Most of your favorite Altcoins are down 90% from their all-time highs and let’s be brutally honest: 95% of them may never hit ATH again.
Ever thought why Cardano do nothing and $ADA is still in the game while the others are dying slow death?
Let me break it down with Ethereum.
Four years ago:
→ Market Cap: $600B
→ Price: $5,000
Today:
→ Market Cap: $300B
→ Price: $2,500
Looks fair, right? But imagine if Ethereum had doubled its supply with aggressive unlocks in that time.
Same market cap = Price drops below $1,250
Worse case? Sub $1,000.
Now ask yourself would you still trust ETH the way you do today
Even if the project is doing everything right – Great tech, Growing ecosystem, real users It won’t matter because investors won’t trust the token.
They’ll sell every major pump. No long-term conviction – No long term Holders. Each dump bleeds more supply into circulation – Market cap shrinks, Price dies a slow death
Repeat this cycle enough times and you kill your own token.
If ETH had an inflated supply, today its price could've been under $500.
That’s a 90% crash from ATH.
Now look at $ADA
Just chillin for 4 years, and yet still standing strong.
Why?
Because they didn’t drown retail in token inflation. No VC handouts. No endless minting.
Launched with 31B supply. After 8 years, only 35B. Just 13% inflation. That’s how tokenomics protect price and preserve trust.
If you’re building in crypto:
Stop printing tokens. Protect your supply.
Value accrues when scarcity meets conviction.
