"We've partnered with a major corporation! Buy now!"

As soon as the good news breaks, individual investors press the buy button. The price seems to rise, but then plummets. You complain, "The powers that be are gone," but your account is already empty. Was it a scam? No. You didn't look into the project's "economic structure (tokenomics)."

◆ Are 10-won coins cheap? The illusion of unit price.

The most common mistake beginners make is focusing solely on the "price" of a single coin. "Bitcoin is 100 million won, so it's too expensive. Why not just buy a 10 won coin and double it when it hits 20 won?"

This is a dangerous misconception. Whether you cut a pizza into four or 100 slices, the pizza is the same size. If the issuance volume is hundreds of billions, the market capitalization of a 10-won coin could already be in the trillions. People are buying "heavy coins" with no room for further growth, believing they are "cheap."

◆ Invisible Bomb, FDV and Unlock

What's even more frightening is the "hidden supply." The current circulating supply on exchanges could be just the tip of the iceberg. Investment experts always check the "Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV)" figure. This figure represents the market capitalization when all outstanding supply is factored in.

What if the current circulating supply is only 10%, with the remaining 90% locked up with the development team and early investors (VCs)? Every time the "unlock" occurs, the market will be flooded with a flood of coins. Even if the market capitalization remains constant, the increase in the number of coins inevitably leads to a price crash. This is the fear of "token inflation."

◆ "What is good tokenomics?"

Early investors bought coins at prices 100 times lower than yours. The day their holdings are released (Unlock Day) is a "profit-taking day" for them, and a "cleaning day" for the retail investors.

Before investing, check only three things in the whitepaper or public disclosure site.

  1. Distribution ratio: Did insiders (team/VC) take too much of the stock?

  2. Unlock Schedule: When will the bulk of the inventory be released?

  3. Inflation: How many new coins are printed each year?

Going in just by looking at the chart without checking this is like pouring water into a leaky bucket.

👉 [Survival Strategy] Avoiding coins that will experience a 90% decline is more important than finding a coin that will rise 100x. Master the practical analysis method for filtering out bad tokenomics in TokenPost Academy's "Step 2: The Analyst."
