Which Coin Will Be the Next $OM Mantra?

The crypto market is in a bearish phase, and it’s exposing the real strength—or weakness—behind many tokens. One of the most shocking crashes we've seen recently? OM (Mantra) dropped over 90% in just one hour, erasing $5.5 billion in value.

So, what led to this disaster?

Let’s break it down:

- Market makers were allegedly used to artificially inflate prices

- The promised community airdrop was delayed

- Quiet and suspicious tokenomics changes

- And worst of all — OTC (Over-the-Counter) deals reportedly offering tokens at up to 50% discounts

Now, compare that to strong fundamentals like:

- Bitcoin (BTC): Truly decentralized, no team controlling supply or narrative.

Now contrast OM Mantra with known trash coins like:

- BitConnect (BCC): Once a top 20 coin that turned out to be a massive Ponzi scheme

- SafeMoon: Promised the moon, but delivered rug pulls and lawsuits

- Terra (LUNA): A top project that collapsed due to flawed stablecoin mechanics and overleveraging

Here’s what to take away:

In bear markets, weak projects fall apart — and shady practices get exposed. Now more than ever, DYOR (Do Your Own Research) is critical. Don’t chase hype. Look at the fundamentals:

- Is the team transparent?

- Is there real-world use?

- Is the community organic or manufactured?

- Are tokenomics fair and sustainable?

Suggestions for all investors:

- Don't trust a coin just because it's trending

- Watch wallets, not influencers

- Study the on-chain activity, liquidity, and supply distribution

- Be cautious with any token that’s overly centralized or opaque

The big question remains: Who will be the next $OM Mantra? There are whispers about another top 20 coin engaging in shady OTC deals. Will history repeat itself?

Stay sharp, stay selective — and protect your capital.
