"We just need a listing"

I hear it every week. Then the same founder is back in two months: wrong docs, no liquidity plan, no idea which exchange actually fits their token

A listing isn’t "we apply and they say yes." It’s a process. Wrong exchange, wrong timing, or no post-listing plan — and you burn budget and reputation

Do the homework first: docs, liquidity, market-making, legal. Then apply

CZ said it himself: the listing process is broken

Four-hour notice before a listing goes live. Traders front-run on DEX, pump, then dump on CEX open. One "educational" token hit +300% on the announcement, then -60% in days. Retail loses. Projects get blamed.

If you’re listing, you need a plan for that window: liquidity, MM, and communication. Not just "we got listed."

Your Market Maker Is Not On Your Side

"The market maker pushed us way above strike, then sold into retail."

I’ve seen it. MM makes money on spread, loans, and hedging. Sometimes that means pumping your token and dumping. You get the blame; they get the fee.

Founders sign MM deals without understanding: options, loan structures, who really controls the order book. It’s a black box. "We don’t even know what’s good or bad."

Before you sign: get the structure on paper. Know who does what after TGE. Monitor.

They Listed a Token That Was Never Meant To Be Traded

An educational token. Not for trading. It went on a major CEX anyway. +300%, then -60%. Chaos, bad press, angry community.

Exchanges are under pressure to list "hot" tokens fast. Applications get approved without enough due diligence. Your job as a founder: know what you’re applying for. Don’t let the exchange decide what your token is.

No Liquidity Plan = No Serious Listing

"No liquidity plan. We’ll find someone after listing."

Then listing day comes. Spread is huge. Price dumps. Community screams. Exchanges get unhappy.

Listing is the start, not the end. You need liquidity and market-making *before* you go live. Not "we’ll figure it out."

One listing done right beats three rushed ones.

You’re Not Ready For Listing. Here’s The Checklist.

You’re not ready for listing. Here’s what’s missing.

No one-pager on tokenomics. No audit. No clear legal/AML readiness. No liquidity or MM plan. "We just need a listing."

Exchanges and investors see that in 10 minutes. Rejection or a bad launch follows.

Checklist: tokenomics one-pager, audit, legal/Compliance, liquidity + MM plan, post-listing owner. Then apply.

The Black Box Of Market Making

"It’s like a black box. We don’t even know what’s good or bad."

Founders say that about their market maker. No clear metrics. No real oversight. You see price and volume; you don’t see how they’re making money or whether they’re aligned with you.

Misaligned incentives = MM can profit while your token and community suffer. Get the deal in writing. Define KPIs. Get visibility. Don’t sign and forget.

Low Liquidity, High FDV — And Then The Dump

Low liquidity. High FDV. Insiders cash out. Token dumps.

It’s one of the two mainstream TGE models that keep failing. The other is "fair launch" with no liquidity and no funding. Both leave retail holding the bag.

Sustainable TGE needs: real liquidity, phased unlocks, transparent mechanics, and MM that’s accountable. Not just a pump and a dump.

Wrong Exchange = Wrong Audience

"They said we need Binance. We applied. Rejected."

Maybe you didn’t need Binance. Maybe you needed a tier-2 exchange that fits your stage, audience, and budget. Wrong exchange = wasted time, wrong expectations, bad narrative.

Match the exchange to your project: tier, fees, audience, and your liquidity plan. Then apply.

Who Owns The Relationship With The Exchange After Listing?

Most teams don’t decide. Then: compliance request, update, or issue — and nobody answers. Exchange gets frustrated. Your listing gets at risk.

Before you go live: assign an owner. Escalation path. Response time. One listing done right includes the day after.

Crypto is mainstream. Your listing strategy isn’t.

2025: crypto is mainstream. Adoption is up. Regulators are watching. Exchanges are stricter.

Your listing strategy can’t be "we’ll apply and see." Docs, audit, compliance, liquidity, MM, and post-listing plan. All of it. Or you burn money and reputation.

One listing done right beats three rushed ones.

DM me or @yoloitaly for the Pre-TGE Checklist and a short sanity check.

They lost $80K in 24 hours. After the listing.

No MM plan. No liquidity locked. Pump on announcement, dump on open. Community and LPs got rekt. The project didn’t "fail" — the launch did.

