The Doodles NFT world is buzzing. The DOOD token is launching tomorrow, September 6th, 2025 and the excitement is electric. Doodles NFTs are on fire in terms of weekly sales! Trading volume is through the roof, and all the big exchanges are clamoring to list the token. Is this a genuine step towards community empowerment, or just another cleverly disguised wealth transfer from the many to the few?

Economic Freedom Or Financial Trap?

We’re led to believe that 68% of the DOOD supply is dedicated to the community. One third directly to holders, ecosystem fund, team incentive, “New Blood”… Sounds great, right? Let's be real. How many Doodles holders actually understand the tokenomics? Few, if any, I’d bet, understood the risks of a Solana-based launch, particularly in light of the blockchain’s history of serious security vulnerabilities.

This isn't about bashing Doodles. It's about asking the tough questions. Are we creating a system weighted towards the most sophisticated investors and early adopters? In the meantime, the average holder is caught up in the fervor and is left holding the bag when the eventual correction happens.

Think of it like this: It's like offering everyone a chance to pan for gold, but only giving a few people the good pans and insider knowledge of where the real nuggets are hidden. Anyone can play, in theory, but the reality is that the field is not remotely level. The gold rush mentality puts a blindfold on everyone around and makes them ignore the challenges and risks.

FOMO Fuels The Fire, But At What Cost?

The comparison to PENGU is interesting. DOOD could experience a similar price rally. Great for the ones who manage to get in early and sell their tokens before the music stops. What of the latecomers, the FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) types?

We see trading volume up 368% week-over-week. That's not organic growth. That's speculative mania. Hopeful market sentiment due to Bitcoin’s potential ETF approval and the Fed’s decision to pause interest hikes would likely propel the market upwards in the short term. This optimism provides a false sense of security.

Remember the Beanie Baby craze? The dot-com bubble? History is filled with examples of what can happen when irrational exuberance goes unchecked and too often results in painful crashes. NFTs — which do offer so much potential — are no exception to these cycles. The buzz of decentralization must not be used as a smokescreen for a centralized rug pull.

Are We Building A More Equitable Future?

With a subsequent integration with Base, the DOOD token launch on Solana became a really interesting case study. Can decentralized finance really democratize power back to our communities? Or does it simply duplicate the inequities of the old, brick-and-mortar financial industry in a sleeker, digital iteration?

The environmental impact of Solana, the potential for scams and rug pulls within the NFT space, the complex tokenomics that few understand... these are all factors that contribute to a feeling of unease.

As we engage with these tools, we need to do so as critical and informed participants. Ask yourself: Do you understand the risks? You’re putting at risk more money than you can afford to lose. Are you being influenced by market hype, or by a deeply held belief?

Don’t fall for every get-rich-quick scheme that comes along! Let’s call for more transparency, more consumer protections, and more guarantees that the wealth generated by our digital future will be shared equitably. The future of finance depends on it. If the “New Blood” are indeed youths, we need to shelter them all the better!

This isn’t an effort to stifle innovation — it’s to make sure that the innovation we pursue moves the most people possible, not just a privileged few. Because after all, a rising tide is meant to lift all boats, not just the yachts.
