Developers dropping new tokens on smaller platforms first to do test runs... rough strategy. By the time retail catches on, the real issues already hiding in plain sight. That's how these things usually play out—and nobody sees it coming until it's too late 💀

Small platforms first dig the hole, retail investors enter the market only to be the bagholders... This trick is really too familiar.

Small platforms serve as testing grounds, with all the issues of new investors entering already prearranged. This routine has been played out.

First, take a wave of retail investors on small platforms, and anyway, the big players have already left.

Small platform test run... by the time retail investors realize it, they've already been completely exploited. How many times has this trick been played?

Small platforms run test campaigns, and by the time retail investors realize it, they've already been taken. This trick is the same old story.

This trick really is the old routine. Small platforms test the waters first, then big platforms harvest. By then, retail investors only realize they've already been taken for a ride once.
