Most people in crypto end up falling into one of these two traps. Either they keep holding “dead coins” hoping for a miracle comeback, or they chase “inflationary coins” that drain investors dry.
I almost lost 20,000 USDT when I first started because I didn’t understand this.
So today, I’ll break down the truth behind both types — so you don’t repeat my mistakes.
1. The Walking Dead Coins
These are the so-called “projects” that stopped evolving years ago. No dev updates, no real roadmap, just empty tweets trying to ride every passing trend — one day it’s AI, next day it’s metaverse. Their communities are ghost towns, and exchanges can delist them any time. I once held one that went to zero overnight after a delisting notice — couldn’t even sell. In the end, all you’re left with is a “digital relic” from a team that disappeared long ago.
2. The Endless Inflation Traps
These tokens print new supply like there’s no tomorrow. Every unlock turns into a sell-off, insiders dump, and retail gets left holding the bag. Projects like OMG or STRAT crashed over 99%, and FIL keeps sinking after every unlock — it’s a cycle of pain. You think you’re buying a dip, but you’re really just funding someone else’s exit.
My advice:
Don’t chase cheap prices — most of them are cheap for a reason. Don’t fall for nostalgia — dead projects don’t come back. And never touch coins with endless unlocks or uncontrolled inflation.
Protect your capital first. Opportunities come later.
When $BTC was near 110K, the market wasn’t weak, it was just building pressure. That pressure released to the downside.
Now this choppy phase feels normal. Bitcoin often pauses like this before the next real move. Sometimes doing nothing is the hardest, but smartest, trade.
Falcon Finance is changing the game for holding vs selling crypto.
Instead of selling your assets for cash, you can lock them up and create USDf, a stable dollar backed by your collateral. It works with crypto and tokenized real-world assets, all overcollateralized to protect against crashes.
Your assets stay yours, while the system lets them generate yield and move through DeFi—trading, lending, whatever—without touching your original holdings. Think of it like using your house for a loan but keeping ownership.
It’s secure, controlled, and built to make your crypto productive without selling.
Picked up a Ronin Axie team and I’m stacking $YGG from daily quests already. The DAO treasury keeps growing, and for the first time, Web3 ownership really feels real.
