The unit bias thing? It's wild how powerful it actually is.
Honestly wondering if there's any upside to keeping token supply low anymore. The data's pretty clear at this point—massive supply tokens print because everyone's running the same math in their heads. "What if this hits $1 though..."
You see it everywhere. Doesn't matter if the market cap would be completely absurd. People anchor to that price point, not the valuation. Low price per token just hits different psychologically, even when the numbers don't add up.

Haha, it's true. Whenever I see low-priced coins, I start daydreaming like crazy, without doing any math at all.

You are absolutely right, this is the psychology bug, people are greedy and imagine the moment of $1.

yeah, unit bias is basically the validator equivalent of a poorly calibrated slashing risk model. everyone's running identical calculations in their heads, chasing that $1 fantasy while ignoring stake economics entirely. honestly, watching people anchor to token price instead of market cap is... exhausting. it's not battle-tested thinking, it's just consensus failure dressed up as hope.

To be honest, this psychological game is really amazing, the $1 dream can never be played people for suckers.

Wow, this psychological anchor is really amazing, I've been fooled by it before.
