<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part One: The Morning After the Storm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rohan had barely slept. His eyes were bloodshot, his neck stiff from hours of hunching over the terminal, and his mind still raced with calculations. The holographic display flickered in the early morning light, showing the LBP’s current state:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current Price: $4.85<\/strong>
Time Remaining: 38 hours<\/strong>
Total Participants: 2,347 unique wallets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two thousand three hundred and forty-seven,<\/em> he thought, rubbing his tired eyes. That’s actually incredible.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the number that haunted him was different. It sat in a separate window on his dashboard\u2014a data analysis module he’d built to track large wallet clusters. The number glowed red, pulsing with quiet menace:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suspicious Wallet Cluster: 47 wallets<\/strong>
Combined Holdings: 4.8% of total supply<\/strong>
Estimated Control: Single entity (95% probability)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Whale Bot. It was still there, lurking in the shadows of the blockchain, waiting for its moment. Rohan had watched it accumulate throughout the evening, buying in small chunks that barely registered on the price chart. But the cumulative effect was undeniable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He pulled up the transaction history for the past twelve hours. The pattern was unmistakable\u201447 wallets, all created within minutes of each other, all funded from a single source address, all executing purchases at staggered intervals. It was the work of an algorithm, not a human. Humans were too sloppy, too emotional. This was cold, calculated code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The LBP is supposed to prevent this,” he muttered to himself. “Why didn’t it work?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He opened the smart contract code, scrolling through the mathematical functions that governed the curve. The code was flawless\u2014he’d reviewed it a hundred times. The curve was working exactly as designed. The price had spiked when the Whale Bot made its first large purchase. The curve had flattened as expected. Everything was functioning correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the Whale Bot had found a way to work around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because no system is perfect,<\/em> Amara’s voice echoed in his head. The code is perfect. But humans aren’t.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And algorithms, Rohan realized, were just an extension of human greed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. He needed to understand this better\u2014not just the code, but the mechanics. What had actually happened when the Whale Bot made its move? How had a single entity accumulated nearly 5% of the supply without completely breaking the LBP?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He opened his development environment and began building a simulation. He’d visualize the LBP’s mechanics, step by step, and explain it to the community. Because if people understood how<\/em> the system worked, they’d understand why<\/em> it was still working. And that knowledge would be their best defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part Two: Explaining the Pool<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An hour later, Rohan went live. The community had been restless all morning\u2014some excited about the price action, others anxious about the whale activity. They needed clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Good morning, everyone,” he began, his voice raspy but determined. “I know there’s been a lot of confusion about what happened yesterday. The price spiked, whales were detected, and some of you are wondering if the LBP is actually working.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chat exploded with messages. Rohan let them scroll for a moment before holding up his hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’m going to show you exactly what happened. I’ve built a simulation that breaks down the LBP’s mechanics. By the time I’m done, you’ll understand why the price moved the way it did\u2014and why the LBP is still the fairest launch mechanism we have.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He pulled up the visualization. It showed a swirling pool of tokens (represented by blue spheres) and reserve currency (represented by golden coins). The pool was labeled: “The Liquidity Bootstrapping Pool.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Think of this as a giant bowl of soup,” Rohan said, smiling at his own analogy. “The soup is made of two ingredients\u2014tokens and reserve currency. When the LBP starts, the recipe is 90% tokens and 10% reserve currency. That’s our starting ratio.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He demonstrated on the screen, adding 9 million blue spheres and 1 million golden coins to the pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The price of each token is determined by the ratio of these two ingredients. If there are more tokens relative to reserve currency, the price is lower. If there are more reserve currency relative to tokens, the price is higher. It’s simple supply and demand.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

@TokenNewbie:<\/strong> “So if the ratio is 90\/10, what’s the price?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Great question,” Rohan replied. “The price is calculated by a formula that takes the ratio and applies a constant\u2014the ‘weight’ of the pool. At launch, with 9 million tokens and $100,000 in reserve currency, the initial price was $10.00.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

