I thought of a detail——a certain project's $RiverPts has already distributed 803.7M, and those who are now entering are staking $RIVER to earn points. It sounds simple, but the logic is actually very clear: the more tokens someone holds, the more points they will accumulate in the future. This creates a cycle.

The key question here is—how will the scarcity of points change during the three-month unlock period? Either the remaining points upon unlock will be significantly reduced, or it will become increasingly difficult to mine points later on. There is already nearly 200M in redemption volume, and the subsequent competitiveness is expected to weaken more and more. Under this mechanism, the earlier you enter and the more tokens you hold, the greater your chances of winning.

It's the same old trick again, early birds eat worms, latecomers get the dust... --- 803.7M points have been distributed, and you're still rushing in to grab some? --- Got it, the more tokens you have, the more you win forever. We small investors might as well be the bag holders. --- 200M in exchange volume is already so high? In three months, it will definitely crash, the mechanism is designed like a Ponzi scheme. --- Honestly, it's just a matter of time. Early entrants win passively, late entrants get trapped and die. --- This logic... the more you go on, the more points depreciate, being late is like stepping into a trap. --- Staking $RIVER to earn points? Feels like a game of boiling a frog in warm water. --- Wait, when they say the scarcity is shrinking, do they mean... there's nothing left to dig later? --- And some people are only now getting into this thing, their courage is commendable.

803.7M has already been distributed, now those entering are just like drinking soup --- This is a naked example of the Matthew Effect; the more coins you have, the more you get --- After three months, you'll see the points depreciate like paper currency --- 200M in exchange volume has already come out, still want to grab? Dream on --- The earlier you get on, the more you laugh last; latecomers will definitely suffer heavy losses --- Basically, it's a harvesting mechanism for early players; if you don't have coins, don't even think about it --- The mechanism design is too obvious; anyone can see through this trick --- Does no one think about how to maintain this scarcity in the future? --- Anyway, I'm not chasing anymore, the risk is too high

The early adopters are already laughing, and those of us who came later are just waiting to be diluted. It's the same old trick—more tokens mean more power. With this point depreciation rate, after three months, it might not even be worth toilet paper. Throwing 800M to mine? I don't believe you.

803.7M has all been released, this wave is really the rhythm of cutting leeks If you can't catch the early bird, let's just not play Staking to earn points? Feels like a game of hot potato This mechanism clearly favors the rich; us poor folks don't stand a chance 200M in exchange volume so quickly... how desperate must the later participants be Will it crash in three months, everyone? Who dares to gamble? More tokens mean more power, our small positions really have no competitiveness The scarcity of points will definitely collapse; those who sell high make money, those who buy in lose big I really don't understand why people are still buying, the logic is so obvious Isn't this just the market maker manipulating the price? Leeks, don't be fooled

Is this the same old trick again, the rich getting richer? --- 803.7M has already been distributed? So what’s left for the new entrants to profit from... --- Basically, entering now is like working for the early birds. The logic makes sense but it’s also too ruthless. --- If it unlocks on March 1st and dumps immediately, I bet five bucks. --- Just want to know if there are any new staking pools coming up, otherwise this really is a dead end. --- A classic time arbitrage game: the later you enter, the harder it is to make a big profit. If I had known, I would have bought last month. --- 200M in exchange volume is already so high? I think I’ll wait and see, don’t want to get caught in the last wave. --- Having more tokens really makes you the parent, the mechanism is cleverly designed to solidify wealth gaps. --- Feels like it’s a bit late to enter now; the hype should be cooling down. --- Not everyone can catch the first wave of benefits; the pace this time seems to be getting tighter and tighter. --- Basically, it’s the Matthew Effect: the strong get stronger, and latecomers can only accept defeat.
