A few days ago, $FOGO launched and was already de-listed within three days. Looking at this project—stingy with public sales, shrinking airdrops, relying on new issuance channels to sell a staggering $7 million, with a valuation of $350 million—I can't help but ask: have we seen this套路 too many times?



This actually reflects an increasingly obvious phenomenon. Project teams, platforms, and early investors cooperate to build an ecosystem of information asymmetry. Ordinary investors often become the final bagholders, losing the most when the project hits mainstream exchanges, liquidity dries up, or a wave of de-listings occurs. Frankly, many so-called "new issuance opportunities" have shifted from value discovery to pure valuation games.

But the way crypto assets appreciate isn't limited to this path. Besides competing in information warfare, have you considered schemes that inherently generate continuous cash flow through protocol design? This isn't supported by one-time funding or market hype, but by the operation of decentralized financial infrastructure, turning your assets into a true "income generator" that works 24/7.

Compared to high-valuation projects wrapped in dreams, this kind of open-source, transparent DeFi protocol takes a different route—it doesn't sell stories, but verifiable financial logic. Through smart contracts and on-chain data, any user can clearly see how their assets circulate and generate yields, with no information black box. This "asset efficiency engine" approach allows mainstream tokens or stablecoins to appreciate under controlled risk, rather than gambling on a project's hype and liquidity.

Breaking below the offering price for three days? That's just everyday stuff haha, just another "valuation game." DeFi protocols are indeed much more reliable, at least the data is on-chain and transparent, with no black box.

It's the same old story... It's really incredible that it broke below the offering price in just three days. Is the $350 million valuation still standing here?

It's the same old trick again, breaking below price for three days is really impressive. The bagholders will always be our retail investors, I'm really tired. We still have to play DeFi; on-chain data transparency is the only reliable way.

actually, $FOGO's death spiral is just textbook basis arbitrage gone wrong... the 700m raise at 3.5b valuation screams inverted liquidity curve to me. ran the numbers and the slippage math alone shoulda been a red flag for anyone actually looking at order book depth
