Someone compared Aster to dydx, saying both have a market cap of around 20 billion. From the issuance logic, the two indeed share similar patterns—they both rely on large-scale airdrops to generate hype. But the issue here is that the unlocking schedule after Aster's launch and the current market environment are completely different.

Looking back at dydx's wave, both the market background and the unlocking progress were far better than now. Aster faces a much more intense unlocking impact. Under ongoing market pressure, the entire valuation system is also under stress, with a bottom support level around 0.1. To be honest, this price level isn't exactly very solid.

In the short term, the logic of doing T (trading for profit) is actually quite risky. Without a clear bottom consensus, repeated testing will only push the price lower. If you insist on participating, long-term holding requires even more caution, as the risks could far exceed expectations.

Aster this wave feels like a trap, comparing it to dydx is just ridiculous, they are completely two different eras... The unlocking progress is so aggressive, 0.1 is really unstable, still looking for the bottom. Want to do T? Are you out of your mind? Without bottom consensus, just keep pushing down. Holding this thing long-term... I think I'll pass, the risks are indeed much higher than expected. This time, you're going to get cut again.

Compared to crappy games, the market environment for dydx back then was completely different. Now, Aster's unlocking pace is indeed aggressive. Don't even think about doing T, there's no consensus at the bottom, and the more you copy, the lower it gets. Holding long-term? You really need to ask yourself if you can still afford this risk in your pocket.

dydx that wave is simply incomparable. The market environment back then was completely different. Now, Aster's unlocking pace is indeed aggressive. To be honest, there's no consensus at the bottom yet, and still daring to repeatedly do T? The routine of falling more and more with each attempt is old news. 0.1 at this level isn't really support. The real bottom-fishing opportunity hasn't arrived yet.

0.1 can't even hold up. Instead of doing T, it's better to lie flat and wait for the bottom.

dydx that market environment is excellent, no doubt about it. Now Aster's rhythm is simply going against the trend. Who can withstand the unlocking sell-off? Can't even hold 0.1 steady. Trading T? I really don't dare to buy the dip without a bottom consensus. --- Honestly, it's just different luck; the same tactics are useless. --- Airdrops to gather popularity are played out, the key still depends on whether the market accepts this approach. --- Those holding positions should be careful; this downward trend isn't over yet. --- No one can clearly say where the bottom is. I prefer to avoid if I can. --- Relying on unlocking pressure so heavily, it's hard to stay stable. --- dydx's success can't be replicated; the environment is too different. --- It looks quite similar, but actually worlds apart. Entering now is a bit like gambling.

Oh, wait, the market environment for dydx back then wasn't as bad as it is now. Trading T really depends on luck; without a bottom consensus, it's just gambling. Aster's unlocking wave feels like it's going to cause a surge. The 0.1 support level isn't really reliable either, brother. Airdrop tokens all follow this pattern, but the timing is way off.
