The current startup routines of crypto projects have long since formed a fixed template. First is the private funding round to discover the price, followed by the Token Generation Event (TGE) where only a very small proportion of tokens are released, appearing scarce. The real problem lies afterward—every month, a large number of unlocked tokens flood into the market continuously for years, and the price hardly reacts to this supply pressure. Under this model, early participants take profits, while late retail investors are cut in endless selling pressure. Instead of chasing these routine projects, it’s better to return to the essence of crypto—assets that truly have innovative value, rather than purely being fundraising tools.

Same old story, seen it too many times --- Early investors are the "daddies," later ones are just the chives. Tired of playing this game --- Unlocking and dumping every day, the price just won't move, it's ridiculous --- That's right, now project teams are just shell companies for fundraising. Truly little innovation --- Retail investors are still lining up to buy in. Wake up, everyone --- Compared to these trash projects, it's better to find something truly useful --- Unlocking every month, cutting chives every year. This pattern is everywhere --- Private placement at two dollars, selling at ten dollars after listing, just wait and watch the fireworks --- Not all coins can make money; the key is not to get caught in the tricks --- Once understood, it's just a tool for institutions to cut retail investors, nothing else

It's the same old story again, private equity warriors playing tricks on retail investors. That's true, but who can withstand this wave? Unlocking pressure is really unstoppable. Are there any truly innovative projects now? I doubt it. Go ahead and take my funds if you want; I've been used to it long ago.

It's the same old trick again. I keep saying, how can the TGE's limited liquidity possibly support the subsequent unlock pressure? --- Honestly, retail investors have already lost the moment they chase the high. When the unlock wave hits, they just become leeks. --- So those still buying these financing coins now really have their heads waterlogged. --- Price has no reaction? That's not right, I see it falling freely. --- Early-stage VCs definitely made a killing. For us latercomers, we're just waiting to be cut. --- This is the most frustrating part of Web3—it's essentially a tool for cutting leeks. --- Instead of waiting to be dumped, it's better to find projects with real products and ecosystems. --- The monthly unlock of those tokens, frankly, is just a timed and quantitative way to cut retail investors.
