#数字资产行情上升 A founder of a top-tier exchange invested in the Limitless project, acquiring LMTS tokens worth $179,000. This tactic is actually a common industry practice known as "investor benefits"—early-stage allocation to secure team quotas or low-cost tokens, which serve as mutual endorsements between the project team and influential figures.
On the surface, Hayes's backing can give LMTS a "big shot endorsement" halo. But it's important to distinguish that the costs in the primary market are entirely different. They received tokens at bargain prices or even directly gifted, while retail investors are chasing after the tokens in the secondary market—these are fundamentally different situations—this is essentially riding on someone else's coattails.
Onchain Lens's on-chain data shows that these tokens came from transferred locked wallets, which basically means there are still unlocking restrictions. The project team’s move is clever—they leverage the influence of big figures to boost hype while using lock-ups to prevent short-term dumping pressure. From a market cap management perspective, it’s quite shrewd.
The problem is, retail investors see big shots holding tokens and can't sit still. First, the fundamentals of the LMTS project itself haven't been truly validated by the market; relying solely on endorsements can't sustain long-term value. Second, the big investors' logic is to seize early opportunities in the race—low cost, low risk; retail investors following the trend are usually buying at high prices later on, with a much higher probability of losses and risk.
In simple terms, it’s a game of mutual binding between the project and capital. For ordinary players, just watching the show is enough. If you really want to participate, it’s not impossible—just wait until the project has real progress. Don’t get blinded by FOMO from "same-style investments." Remember, the money big shots make in this circle often comes from retail investors paying the "cognitive tuition."
