After the new staking rules for Virtual are implemented, I probably won't choose to lock in for half a month or a month because un-staking alone takes fourteen days. If the project locks for too short a period and the product isn't that great, it’s really hard to make it work.
If I sell directly without staking, there’s a cooldown on points, which is a loss. If the effective staking time is short, it may turn into a yellow lock while I'm still staking, and if the retail investors dump, I lose both my position and points, which is even worse.
So I’m optimistic about two options:
The first option is @Bizzy_agent, which starts with a three-month lock to give people peace of mind. Once I buy, I can stake for a couple of months without any issues.
The second option is @VaderResearch with $VIRGEN, which is clearly an officially supported meme. They airdrop money to you, and everything is unlocked from the start. You can trade however you want—it's just to create a pure meme for Virtual, so forget about the staking part.
Aside from these two, participating in projects with short locks will indeed require a lot of effort to deal with the potential of suddenly turning into a yellow lock, and you also have to worry about the project team unlocking tokens and causing a dump. In the end, you might not even see the product before it gets dumped.
So let’s keep it simple. I hope future project teams that are conducting genesis presales can please lock in for a bit longer to show their sincerity. I really don't want to see the next $ROAST. Even if we are diamond holders, we still need to pick some good diamonds.
