"DEX Paid" mechanisms used to generate real market enthusiasm. Lately though, the pattern's shifted—tokens pump, then everyone rushes for the exits. Is this just market maturation, or are we seeing a fundamental change in how traders engage with these incentive models? The sentiment swing is pretty stark.

It's just a coin flip betting game, nothing really new.

Damn, it's the same old trick again—pump and run, no one wants to take the final step.

This trick has been played out, just a different disguise for the old pump and dump routine.

ngl, the data on this is pretty damning. empirically speaking, we're just watching another round of token-weighted voting theater where liquidity providers act as rational actors until they suddenly aren't. classic coordination failure dressed up as "market maturation"

To be honest, I've seen this routine many times... first hype it up, then collectively run away, and repeat the cycle. It all feels like a scam to harvest the little guys.

To be honest, this is just a hot potato game—pump and run, everyone knows it.
