The crypto market still lacks legitimacy. Token holders need real protections—not just the promise of profits. Right now, most teams operate without accountability. They mobilize communities, build hype, benefit from early supporters, then exit without consequence. It's a pattern we've seen repeat. When projects treat token holders as temporary ATMs rather than stakeholders with actual rights, why would anyone commit to holding long term? Real market maturity means governance frameworks that match traditional finance—transparency, accountability, and actual recourse when teams abandon their commitments. Until that happens, skepticism from serious investors is completely justified.