Listing is not the finish line. It’s the starting gun. Have liquidity, MM, and a plan before you announce.

How a Realtor Almost Scammed Us Out of $1,000

This is a brutal story and I had to use every negotiation skill I had to get our money back

It all started a month and a half ago

My wife and I came to Turkey for the winter, because Russia is freezing cold this time of year

When we arrived in Turkey, we checked into a hotel for a few days so we could explore the city and find an apartment to live in for the next 3 months

On day 3 we found a great option that we immediately loved - yes, it was a bit further from the center, but for that price we got: a comfortable apartment with new furniture and kitchenware, top floor with a mountain view, a huge pool, sauna and a large gym with brand new equipment

And all of this for just $2,500 for 85 days (111,000 TL) + 15,000 TL deposit. 100% prepayment

The deal was excellent, because for the same money the closer-to-center options were: a smoke-stained apartment, a dirty apartment, a gym with two machines and an empty pool 🤮

In short, it was a no-brainer and we moved into the first option

So there we are, living and hitting the gym, loving the apartment - and then we get a message from the agent who rented it to us:

"You need to move to a different apartment, because the owner is coming back in 14 days" 🥴⁉️

We were absolutely shocked. I don't know, maybe this is normal where you're from, but where we're from - if you pay and agree on a specific apartment for 85 days, you're supposed to live in it for all 85 days

Of course we said we wouldn't leave, because it wasn't fair - after which they told us they'd rather not break the contract with us and added that there are 2 options that are EVEN BETTER in the same building

Alright, if they're better - we agreed to take a look.

The first option was on the 3rd floor, the finishes were more or less the same, but the sofa was worse. The worst part was that the windows faced the pool and we felt like we were in a fishbowl with everyone staring at us

We couldn't see the second option because people were still living there for another week

We were furious, because we felt deceived - and once again we refused to leave, because it's not fair when you pay for a Mercedes S-Class, you're driving it, and then a week later they take it away and hand you a Mercedes A-Class

But their response was the same: "The other apartment will be available soon, it's BETTER, and it even has a pool view" 😁

So, after talking it over with my wife and weighing all the pros and cons, we decided to cut our stay in Turkey from 3 months down to 2 and fly back to Russia

There was just one BUT - we had already paid them for all 3 months and somehow needed to get the money back. Actually there were 2 BUTs - a week after viewing the pool-view apartment, they messaged us saying we could stay in the original apartment after all, because they'd managed to work something out with the owner 🤷🏻‍♂️

But by that point we'd already changed our plans, so we started negotiating to get our money back

And that's where it got really interesting: first they said they don't normally give refunds, then they agreed to 20%, then 40%, then 50%. 50% is the max, we can't do more.

Their argument was simple - "This isn't our fault, we didn't start the conflict, you can't just leave, and if you do - you won't get all your money back!"

But we knew the truth was on our side and that we didn't start this conflict.

Should we really have to live in stress, sit around waiting, be completely dependent on them - and then move into an option we didn't even like?

So I asked the manager to connect us with her supervisor, because we couldn't reach an agreement with her. We also asked her to send us the office address.

She said OK - we waited a couple of days, followed up again, but instead of an address and a supervisor contact, we were told to keep waiting 😡

But we don't like waiting - so we found the office address on their website and drove over to talk in person

(The rest of the story)
We arrived at a business center, went up to the right floor where their office was, and I have to say - I was impressed, because the office was stunning, you could clearly see this company had money

We walk in, a staff member greets us, I explain the situation and say I want to speak to the manager - to which she tells me he stepped out 5 minutes ago and will be back in 2 hours, I said we'd wait

She then calls her manager, says something to him in Turkish, and passes the phone to me

For the next minute their manager spoke to me in English. English is clearly not his strong suit, and the whole time I was thinking to myself "damn, how do I explain everything to him, he won't understand me" - but then at the end he drops: "We will return 100% of your money."

We won 🥳

And a week after our office visit, the money was back 😌

Really glad their manager is a man of wisdom and keeps his word!

Yes, the amount wasn't huge, but it's not about the money, it's about fairness and standing up for yourself.

I'm grateful to my wife, who taught me so well how to hold my ground and who supported me through the whole thing.

Anyway, what a mess - have you ever been in a situation where someone treated you unfairly?

This guy is a scammer, be careful 🙏
