Vicious cycle starts. Hype lifts prices, teams grab funds. Product fails? Tokens dump, value crashes. Project ghosts, investors lose.
Running out of road? Teams face tough choices:
| Option | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Layoffs & Pivot | Cut staff, chase new trends. Delays real work. |
| Rug Pull | Team vanishes with funds. Kills trust. |
| Token Dump | Sell holdings, crash price. Short-term win, long-term loss. |

| Pump.fun | $1.5B | $100M | 15x |
| Others (avg) | $10B+ | $0 | Infinite |

run on tricks: tokens, VC, hype. House of cards. Top dogs build paywalls. In grown market, earnings beat all.