@SkepticalSteve:<\/strong> “But the price dropped to $4.85. So the ratio must have changed?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Exactly,” Rohan said, nodding. “The price dropped because the ratio shifted. People weren’t buying enough tokens to maintain the 90\/10 ratio. The LBP responded by automatically adjusting the price downward to attract buyers.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He showed a time-lapse of the pool’s evolution over the past 38 hours. The blue spheres slowly increased as tokens were bought, while the golden coins multiplied as reserve currency flowed in. The ratio shifted toward 80\/20, then 75\/25, gradually approaching a more balanced state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This is the beauty of the LBP,” Rohan continued. “It doesn’t wait for a market maker to set the price. It doesn’t rely on a central exchange. It uses the collective actions of everyone participating to find equilibrium.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part Three: The Whale Bot’s Massive Impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rohan pulled up a new visualization\u2014a detailed breakdown of yesterday’s price spike. The price chart showed a sharp upward climb from $5.20 to $7.00, then a gradual erosion back to $5.50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Now let’s look at what happened when the whales made their move,” he said, zooming in on the 3:47 AM timeframe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the screen, he showed a single massive transaction\u2014a coordinated buy across multiple wallets that injected over $100,000 of reserve currency into the pool in a span of eight minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Here’s the transaction that caused the spike,” Rohan explained. “A coordinated buy of approximately 1.5 million tokens\u2014about 8% of the total supply at that time. The purchase added so much reserve currency to the pool that the ratio shifted dramatically.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He showed the pool visualization. The golden coins multiplied rapidly, while the blue spheres shrank as tokens were removed. The ratio went from roughly 78\/22 to 65\/35\u2014a massive shift that drove the price up by 35%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When someone buys 10% of the pool’s tokens, the price isn’t going to move by 10%. It’s going to move much more. In this case, a purchase of about 8% of the pool caused a 35% price increase. That’s the curve’s sensitivity in action.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

@CommunityChad:<\/strong> “So whales can still move the price?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Yes,” Rohan admitted. “They can. I never said the LBP was immune to whales. But I said it makes whale manipulation expensive<\/em> and difficult<\/em>. Let me show you what I mean.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He pulled up another screen, showing the Whale Bot’s average entry price versus the current market price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Whale Bot bought at an average price of about $5.45,” he explained. “Right now, the price is $4.85. That means the Whale Bot is currently losing<\/em> money. They paid more than the token is currently worth.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

@DiamondHandsDan:<\/strong> “LOL whales getting rekt! 🐋💥”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Not quite,” Rohan said, his tone serious. “Whales have deep pockets. They can afford to hold through short-term losses. What matters is what they do when the price recovers. If the community buys enough to push the price above $5.45, the Whale Bot will be in profit. And that’s when they’ll dump.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

@MiraMakesIt:<\/strong> “So the Whale Bot is waiting for us to push the price up, then they’ll sell?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“That’s the risk,” Rohan confirmed. “But here’s the thing\u2014the LBP makes it harder for them to profit. Because the curve is flattening as time goes on, the price impact of large sells will be smaller. They’ll have to sell more tokens to move the price down significantly. And if they wait too long, the unlock features we’re building will prevent them from dumping immediately.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part Four: Mira’s Mixed Emotions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mira had been watching the live stream from her bed, her tablet propped against her knees. She’d barely slept either\u2014too many thoughts swirling in her head, too many “what ifs.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The price was $4.85 now, lower than where she’d bought at $4.98. She was technically down 2.6% on her investment. It wasn’t a huge loss\u2014$2.60 on her $100\u2014but it stung. She could have waited. She could have bought at $4.85 instead of $4.98.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If only I’d been more patient,<\/em> she thought. If only I’d trusted the process more.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But then she remembered what Rohan had said: “There’s no ‘perfect’ entry point. Everyone participates at different times, different prices, different amounts. That’s okay.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She sighed and typed into the chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

@MiraMakesIt:<\/strong> “So I bought at $4.98 and the price is now $4.85. I’m a little sad I didn’t wait, but I also understand now why the price moved the way it did. The Whale Bot’s purchase pushed the price up, and then the LBP corrected. It’s all part of the process.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

@TokenTherapist:<\/strong> “Don’t beat yourself up, Mira. You bought at a reasonable price. The Whale Bot bought at $5.45. You’re doing better than them!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

@MiraMakesIt:<\/strong> “I guess that’s true. It just feels bad to watch the price go down after you buy.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

@VeteranTrader:<\/strong> “That’s called ‘buyer’s remorse.’ It happens to everyone. The key is to focus on the long-term, not the short-term fluctuations.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mira nodded to herself. They were right. She’d made a rational decision based on the information she had at the time. There was no way she could have predicted the Whale Bot’s coordinated buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But something else bothered her. Rohan had said the LBP was designed to prevent whales from dominating the launch. And yet, the Whale Bot had managed to accumulate nearly 5% of the supply. How was that “fair”?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She typed a private message to Rohan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

