Many novice investors are wary of the rebase mechanism. What exactly is the reason? Mainly, it’s because the price volatility characteristics of such tokens make it difficult to adapt— the number of tokens held will automatically adjust, but the account value may not necessarily increase accordingly. Coupled with the fact that many rebase projects have collapsed due to poor design, this further deepens people's doubts. In fact, rebase itself is not a bad thing; the key depends on how the project team uses it— a well-designed rebase mechanism can maintain the stability of the token’s purchasing power, but only if there is genuine economic fundamentals backing it. This is also why many retail investors still prefer traditional token models, as they involve less uncertainty and are psychologically more reassuring.

Rebase, to put it simply, is just putting on a different mask to scam investors. I've seen too many projects die because of this.

Basically, the rebase system is too easy to manipulate for quick gains, and even if the tokens decrease, the enthusiasm still cools down.

In plain terms, rebase is a mirror that exposes the failure of governance mechanism design— from AMPL to OHM, the whitepapers are full of fancy words, but once on-chain data comes out, it's all trash.
