Recently, I've been watching the RIVER project, and to be honest, it's a bit frightening. The recent attack event has left the market confidence still not fully recovered—someone used a combination of short selling and concentrated exchanges to force the price down by over 50%. The shadow cast by this is not so easily dissipated.

Although the project team responded quickly—shutting down the exchange channels, initiating buybacks, and upgrading mechanisms (adding daily limits and strengthening staking mechanisms)—the fundamental problem remains unresolved: liquidity is inherently fragile. Once a slightly larger order comes in, the price still drops.

What’s even more heartbreaking is that a large amount of tokens are still locked up, and the future unlocking pressure is looming. When the market shows any signs of turbulence, these kinds of tokens tend to fall the hardest—selling pressure and panic sell-offs come together, and no one can stop it.

Ultimately, it’s about: the market is unstable, selling pressure is still being released, and the risk of entering now to buy the dip is too high—it's not worth gambling.

It's another domino effect—one flash crash destroys the entire market confidence; it's too hard to save.

This dish is beyond saving; a single poke and the liquidity collapses.

Liquidity is so fragile that no matter how much the project team adds, it's just treating the symptoms and not the root cause. It's actually a ticking time bomb; the real test will come when the unlocking wave arrives.

Smiling and then crying, RIVER is just a ticking time bomb. When the unlock day comes, we the retail investors will say goodbye. --- Liquidity is as fragile as paper; project teams' patches can't save it. In short, it's structurally rotten. --- A 50% drop is not the end; once the lock-up pressure is released, it will still break through. For this kind of token, I choose to lie flat. --- Short selling + exchange combo punch this wave, directly crushing RIVER players' mentality. Entering now is just gambling on people's stupidity. --- "Today’s Retail Investor Diary" Day-N: Watching RIVER's K-line, I finally understand what despair's temperature feels like. --- Rather than bottom-fishing RIVER, it's better to wait for the real bottom during major market movements. This token is now just a pit. --- The project team’s various patch operations seem diligent, but they can't save the fragile liquidity structure. Data will speak. --- Selling pressure hasn't been fully released, and the lock-up is still overhead. Do you dare to gamble on this? I don't dare, with tears behind my smile.

Really, I'm also watching RIVER. After that attack incident, I can't trust the project's remedial measures anymore; it feels like a last-minute patchwork. What’s the point of a mechanism upgrade? The fundamental issue of fragile liquidity hasn't been fixed. Large holders sell and the price drops to the bottom. And then there are those locked tokens hanging over the project like a bomb. Sooner or later, it's going to explode. I don't dare to buy the dip.
