The fastest way to lose 95% of your capital isn't a sudden market crash, but buying a low-float token right after its launch.

It is a gut-wrenching feeling watching your hard-earned savings evaporate in days while the project team and early insiders walk away with millions. You feel helpless, angry, and trapped in a game that feels rigged against you from the start.

I have watched this movie play out since the 2017 ICO craze. What happened to $LAB, which plummeted from $18 to under $0.90 in just four days, is a classic liquidity trap. Insiders and VC backers often hold tokens acquired at a fraction of a cent, and the moment trading opens, they use retail buy pressure as their exit liquidity.

When a token launches with only a tiny fraction of its supply circulating, the price is easily manipulated upward. Greed blinds us to the unlock schedules, and by the time the dump begins, the order book is too thin to support any selling. It is the same structure that wrecked people on tokens like $FTT and $LUNA during the last cycle. The key to surviving this market is checking the fully diluted valuation and vesting smart contracts before putting a single dollar in.

Have you ever been caught in one of these low-float traps?
