After 100+ investments and probably 500-1000 founders pitching me, I can say this with confidence: Tokenomics rarely tell you anything meaningful about the project. But they tell you a lot about the founder. • High FDV → ego & greed issues • Dual equity/token structures → sees crypto as a cash grab • Over-engineered vesting → low confidence in the product • Massive airdrops → no real GTM, hype over longevity • Over-engineered tokenomics → no product I could go on with this list forever, but you get the point. Well-designed tokenomics are nice to have, but almost never the reason a project succeeds. A great product people actually want can survive terrible tokenomics. The best tokenomics in the world will never save a useless product. Unfortunately most founders confuse the two.
