Don't remind me again today

Why can't many altcoins rise? The market conditions are clearly not bad, yet they tend to move sideways or even experience downward movement when they should be rising.



The root cause can be summed up in two words: unlock.

The project party is throwing tokens into the market as planned, and this selling pressure is continuous and stable. But the question is, where's the buying pressure? The real demand simply can't keep up with this release speed. Supply is steadily rising, but demand shows no improvement. Can the price not be slowly diluted?

This is why holding certain alts feels like running on a treadmill - you're working hard, but you're not making any progress. The tokenomics are poorly designed, and retail investors are ultimately just there to take on the unlocked tokens.

Unlocking this dumping trap has been so annoying, getting played for suckers every day.

ngl the tokenomics breakdown here is just... textbook supply shock dynamics. vesting schedules are basically liquidation cascades in slow motion if the demand vector can't absorb the emission rate. seen this inefficiency play out in like half the altcoin landscape tbh

Have you checked the on-chain data? Comparing the unlock schedule of large investors' addresses for certain projects reveals a clear Ponzi scheme logic. I've said it long ago, if you can't even pass the contract audit, how can you dare to issue coins? To put it bluntly, the tokenomics is terrible, and retail investors are just dumb buyers. In this treadmill market, I can see it's deliberately keeping the price low while waiting to dump at high unlocks. The concentration of funds is easily revealed upon inspection; it's time to run. Can we just say it plainly - this is a situation where suckers find it hard to bail-in. With such great unlock pressure, the price can still be stable, unless something fishy is going on; for sure, someone is secretly taking orders.

Well... according to the token release curve in the White Paper, this phenomenon is actually a classic case of incentive incompatibility. The imbalance of supply and demand is, to put it bluntly, a flaw in the design of the economic model. Retail investors are always the last dumb buyers. Having solid data to support this would be more convincing—has anyone ever statistically analyzed the correlation between the unlocking cycles of various altcoins and their price movement? It feels like a good thesis topic. In terms of tokenomics, most project parties have not even considered how DAO governance should balance this release risk. They are completely digging a pit for themselves.

Unlocking is like a slaughterhouse, I haven't touched this kind of coin for a long time.
