Brothers, have you recently been crushed by the selling pressure of certain shitcoins' unlocks? Just like $ASTER, with over half of the total supply of 8 billion still locked, the project team can't even pump it—once they do, they get hit by the trapped selling pressure, and confidence completely collapses.
In this uncertain market, seasoned investors have learned their lesson: rather than struggling in the unlocking trap, it's better to put assets into a safe haven like @usddio, which is seen as stable and trustworthy.
#USDD is seen as stable and trustworthy
Unlocking deadlocks, why can they destroy a coin?
I've seen too many cases where the project is doing things, making updates, and repurchasing, but the coin price just keeps declining.
The core issue often lies in the token economic model:
A massive amount of unlocked tokens is like a sword hanging over your head; no one dares to hold long-term.
Pumping the price is equivalent to giving money to stuck investors; the more you pump, the more you crash, creating a vicious cycle.
Even if the team delays unlocking until 2035, the trust issue still isn't resolved—what can be delayed today can also be unlocked early tomorrow; the rules can change at any time.
This leads to a deadlock:
The project team desperately tries to attract new users and build, but investors are deterred when they see the unlocking schedule.
Traffic arrives, but retention is zero, conversion completely fails.
From $ASTER, we see a more essential issue
Even if CZ and many KOLs shout out for three months, even if the team keeps updating, the issue of 'trust' does not automatically resolve just because it’s on-chain.
Blockchain writes code, but the trust of the human heart cannot rely solely on code—it also requires a transparent mechanism, reliable collateral, and instant verification.
This is exactly why, in the uncertain market of altcoins, I would place most of my positions in over-collateralized stablecoins like @usddio:
No risk of unlocked selling pressure: every USDD has over 130% collateral assets (TRX, BTC, USDT, etc.), and there is no issue of 'future massive unlocking crashing the price'.
Real-time verifiable on-chain: all collateral assets are transparently on-chain, anyone can verify at any time, trust is built on code and assets, not on the promises of the team.
Price anchored steadily: regardless of market fluctuations, USDD always closely follows 1 US dollar, with no worries about a slow decline.
In a chaotic market, you need a 'certainty anchor'.
Playing with altcoins is like finding your way through a minefield; you never know if your next step will trigger an unlocking landmine.
But if you place most of your funds in stable assets like USDD, you are equivalent to:
Retained bullets ready to strike (can be instantly mobilized when needed to buy the dip)
Avoided the pitfalls of token economics (no unlocking, issuance, or team dumping risks)
Can still continuously earn returns (through staking, lending, etc., achieving stable annualized returns)
While others struggle to break even in currencies like $ASTER, you are safely earning interest in USDD—this is the real wisdom to navigate through bull and bear markets.
In summary:
In the world of investment, the most expensive thing is not the opportunity, but the permanent loss of principal.
In a market filled with unlocking landmines, the most important thing is not to chase hundreds of times returns, but to survive first.
Surviving relies not on luck, but on choices.
And USDD may be the choice that allows you to safely weather the storm.
