Today let's talk about Aptos ($APT ), this project that claims to be a Layer1 killer, and why in my view it's just a carefully designed slow scam. It’s not a sudden explosion; rather, the project team slowly drains retail investors' hard-earned money through unlocking, selling, and manipulation. Don't rush; I'm not just speaking out of turn, I will let the data and history speak. If you hold APT, be sure to read this article to possibly limit your losses in time.
Since the Aptos mainnet launch in 2022, its tokenomics has been heavily criticized. On the surface, it has a total supply of 1 billion, with an initial circulation of only 130 million, appearing scarce and capable of driving up the price. But the truth is, the project team has designed a linear unlocking mechanism lasting several years, unlocking about 11.31 million APT each month, accounting for approximately 1.73% of the circulating supply.

This bull market has really opened my eyes. I used to think that altcoins would rise quickly in a bull market, but that's not the case at all now. Bitcoin is soaring, while altcoins seem to be playing dead; when Bitcoin slightly retraces by a thousand points, yesterday APT and other coins dropped back to early this month level in just an hour, and a 1% retracement feels like poking a hornet's nest, causing a dramatic drop. The public chains are crashing, and coins can't even be redeemed; it's truly a sight for sore eyes.

In the end, the problems with altcoins are just too many. The total amount of capital hasn’t really changed, but the number of coins is increasing, with new garbage AI altcoins appearing every day. The essence is just to cut and run after a wave, with limited capital being spread too thin, how can they possibly rise? Just like ACT, pnut, neiro, these are typical examples of cutting and running, with no long-term plans in sight.

The collapse of the FTX exchange marks a significant trust crisis in the cryptocurrency industry, with the value logic of its native token FTT having fundamentally reversed. This article rigorously explores the following proposition based on legal procedures, market mechanisms, and industry rules: In the short term, there are speculative opportunities driven by news-related price fluctuations of FTT, but the long-term value going to zero is irreversible, especially caution is needed against the misleading of market sentiment by 'expectations of exchange restarts.'

# 1. Market Effects of FTX Restart Expectations

1. Create an environment that attracts businesses and talents, and provide tax incentives to promote economic growth, technological innovation, attract foreign investment, and build the United States into the world's cryptocurrency capital. This policy aims to attract global cryptocurrency-related companies and professionals to the United States by creating a favorable business environment and tax incentives. It is expected to be achieved as early as 2026, which will lay a solid foundation for the development of the United States in the field of cryptocurrency, promote technological innovation and diversified economic growth, and enhance the competitiveness and influence of the United States in the global cryptocurrency market.

Decentralization: Reshaping the trust architecture
The decentralized concept of blockchain is like a revolution in thinking. In the traditional model, our social activities, transactions, medical treatment and other activities are all carried out around central hubs such as WeChat, Alipay, and hospitals. Although these centralized institutions bring convenience, they are also accompanied by congestion and leakage risks. The emergence of blockchain has broken this inherent cognition and allowed us to see the possibility of not relying on traditional third-party trust intermediaries.
In human society, centralized mechanisms are everywhere. But this does not mean that decentralization is worthless. In fact, in many scenarios, decentralization is necessary. The decentralization of blockchain is a self-motivation model. It uses tokens to motivate the community, attract users to participate deeply, and transform them into project partners. Based on the profit-seeking mentality, users spontaneously contribute value, hold tokens, and promote project transformation and technological upgrades. This enthusiasm is contagious, and every new participant contributes to the process of decentralization. In the fields of financial technology, cultural creation, Internet of Things, supply chain and medical services, decentralized thinking is gradually becoming a mainstream trend.

As the underlying application technology, blockchain is showing a trend of continuous development. Blockchain has evolved from 1.0 to 3.0, constantly breaking through itself and bringing help and empowerment to more application fields.
Blockchain 1.0 is also known as Bitcoin blockchain. It mainly supports the application of virtual currency, including transfer, remittance, digital payment and cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is the representative of blockchain 1.0 and the most successful digital currency. The blockchain system is maintained by everyone, without the need to consume manpower and material resources. The decentralized structure greatly reduces costs. At the same time, the openness of data makes it almost impossible to falsify accounts. Blockchain is backed by mathematical algorithms, and its rules are based on an open and transparent mathematical algorithm, which enables people from different political and cultural backgrounds to reach consensus and achieve cross-regional mutual trust. The damage or loss of any node in the blockchain system will not affect the operation of the entire system.
