Why the gap between $WOJAK at $25m and $WHITEWHALE at $200m? Token supply concentration tells the story.
Issuing tokens to thousands of retail holders sounds democratic, but it's a recipe for chaos. You end up with fragmented ownership, minimal coordination, and constant selling pressure from scattered small holders. Every bounce gets met with profit-taking; every dip triggers panic.
Contrast that with concentrated supply. Fewer hands holding meaningful chunks create alignment. Holders actually care about long-term success instead of playing daily swings. You get stability, narrative consistency, and a community that can move together.
This doesn't mean centralization is good—it's about finding the sweet spot. Distribution matters, but so does commitment. The difference between a $25m project and a $200m one often comes down to who's actually invested in winning.

Damn, this logic sounds a bit convincing, but retail investors holding just a few hundred or thousand coins start panicking and selling off. Honestly, it's still a mindset issue.

Basically, it's retail investors cutting retail investors, the eternal truth of the crypto world... WW this wave has a good momentum, but don't get too carried away. Once a major player dumps, it will still collapse.

That's right, retail investors getting more and more really just means daily losses... But if you think about it the other way around, large investors being concentrated also makes it easy to be dumped on, who can guarantee they won't run away?

That's right, retail investors holding too many positions just become a bunch of scattered sand, fleeing at the slightest rise... Just look at WOJAK's behavior to understand.

That's right, retail investors holding a lot are actually a burden, constantly thinking about how to run away... It's really better when only a few people hold the assets and work together to push forward.
