Launching a token in the current market sounds crazy to most people. Uncertainty isn’t something you’re “supposed” to leverage, but historically, it’s exactly where a lot of wealth changes hands. If managed well, though, a market like this, where expectations are low and even BTC struggles to hold, becomes a real test, a successful launch in this environment doesn’t just pump, it shows resilience through volatility and proves strength under pressure. Call me crazy, but in markets like this, marketing is at its cheapest if you execute it right!

Trade Point is personal. Imagine you have a good VCs who truly believes in the philosophy of your company and wants to support you. But they are very well aware that you have three or four other VCs in the same round. Oftentimes there's nothing that makes VCs row together. What usually happens is a fight for which VC gets out first and takes the most money. How can a good VC support a company losing out to other VCs who are just there to extract value short-term? It helps if you align with VCs by acknowledging their interest to exit, but catering to this is not nearly enough. The real answer is equal, controlled distribution. If a company enforces fair rules around liquidation, it protects the asset. If the VCs really trust you, and haven't done any dodgy things on the secondary market, they should welcome it. It’s the most fair thing to do for the token's survival.

Conversations like this are important for the industry, when builders, regulators and capital start speaking openly, the path for real adoption becomes much clearer. Great to see @YellowMedia_HQ bringing voices like this to the table!
