This isn’t a matter of bitterness; it’s based on experience. I remember my first Launchpool reward was PIXEL, a moment that coincided with my early days of holding BNB. Back then, the environment felt different: FDUSD was still legal in the EU, APRs seemed attractive, and farming for potential upside appeared promising.

But the landscape has changed significantly. What prompted me to write this now isn’t macro trends or industry shifts — it's 2024, a year where I still find myself falling into the same traps.

I believed in some projects early on. I bought in, thinking I was being clever. “This is Launchpool,” I told myself. “It’s undervalued. The chart just needs time.” But that’s a mistake. Waiting for a token’s price to rise after launch is almost always a fool’s errand. The market doesn’t work that way. The mechanism behind these projects is designed for prices to decline, not increase.

This isn’t financial advice, but personal advice: don’t hold onto these tokens. Sell them as soon as possible. Convert to BNB if you need to, but don’t delay. The longer you hold, the more you’re essentially paying for someone else’s exit.

Binance Launchpool has become a marketplace for projects that are doomed from the start. Many tokens that come out of this ecosystem are destined to crash or become irrelevant, and the reasons are clear. These projects often rely on hype and insider manipulation rather than real utility or sustainability. Large investors and whales farm early, then dump their holdings immediately once trading begins, causing sharp declines that wipe out retail investors.

Even in early 2024, if you had some BNB staked, you could still earn a Launchpool reward that felt somewhat proportional — fewer participants, less dilution. But that didn’t last. Token unlock schedules accelerated. OTC deals began setting prices well before launch. Whale wallets with hundreds of BNB drained most of the rewards. What was once a passive income opportunity turned into a routine: stake, claim, dump, regret.

Look at some recent examples: PORTAL crashed within hours; SAGA faced brutal unlock schedules; ETHFI dropped 40% before most wallets even loaded. The pattern repeats across many projects — NOT, BIO, Scroll, OMNI, MANTA, TON, IO.NET, USUAL — and the common story is the same: hype, listing, a brief spike, then a rapid decline.

These are not isolated incidents; they’re predictable outcomes. Projects launched without a strong community, clear long-term plans, or responsible tokenomics. Their unlock schedules ensure collapse, and the entire process is optimized for quick profits for insiders, not for sustainable growth.

Binance benefits from trading volume, hype, and listing fees — sustainable innovation isn’t the goal. The history of projects like BTT, SafeMoon, and BakerySwap already illustrates this cycle. What we see now are just repetitions.

In summary: most projects launched on Binance Launchpool are part of a cycle that favors insiders over ordinary investors. They’re typically designed for quick gains, with little regard for long-term viability. The system is more about manipulation and short-term profits than fostering genuine, lasting innovation. Most of these tokens will inevitably fail, fading into obscurity after a brief burst of hype.
