I’d like to ask, for projects like this that start dropping right after opening, how do the project teams actually make a profit? To put it simply, they are still selling their own tokens from the liquidity pool, not to mention that you need to participate in Alpha financing to get involved. Isn’t this just a second round of harvesting?

Damn, this is the typical way to trap new investors. I've seen through it long ago.

I've seen many projects that crash right at opening; honestly, it's just them playing with themselves.

Really impressive, Alpha funding + opening dump, I've seen this trick many times, it's just legal money-grabbing.

Projects that dump right at the open, to be honest, I've seen it many times. The project team is definitely just trying to harvest profits.

yeah nah, this is basically just the protocol's way of extracting value twice through clever tokenomics. they dump their own lp reserves while claiming "market conditions," then gate the actual utility behind alpha access—textbook rent-seeking disguised as innovation, tbh.
