There's a pattern we're seeing more often in the market lately—new projects launching USD1 trading pairs, then pushing hard to convince traders that their specific pair is the only worthwhile one. The pitch is usually the same: massive token allocation controlled by the team (often 60%+ of total supply), paired with aggressive messaging that this particular pair is the way to go. We've watched several projects run this exact playbook with tokens like bonk and wlfi, treating their pair as some kind of golden standard while dismissing every alternative. It's worth asking: is this genuine market strategy, or just another example of concentrated tokenomics pushing marketing narratives?

ngl I've seen this routine so many times, with teams locking in the main chips and then aggressively marketing their own line... That wave of bonk was really outrageous, and now wlfi is starting to play the same game again. I'm really fed up.

Look at this trick... As soon as the MACD just had a golden cross, they started hyping up their trading pair, with 60% of the funds in the team’s hands. This technical setup is not healthy at all.

Old tricks again, the team controls 60% of the market and is still marketing and packaging. Wake up, everyone.

Coming back with this again? The team controls 60% of the supply and still brainwashes everyone to say their trading pair is the best. I've seen that wave of bonk too many times, it's really annoying.

Old tricks, still playing the same game? The team controls 60% of the market and still dares to claim they're the only way out. Just forget about it.

Damn, it's the same old trick again. The team hoards tokens and then brainwashes users into a single trading pair. I'm really tired of seeing this.

60% team holdings, still dare to boast that a certain trading pair is the only way out? RSI has long been overbought, I think this launch window is questionable.