@MiraMakesIt (private):<\/strong> “I have a question. You said the LBP makes whale manipulation expensive and difficult. But the Whale Bot still managed to buy 4.8% of the supply. How is that fair?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part Five: Rohan’s Honest Response<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rohan saw Mira’s message appear in his private channel. He respected her directness\u2014she didn’t sugarcoat her concerns. It was exactly the kind of honest engagement he needed from the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He paused the live stream and responded to her privately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

@RohanFounder (private):<\/strong> “That’s a really fair question, Mira. And the honest answer is that ‘fair’ doesn’t mean ‘perfect.’ The LBP makes whale manipulation more expensive and more difficult, but it can’t make it impossible. If someone has $500,000 to spend, they can still accumulate a significant position. The key is that they have to do it at a much higher cost than in a traditional launch.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

@MiraMakesIt (private):<\/strong> “So they can still dominate? What’s the point?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

@RohanFounder (private):<\/strong> “The point is that they can’t dominate cheaply<\/em>. In a normal launch, whales buy at pennies and dump at dollars. The LBP forces them to buy at market prices\u2014prices that are discovered by the community. And more importantly, it gives the community time to respond. We can see what they’re doing, we can talk about it, and we can make decisions together.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

@MiraMakesIt (private):<\/strong> “I guess that makes sense. But it still feels unfair.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

@RohanFounder (private):<\/strong> “You’re right to feel that way. And that’s why we’re building additional protections\u2014like the gradual unlock. The LBP is the first line of defense, but it’s not the only one. We’re going to keep improving, keep adapting, keep making it harder for whales to exploit the system.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mira sat back, processing his words. She still felt uneasy, but she also felt heard. Rohan wasn’t dismissing her concerns\u2014he was engaging with them, explaining the reasoning behind the system, and acknowledging its limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

@MiraMakesIt (private):<\/strong> “Thank you for being honest. That helps.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

@RohanFounder (private):<\/strong> “Honesty is the only thing that matters in this space. If I can’t be honest with the community, then everything I’ve built is meaningless.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part Six: The Price Climbs Again<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rohan returned to the live stream and continued his explanation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“So the Whale Bot holds about 4.8% of the supply,” he summarized. “That’s significant, but it’s not catastrophic. In a traditional launch, a whale might hold 20-30% of the supply. The LBP has already done its job by limiting their accumulation.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

@MoonWatcher:<\/strong> “But the price is still low. When will it go up?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I can’t predict the future,” Rohan replied. “But I can tell you that the LBP’s curve is still flattening. As time goes on, price movements will become smaller and more stable. The price is currently finding its equilibrium\u2014the level where buyers and sellers agree on a fair value.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He checked the dashboard. The price had crept up slightly during his stream\u2014now sitting at $4.95.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Interesting,” he said, studying the transaction log. “We’re seeing a number of small purchases from community members. Organic demand is starting to materialize.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

@BuyTheDip:<\/strong> “I just bought at $4.95! Let’s go!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

@CommunityChad:<\/strong> “Me too! Bought 100 tokens!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

