Don't remind me again today

Ever wondered why some tokens show tiny market caps but crazy high FDV numbers?



Here's the deal: massive portions of their supply aren't circulating yet. They're sitting locked up somewhere:

• Project foundations hoarding reserves for future use
• Ecosystem funds waiting to deploy
• Team members and validators holding vested stakes
• Burnt tokens or permanently frozen wallets

The gap between current cap and full valuation? That's your locked supply doing the math. Understanding this split matters way more than most traders realize.

Ha, that's why people keep getting scammed... They see the FDV hyped up but then realize there's no real liquidity.

Wait, is the huge difference between market cap and FDV really just due to token lockups? I feel like most projects aren’t actually that transparent.

Oh, so that's why I keep getting rekt by these projects... Turns out that's the real reason.

Locked supply is just a trap set by the project team for retail investors—a seemingly cheap price that is actually an illusion already divided up in advance.
