Recently, I've noticed some new projects using a combination of supply control and narrative building. They carefully design token release mechanisms, restrict circulation, and create a sense of scarcity. At the same time, they pair this with compelling storylines—whether it's technological breakthroughs or ecological visions—to attract retail investors' attention. This combination works particularly well in bear markets or sideways trading conditions. Project teams are well aware of market psychology and know how to drive hype through narrative in a tight supply environment. For traders, these types of tokens indeed present many short-term volatility opportunities, but risks must also be kept in mind.

Oh no, it's that old trick again—tight supply + storyline. I've already been harvested three times.
Retail investors really need to learn to read people. Don't get starry-eyed and buy just because it's scarce.
Short-term fluctuations can be exploited, but you need to have stop-losses, friends.
These project teams are all psychology masters, playing on human greed.
In a bear market, it's the easiest to get cut. Don't ask me how I know.

How long can the illusion of scarcity fool people? After all, in a bear market, it's all storytelling. If the story is good, it still sucks people in.

It's the same old story, supply control + narrative packaging, it sounds just like marketing scripting. Short-term arbitrage is fun, but only when you're caught do you realize what risk really is.

I've seen through this trick a long time ago, it's just hunger marketing combined with storytelling to kill time. One is liquidity crunch, and the other is making big promises. Retail investors are just trapped like this haha

I'm too familiar with this trick. To put it simply, it's just a new way to scam retail investors. Do you really think limited editions are valuable?
