Very interesting. I have had this same thought numerous times, but as I have written about in my weekly series on SteemMonsters and Drugs Wars I have INTENTIONALLY used my Drug Wars and Steem Monsters activity as BOTH a gaming experience AND (more importantly) as a "blockchain gaming" case study The SECOND aspect of the project is what prevents me from burning out (as you seem to have). So your post is also valuable to me in showing that the initial strategy I set up for MY effort has indeed been effective in warding off such burnout. Thanks a lot for sharing this. I agree with you that, considering your reasoning, it is probably best that you pulled out and took your gains (in the form of both Steem and EXPERIENCE). I would suggest finding a SUBSTITUTE for your SteemMonsters activity; perhaps something which is like likely to become (as) addictive. Good luck...
