the Dao.
