Introduction:
Everyone is talking about the $40M free tokens in the USD1 Campaign. But as a retail trader, I’ve realized that in Crypto, "free" often comes with a hidden price. Here is my perspective on why this might be more of a bait than a gift.
1. The "Bait and Trap" Strategy
While traders are locked into the campaign waiting for their $1 rewards, the market can be extremely volatile. I've seen many beginners get "their legs broken" because they were too focused on the $40M giveaway while their main assets were crashing.
2. The Liquidation Zone
For Future traders, these campaigns act as bait to increase trading volume. But with high volatility, most of these traders get liquidated before the campaign even ends. They lose their capital chasing a small token reward.
3. My Advice: Eat the Bait, Avoid the Hook
Don't let the "Free Money" blind you.
Focus on Spot: Keep your core assets (like SOL or BTC) safe.
DCA is King: Use market drops to lower your average price rather than just chasing new tokens.
Risk Management: If you join the campaign, don't forget to watch your liquidation levels.
Conclusion:
Whales and Billionaires don't feel the pain, but for small traders, we must be smart. Don't just look at what's free; look at what you're risking to get it.
