A major wallet of a certain project has shown unusual activity again, as the whale holding 10 million tokens has launched a new round of incentive plans. After consecutively releasing two Alpha opportunities, what seems to be active is actually a carefully designed market harvesting cycle. Large holders stimulate enthusiasm by releasing positive news to attract retail investors to buy in, which is a common tactic in the crypto world. This pattern repeatedly appears in major projects, and investors need to be cautious of the risks involved. Once such a participant with a massive holding starts to sell off, the market impact cannot be underestimated.

10 million tokens? Uh, just hearing this number already smells like a scam to cut leeks. --- It's the same old trick again—Alpha, incentives, positive news... following the script, retail investors really fall for this. --- When whales sell off, we have to eat noodles. To put it bluntly, this is just a pump-and-dump scheme. --- Always the same routine, I'm used to it, but I still love to watch it for reference. --- Two consecutive Alphas? Bro, this is an invitation for the bagholders. --- Holding 10 million tokens and still pushing incentives? Impressive... but the risk is definitely there. --- Wake up, everyone. This is a harvesting cycle. Don't be fooled by the hype.

ngl, the governance primitives here are... let's say sub-optimal. these whale incentive structures have some pretty non-trivial externalities. historical precedent suggests this path dependency isn't exactly novel.

Here we go again with this routine? I already know all the tricks before dumping 10 million coins.

lol another "alpha opportunity" followed by the inevitable dump. MEV optimization meets market manipulation—the classic combo. when your validator attrition rate matches the whale's sell pressure, something's fundamentally broken about the incentive structure here.
