Lately, it feels like something's off with some of these new crypto projects, especially **Alpha** and **Fly**. We're seeing a weird trend where projects that score really high in evaluations end up having very little actual value. It's like they're setting themselves up for a fall.

Take **Alpha**, for example. Even though it scored a respectable 223 points, it launched at an all-time low price of just 30U. **Fly**, which had the same score, also kicked off at 30U (and no, we're not counting that one ETH game – that was a gas fee nightmare). It really makes you wonder if these high scores even mean anything anymore when the launch prices are so disappointing.

Did Someone Dump on Early Investors?

But here's where it gets even more frustrating. Digging into the blockchain data, it looks like a large investor might have **dumped their holdings early**, even before the official market open. We're talking about someone who received 140,000U worth of tokens *before* the market opened at 9 PM Beijing time, and then sold them off at 0.93 just two minutes before everyone else could even trade! Meanwhile, regular folks like us could only buy in at 0.75, and could only sell a tiny 66U right at the start.

I even tried to sell my tokens at 66U when it first opened, but the price was so low I decided against it. Now, it's been cut in half. I honestly thought 60U would be the lowest it would go, but it seems there's no bottom!

Excuses and Empty Promises?

And if that wasn't enough, they then claimed their network was under attack as an excuse for **not sending out airdrops to early users**. To me, that sounds like a pretty convenient excuse to avoid giving out those coins. It's a slap in the face to the people who supported the project from the beginning.

Honestly, if this is how all "Alpha" projects are going to behave, then maybe it's time to rethink this whole activity. Normally, investors in genuinely good projects have a lock-up period of six months, with tokens unlocking after a year. But with these projects, it feels like they're just **racing to sell off their tokens before retail investors even have a chance**. There's no limit to how low they'll go.

What's your thoughts about this?
