Holding Cookie tokens through the staking program seemed like a solid play for gaining early positioning. Backed 5x down since lock-up began, and the narrative has completely flipped. What started as confidence in the project's roadmap has turned into frustration—token holders are waiting for unlock clarity that simply isn't coming from the team. The communication gap is real. Every day without updates pushes more community members toward the exit. When projects go quiet during downturns, it sends a message. Whether intentional or not, silence erodes the trust stakers put in at the start. Right now, you've got a lot of bagholders asking hard questions and getting nothing back.
