I've noticed that when a new cryptocurrency hits the market, the Initial Public Offering price (IPO) is as high as it is going to be as it roars out of the gate. But unless the coin takes off from there, I think of this as jumping off a cliff.
When it lands, it finds its level and stays near there for a long time. It may climb some peaks and drop into some valleys, but unless something big happens, the coin will keep dropping until it is virtually worthless and stops trading.
I was checking out an article on Coin Gecko that may help explain what I was noticing when I was researching the trading history of various coins and tokens.

I suspect a high number of coin launches occurred in 2025 that had fewer tokens with a real use or utility. There seem to be pre-buys that occur before an IPO and I bet those are lower than the opening price.
What I'm going to look at is what kept coins alive and even gaining while the economic environment drove so many others to extinction. Of course, what kills a coin is important, but I want to know what qualities and characteristics allow cryptocurrencies to not just survive but to make gains. That is the idea, to buy tokens that gain value over time to be traded at a profit.
I don't think that Parler's reward tokens will do very well so I'm looking at other ones. Also, I'm looking into "Yield Farming" and "Staking" as passive forms of generating more tokens. Also, there are a number of crypto generating programs available (outside of Parler) that can add to your crypto assets, like "Learn to Earn" or "Purchase Rewards" apps. In fact, I just earned 20 more Coin Gecko candy point rewards when I was researching this post.
The plan going forward: I'll do some trading with some assets and grow the rest with these programs. As long as I can see growth, it will be small tweaks and reworks to increase gains. If my trades fall short, I'll place the balance into these programs until I rework the plan.
