Looking at some AI-related project tokens continuously weakening, I have some things I want to say.

Many projects in the early stages like to encourage retail investors to stake for yields or participate in new offerings, which sounds very tempting, but the reality is often harsh. The staking rewards can't withstand the sharp drop in token prices. Once large-scale promotion of staking becomes widespread, the subsequent price trend is almost doomed to spiral downward.

Think about how many people staked ATOM for airdrops back then? Now, the token price has long been halved, and those staking rewards have been wiped out by losses. This is not an isolated case. The staking mechanism itself is not the problem; the issue is that project teams use it to attract retail investors to take the risk. Once retail investors start taking profits, selling pressure follows. Plus, with continuous un-staking, the selling pressure in the market will only grow.

Ultimately, any project claiming to offer stable profits through staking should be questioned. Those yield returns are truly insignificant in the face of a bear market.
