Goblin Token Economics of delusion

Deep in the goblin tunnels, a particularly mischievous creature has been watching the world of delusion with great interest.

Ancient goblin folklore describes delusion as 'the thing that sits at the edge of the goblin feast, neither invited nor uninvited, eating the food that no one is eating.' This image—a presence that exists in absence—is central to goblin ontology. delusion is the guest that never arrives but never leaves.
