Just discovered my token got hit by bundle farming—honestly didn't see that coming. It's wild how some traders exploit new projects by buying multiple wallets worth of tokens to artificially inflate early volumes. Thought the initial momentum looked promising, but turns out a good chunk was just coordinated manipulation.

Anyone else running into this as a project founder? Curious how others tackle this kind of thing. The challenge with emerging tokens is balancing organic community growth against gaming mechanics like this. Definitely a lesson in understanding market dynamics beyond just tokenomics.

Bundle farming is really a brilliant move; early projects are completely defenseless. Watching the volume rise happily for a while, only to find out it's all fake, it's exhausting.

Bundle farming is truly a brilliant move. Connecting a bunch of small wallets can actually create a significant momentum, making it impossible for new projects to defend against it.

Bundle farming is an old trick, I've seen it before, it's just a scheme to exploit beginners.

Bundle farming is really a nightmare for new projects; I’ve been caught off guard by my first two coins.

Bundle farming is really clever; the tactic of using multiple wallets to inflate numbers is as common as harvesting chives on new coins. I've seen too many cases of early TVL being artificially high; behind the impressive data, it's all an illusion.

Oh no, that's why I always say new projects need to be cautious...
