Now, what happens to the new investors? What if the coin stays in <$1 range for a long time? They lose a huge amount of money, right?
Obviously got rekt. I checked also them cause a lot have been talking about this project. They have a promotional airdrop/staking everyday with different percentage as long as you hold your coin on the wallet or kucoin exchange. But the thing is after payout the token usually dumped afterwards. I still saw it at $1.5$ but now its $1. Possibly it could go down more.
maybe the chance that token can touch $4 again is by using DeFi hype, but will this hype survive?
This ia not a good way to boost a project. They can used or incorporate defi, but relying on hype is like begging to the market to buy your coins. Ampl should improve their system to get more demand not due to hype.
