Episode notes
Timing Unlocks Changes Token Fate
- Tokens unlocked into a bull market amplify risks from investor cliffs; one-year cliffs hitting during bulls can make tokens unsustainable.
- Spencer notes Pengu's one-year unlock in December helped its sustainability because market conditions supported the unlock.
Avoid Funding Operations By Dumping Tokens
- Prepare multi-year non-liquid runway to run token launch operations rather than treating the TGE as a company liquidity event.
- Spencer warns teams that using token proceeds to fund operations then dumping allocated tokens collapses price and invites delisting.
Relative Strength Wins Preparation For Rallies
- Relative performance during flat markets matters more than absolute moves because future broad rallies favor projects that showed strength.
- Spencer builds Burb Game tokenomics to reward engagement and generate market buys from players, improving relative strength.
