To Sell or Hold Tokens? A Crypto Comedy of Errors!

by

A new report has thrown gas on the eternal dumpster fire of crypto: Should you hold onto your airdropped tokens like a lovesick puppy or sell them faster than a Mel Brooks punchline?

According to a trader’s data, most airdropped tokens plummet faster than a Looney Tunes anvil. Spoiler: selling might be the smarter move. 🪂💸

Most Tokens Crash Harder Than a Silent Movie Piano

In a recent X post (formerly Twitter, formerly sanity), crypto trader Didi spilled the tea on airdrops. Turns out, most tokens tank faster than a villain in a Mel Brooks movie. For example, M3M3 dropped 99.64%, Elixir fell 99.50%, and USUAL declined 97.67%. Yikes! 📉🎭

Even big names weren’t safe. Magic Eden? Down 96.6%. Jupiter? Fell 75.9%. Monad? Dropped 39.13%. The only outlier was Avantis, which gained 30.4%. But hey, even Mel Brooks had flops. 🤷‍♂️

“Out of the 30 airdrops I’ve received since December 2024, only one is trading slightly above its TGE price today. Yet selling an airdrop at launch somehow makes you a ‘traitor.’ Let’s be honest about the game we’re playing. We’re all here to make money. Anyone telling you otherwise is lying to themselves,” Didi tweeted. 🕵️‍♂️💬

Historical data suggests holding altcoins long-term is like betting on a horse with three legs. Spoiler: you lose. 🎲🐎

“Understand the environment you’re operating in and prioritize capital preservation above everything else. Profits are only real once they’re realized,” Didi added. 💡💸

Industry analysis backs this up. Memento Research looked at 118 token launches in 2025 and found that 84.7% are trading below their TGE valuation. Talk about a crypto comedy of errors! 🤡📊

Even worse, 65% of those tokens lost around 50% of their value, and over half are down 70% or more. It’s like a crypto version of “The Producers”-everything’s a flop! 🎭📉

The report also pointed out that projects with high fully diluted valuations (FDV) tanked the hardest. Of the 28 launches with an FDV of $1 billion or more, none are green today. Not one. Nada. Zilch. 🚫💸

“When you split the year by starting FDV quartiles, the pattern is clear: the cheapest and lowest FDV launches were the only bucket with a meaningful survival rate (40% green) and a relatively mild median drawdown (~-26%), while everything above mid-pack basically got repriced into the floor with median losses of ~-70% to -83% and almost no greens,” the report read.

One analyst summed it up perfectly: “Whoever isn’t selling most of these drops at TGE is retarded or doesn’t understand how valuation works.” Brutal, but fair. 🔥💼

Airdrop Fatigue: When Even Free Money Feels Like a Scam

Investor interest in airdrops is fading faster than a Mel Brooks cameo. Why? Because the model has become overly complex, exclusionary, and ripe for abuse. 🤦‍♂️🔒

Back in the day, airdrops were simple-connect your wallet, get your tokens. Now? You need a PhD in blockchain and a time machine to qualify. 🕰️🎓

“4 figures was pretty easy back then. Now 4 figures are the top,” one user lamented. 💸📉

Another analyst declared, “Airdrop meta in 2025 is cooked. Don’t waste months grinding for scraps while farmers eat 20%.” Sounds like crypto’s version of “Springtime for Hitler.” 🌼🇩🇪

“Airdrop meta in 2025 is cooked. Don’t waste months grinding for scraps while farmers eat 20%,” Zamza Salim remarked. 🍳🚜

Long story short, airdrops are a risky business. Tokens crash, investors lose faith, and the whole model feels like a Mel Brooks parody gone wrong. But hey, at least we’re laughing-through tears. 😂😭
