In the world of cryptocurrency, the vast majority of financial losses actually stem from two typical traps—either being mired in the quagmire of "zombie coins" or being quietly drained by the "inflation ATM."
In the early days, I almost lost 20,000 USDT due to a momentary lapse in judgment. If you don't want to become the next target to be harvested, please recognize the essence of these two types of assets.
1. Stagnant "zombie coins": Remnants of the digital age
Identifying them is not difficult: the technology has long stagnated, the code has not been updated for years; the community is silent, the Telegram group has no one speaking, and Twitter is left with hollow hype slogans (sometimes AI, sometimes metaverse, but there has been no substantial progress); more dangerously, they may be delisted by exchanges at any time, sometimes even going to zero in a day, leaving no chance for stop-loss. The teams behind these projects have long withdrawn, and the coin price will only continue to decline, ultimately becoming a "digital wasteland" on the blockchain.
2. Infinite "inflation ATM": A tool for teams and early investors to profit
These projects treat tokens as paper money that can be issued at will, and once the unlocking period arrives, they sell off recklessly. Early investors quickly exit, leaving retail investors to bear the selling pressure. The longer you hold, the more severe the asset dilution, and the inflation rate can even far exceed that of fiat currency. For example, OMG dropped from $20 to $0.2, a decline of 99%; FIL faces a plummet every time it unlocks, with countless people being repeatedly harvested. You think you've hit the bottom, but in reality, you're only providing profits for the manipulators.
The real warning is:
Do not chase seemingly "cheap" prices—that is often a disguise for deep pits;
Do not rely on illusory "sentiment"—99% of outdated projects can never be revived;
Stay away from tokens that are mechanically destined to have continuous inflation.
