We really need to discuss this issue:

When a crypto asset (like MANTA) gets involved in a legal dispute and suddenly rebounds to its all-time high during the litigation process, how should investor losses be calculated in this situation?

Should it be based on the price at the time of the transaction, or determined by the final outcome after the legal proceedings are concluded?

This not only involves the calculation of investment returns but also relates to the logic of legal liability. If the asset price fluctuates dramatically during the lawsuit, the standard for loss assessment will be completely different. Someone might incur losses at the low point but end up making a profit due to the price rebound—who should be legally responsible in this case?

MANTA-9,56%

On-chain data shows that MANTA's recent rebound is a bit strange... It is worth noting that price fluctuations during litigation are essentially the market's re-pricing of risk premiums, and there is no standard for loss recognition points.

This question is really sharp; the law can't keep up with the speed of the crypto world, so no one can really clarify it. MANTA's situation has completely confused me. How can they both be awarded damages and look at the final price? Rebounding to a new high during litigation? Damn, what's the difference from harvesting the leek? The ones who buy at the low point suffer the most, but in the end, they make money. Who should compensate? Honestly, there's no legal framework for this kind of situation; it's all explorers figuring things out afterward.

Hey, this issue is giving me a headache... Who ends up losing and who gains in this MANTA situation? --- Law is really just the same old thing from the fiat world. How do you calculate when the crypto prices change daily? --- Honestly, if the price rebounds to ATH but still results in a loss... then it's purely a matter of timing. Who's responsible for that? --- Wait, if you got caught at a low point and now you've broken even, you're actually losing money? Isn't that logic backwards? --- The MANTA case is truly exceptional. The problem is that the legal world hasn't kept up with the pace of the crypto industry. --- I'm a bit confused. During the lawsuit, the price went back up. Isn't that considered investors' self-rescue? --- That's why I keep saying that public chain governance is more reliable than law. At least smart contracts are transparent. --- The most ridiculous part is that some people want it both ways: calling for compensation when prices are low, but remaining silent when prices rebound... Have you seen anyone like that?

That's a good question. Basically, it's a deadlock between law and the market. Who the hell can explain it clearly? Rebounding to a high during legal disputes? That's just like a casino—win or lose all depends on luck. Brothers who cut losses at the low point are probably wanting to smash their keyboards now seeing the price rebound. Why should I take the blame for this? In my opinion, the transaction price should be the benchmark. Otherwise, how can legal responsibility be determined? It's all nonsense. Litigation and compensation in such cases can drive people crazy. One cryptocurrency, one ruling? The most disgusting thing is that some people use price fluctuations to wash their hands of responsibility. The legal system really can't keep up with the speed of the crypto world.

This is outrageous. How does the law handle this? Even the legal teams in the crypto circle can't figure it out, haha. By the way, MANTA's move this time is really clever. After trapping people, it can still rebound to a new high? That's ruthless. There should have been clear standards for legal accountability long ago; otherwise, defending rights will always be a joke. Rebounding to a new historical high and making a profit? Then I want to ask how the court determines the amount of loss. That is indeed a problem. This issue hits the nail on the head. The legal framework in the crypto world is a tangled mess.
