Thanks, Turbulence.

I care about token allocation because i like to be conversant with the scope of the dump potential.

Few things about dumps:

-So far they haven't even happened like that for ICOs, its really an overblown thing across these forums thus far. ICOs that dump are in the extreme minority.

-You may not be big on the product, but the teams behind them are. Where you think it's a good price to leave, it's likely not even close to the prices they have in mind even if they were to dump.

-The circulating supply doesn't have to be small for a dump to LARGELY affect the price. Every smart crypto reserves n amount of tokens for whatever reason. Hypothetical scenario: If the circulating supply was 70% of the total supply, if the team dumped 10% of the total token supply all at once that would have a HUGE impact on the price. If we likened that to a 10% BTC dump (just of whats circulating) that would be a kin to someone selling $16 billion usd worth at once. We've seen flash crashes already with amounts not even in the hundreds of millions being dumped in the short term. Don't think you are safe from a dump just because the percentage of a circulating supply is higher with a different coin. Even a 1% dump could have a huge impact, ESPECIALLY with an illiquid coin.

Don't forget, there are whales that purchased from the circulating supply that can dump and do big price manipulation as well and TBH, that happens alot more often then the teams dumping.
