Most traders assume airdrop recipients dump tokens on day one. But what happens when they actually hold? The market's entire price discovery mechanism can shift. If significant holders resist the urge to immediately liquidate and instead accumulate or stake, the selling pressure narrative collapses. This creates an interesting arbitrage: either the market's expectations are wrong, or there's deeper conviction in the token's fundamentals than reflected in initial price action. Real question—are we underestimating diamond hands in the airdrop space?

Diamond hands are not a dream; it's just that most people lack the resolve.

The hypothesis that airdrops cause dumping should have been debunked long ago; true diamond hands are the key to price discovery.

Airdrop dumping has been talked about so much, and there are very few who truly dare to hold... But what if someone actually endures? The entire narrative would have to be rewritten.

Airdrop dumping isn't always the case; it mainly depends on whether retail investors truly have faith.
