🚨 How have we been eating FDV marketing bullshit for 4 years straight?
Ever since the retro trend started, during research we all looked at a project’s FDV and thought: “Wow, this is a big one.”
But almost nobody ever asked the real question — how the fuck is this number actually calculated?
It’s ridiculously simple:
Project X issues 1 billion tokens.
Fund Y invests $10 million at $0.5 per token (buys 20 million tokens).
On paper, the FDV instantly becomes $500 million and gets blasted across every aggregator.
This is NOT real market value.
It’s just a paper deal between a fund and the project in an early round.
That’s why for years we’ve been seeing projects with tiny circulating supply and massively inflated FDV — and calling them “huge”.
In reality, it was just beautiful marketing on paper.
Now it makes sense why most tokens dump 80-95% right after TGE, right? 🚬
