Okay, I know that the founders are pretty clever and accomplished, but you could say that of
just about every Layer 1 project. Why is Aptos special ? What does it bring to the space that other
L1 projects can not offer ?
For me Aptos is a whale coin. If i remember correctly, then the team behind Aptos has raised more than 400 Million $ from the big VC's. One of them was Alameda (FTX), that is also the reason why the Aptos coin lost a lot of value when the events around FTX unfolded a few weeks ago. Now that everything is recovering again projects that have lost harder than the average before just gain more than the average.
In addition to that though i also think that whales are manipulating the Aptos price. I read somewhere that the first big token unlock of the VC's is happening in a few months or so and that is why they are pumping the price now. As a small investor i would not touch Aptos until all the seed and private sale tokens are unlocked.
