When a major launchpad added Almanak to its lineup, it raised some eyebrows—myself included. The project didn't seem like the typical fit for such a prominent platform.
And frankly, the numbers backed up my skepticism.
The ICO priced Almanak at $0.09 per token, translating to a 90M FDV. Reasonable on paper. But here's where it gets ugly: within 30 seconds of hitting the exchange, the valuation cratered from 190M to 50M.
That's not a correction. That's a bloodbath.
When tokens hemorrhage 75% of their paper value in half a minute, it tells you everything about the disconnect between hype and fundamentals. Sometimes your gut feeling about a project proves right, and the market data confirms it almost instantly.
It's the same old trick: big platforms endorse it, so people rush in, but the moment it hits the exchange, the true nature is exposed.
Intuition is right—the market quickly verifies it, to an almost unbelievable degree.
Such obvious disalignment—what about the big platform reviews? Or is it now that project teams can just throw money around and get anything listed?
A 75% drop in 30 seconds, I have to say, wow.
Another garbage project backed by a big platform.
It feels like these launch platforms have all lost their conscience.
With this rapid bloodbath, someone has been lying in wait for a long time.
It seems I still have to trust my instincts; data will speak.
Another carefully orchestrated rug pull, I've seen through it long ago
My intuition was right, the data is also irrefutable, what else can I say
Such projects on major platforms? I think it's just ridiculous
You're paying the IQ tax way too quickly.
