🛑 I WILL EXPLAIN TO YOU WHY THEY LIE TO YOU WHEN THEY TELL YOU TO BUY $OM !
I want to be direct: what happened with $OM (Mantra) in April was not 'just another correction' or a good time to 'buy the dip' if you don't understand what is behind it. Below I explain it step by step — facts, signals, and why it is very likely that it will NOT return to the price that many promise.
1) What happened on April 13 (clear summary)
On April 13, 2025 $OM suffered a brutal drop: it lost more than 90% of its value in a matter of hours, erasing billions in market capitalization in minutes. It was a rapid and massive collapse, not a gradual decline.
2) Immediate trigger: illiquidity + forced liquidations
It was not (just) 'fear' from retail: the market was extremely illiquid and there were leveraged positions that, when they began to liquidate, generated a spiral. In illiquid markets, a few large sales trigger automatic orders and a cascade effect forms that sinks the price in minutes. This is exactly what several analyses documented.
3) Structural problem: concentrated tokenomics and unlocks/sales by insiders
Before and after the crash, large concentrations of supply and movements of tokens from the team/early investors (unlock/sales) came to light. This oversupply, along with the team's attempts to 'burn' or move tokens to calm the market, does not change the fact that much supply was in few hands — and when large holders exit, the price cannot hold.
4) Exchanges reacting and signs of delisting / suspension
After the crash, several exchanges had to react: there were suspensions of deposits and announcements of closed pairs/delistings on platforms (due to pair reviews or unusual activity). This not only limits liquidity but also increases the likelihood that projects with these symptoms end up being removed from more lists. When a token loses accessibility on major exchanges, regaining trust and price becomes much more difficult.
5) Legal investigation and massive loss of trust (reputational risk)
Investigations have already been opened, and in some cases, legal offices are analyzing whether there were actions that harmed holders. A public investigation and possible lawsuits make custodians/exchanges and partners quickly distance themselves — another bullet in the project's history that hinders clean recoveries.
Why does all this make a real recovery improbable (and not just a temporary pump)?
Broken liquidity: without liquidity, there is no real market; the remaining pumps are manipulable and fragile.
Delistings and suspensions reduce access for new buyers; less demand = less possibility of sustained increases.
Legal and reputational risk discourages institutional and market makers from putting capital back in.
Concentrated tokenomics makes any recovery attempt dependent on the same actors that caused the drop. That is not a healthy foundation for a genuine rally.
Conclusion — Why do they 'lie' to you when they tell you to buy OM?
Because the message of 'buy the dip' often ignores structural signals: it is not the same to buy the dip in a token with real adoption and liquidity, than in one whose market was broken by concentrations, liquidations, and loss of access on exchanges. Promising that 'it will come back' without mentioning delistings, investigations, and tokenomics is, at the very least, irresponsible.
What can you do (if you have OM)?
I do not provide financial advice, but to avoid panicking without information: check official sources, consider withdrawing what you can to your own wallet if the exchange allows it, and evaluate calmly before adding more capital. If your exposure is large, consult a professional. (This is not a mandate, it is a suggestion for caution).
Did you have OM before the crash? What did you do? Tell me below and we will create a thread with concrete steps to protect capital and detect risk signals in other projects. 👇
