Where Tokens Go Wrong

Insider Advantages
Bundling and front-running make it easy for attackers to win and scare away long term holders
Lack of Transparency
Unclear sales mechanics on handrolled smart contracts set everyone up for pain
Broken Tokenomics
Poor token models kill momentum, with insiders holding too much or misaligned community incentives
Poor Execution and Trust
Even great ideas fail with weak execution. Bugs, slow development, or poor UX drive users away.
Exploitation by Bots and Snipers
Unprotected launches often get hijacked by trading bots and snipers who buy large portions early and dump them for a quick profit, wrecking prices before real users can even participate.
