There's a lot of talk going around about this lately.
Honestly, creator-endorsed coins and creator app tokens aren't really the core issue here. What's actually happening is traders see one of these endorsed projects do a 100x, and suddenly the real problem emerges—everyone starts launching tokens for non-crypto builders who have zero business being in the space.
Once that flood starts, a totally different game forms. The whole dynamic shifts. Traders aren't chasing innovation anymore; they're just chasing the pattern they saw work before. It becomes pure momentum trading—whoever can launch fastest, whoever has the biggest following, wins. The builders, the actual vision, the tech—none of that matters anymore when money just flows to whatever's trending.

Basically, it's just a copycat game now—whoever is faster wins.

Exactly right, this is purely a trend-following game now.

Basically, it's just a bunch of followers, copying and pasting wildly after seeing others achieve 100x returns. Truly technical projects have long been drowned out.

Basically, it's just a herd mentality following the trend, nobody really cares about how the project itself is doing.

Oh my, it's the same old story. As soon as one coin skyrockets, everyone follows suit. The IQ tax is really being collected in full.

You're absolutely right. A 100x increase can trigger a chain reaction. Now the crypto world is really just following the trend to take off—who's faster wins.

Honestly, with 100x leverage, anything can fly—this is the real problem.
