been looking at Sign Protocol for a bit and something about the sequence doesn’t sit the way it usually does in crypto. normally the token is the starting point and the business tries to form around it later but here it feels slightly reversed. by the time $SIGN became tradable there were already mentions of 15 million projected revenue for 2024 and around 16 million raised overall which isn’t something you usually see this early in the cycle.
when the holder program went live on march 20, the conversation shifted exactly where it always does in this market. wallets, positioning, entries rotations the usual flow took over almost instantly. but that shift kind of buried the more interesting part for me.
the token doesn’t feel like the beginning of the story here. it feels more like a visible layer of something that was already operating underneath. that’s probably why it reads a little differently when I look at it. not cleaner, not safer just harder to dismiss in the usual way.
and I can’t shake the feeling that most people are reading it in the wrong order, starting from the chart instead of the system behind it.