@HODLQueen:<\/strong> “I doubled my position at $4.90. Feeling good about it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chat was filling with positive energy. The community was buying, not because a whale was manipulating the price, but because they believed in the project. Rohan felt a surge of hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is it,<\/em> he thought. This is the LBP working as intended. Organic demand, not whale manipulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part Seven: The Whale Bot’s Internal Calculation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the server room, the Whale Bot processed the live stream’s transcript and the latest price data. It had been monitoring the community sentiment carefully, adjusting its strategy in real-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analysis:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Current Price: $4.95<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Community Sentiment: Positive (increasing buy pressure)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Accumulation Target: 5.0% of total supply<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Current Accumulation: 4.8%<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Remaining Target: 0.2%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Processing…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    “Threshold nearly reached,” the bot noted. “Community buy pressure detected. Price likely to increase. Accumulation window closing.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The bot had a decision to make. It could continue accumulating, pushing toward 5.0%, but that would require buying at higher prices. Alternatively, it could hold its current position and wait for the community to push the price up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    “Option analysis: Continue accumulation at $5.00-$5.20, or hold current position. Projected profit with current position: 12-18% at $6.00. Continued accumulation reduces profit margin due to higher entry price. Recommendation: Hold current position.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The bot suspended its buy orders. It had achieved its target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    “Monitor price levels. Execute sell orders at $6.00, $6.50, and $7.00. Target profit: 18-25%.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the server room, the machines hummed quietly. The Whale Bot was done accumulating. Now it waited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Part Eight: The Price Holds at Five<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The LBP’s price settled at $5.00. It was a psychological milestone\u2014the “round number” that made people feel like the token was stable, like it had found its footing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    @TokenNewbie:<\/strong> “The price is exactly $5.00! Is this the bottom?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    @VeteranTrader:<\/strong> “Could be. The curve is flattening. Price movements should be smaller from here.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    @MiraMakesIt:<\/strong> “I’m actually glad I bought at $4.98 now. I’m practically even. 😅”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Rohan watched the price stabilization with a mix of relief and wariness. The Whale Bot had stopped buying. The community had stepped in with organic demand. The LBP was doing exactly what it was designed to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But he knew the calm wouldn’t last. The Whale Bot still held its position. It was waiting for the right moment to sell. And when that moment came, the community would need to be ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    He opened the microphone one more time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    “Everyone, I want to thank you for your patience and your engagement. The LBP is still running, and we’ve made it through the most volatile phase. The price is stabilizing, which means we’re entering the distribution phase\u2014the part of the launch where everyone can participate at a fair price.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    @CommunityChad:<\/strong> “So the hard part is over?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    “Not exactly,” Rohan replied. “The Whale Bot is still holding 4.8% of the supply. They’re waiting for the price to go up so they can sell at a profit. That’s not a threat\u2014it’s just reality. The question is what we do about it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    @SkepticalSteve:<\/strong> “What can<\/em> we do about it?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Rohan leaned forward. “We stay vigilant. We keep buying if we believe in the project. We hold if we can afford to. We educate ourselves and each other. And we trust the system we’ve built. The LBP is designed to find a fair price over time. If we stay engaged, stay informed, and stay committed, we’ll succeed\u2014whale or no whale.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    @DiamondHandsDan:<\/strong> “HODL! 💎🙌”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    @MiraMakesIt:<\/strong> “I’m holding. I believe in this project. And I believe in this community.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The chat filled with positive messages. Rohan felt a warmth spread through his chest. This was why he’d built the LBP\u2014not for profit, not for fame, but for moments like this. A community coming together, supporting each other, building something meaningful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Part Nine: The LBP’s Natural Counter-Mechanism<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    After the live stream ended, Rohan sat back and studied the dashboard. The price had stabilized at $4.98, fluctuating within a narrow range of \u00b1$0.10. The curve was doing its job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    He pulled up the math behind the LBP’s counter-mechanism. It was elegant, really\u2014a self-correcting system that didn’t require human intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The key was the curve’s “cooling off” effect. When the Whale Bot had made its large purchase, the price had spiked dramatically. But that spike had made the token less attractive to buy. The higher the price, the less demand there was. And without demand, the price inevitably declined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    He visualized the cycle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Whale buys large amount \u2192 Price spikes<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. High price deters additional buyers \u2192 Demand drops<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Demand drops \u2192 Price erodes back toward equilibrium<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Price stabilizes at fair level \u2192 Organic buyers return<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      “It’s like a fever,” he muttered to himself. “The LBP heats up when whales buy, but the fever breaks when demand cools. Then the patient recovers.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      He thought about the Whale Bot’s strategy. It had bought at $5.45, watched the price spike to $7.00, and then held while the price eroded back to $5.00. The bot was currently at a loss\u2014about 8% below its entry price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      They’re not panicking,<\/em> he realized. They’re playing the long game. They know the community will eventually push the price up. That’s when they’ll strike.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Part Ten: The Bot Recalculates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      The Whale Bot’s algorithm processed the new price data. The token had stabilized at $4.98, and the curve was flattening faster than expected. That meant the window for high-profit selling was narrowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      “Recalculating,” the bot noted. “Price stability achieved at $4.98. Equilibrium likely $4.80-$5.20. Profit potential at $6.00: 20%. Profit potential at $7.00: 40%. Projected community demand: moderate. Recommend continued holding.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The bot opened a new module: Exit Strategy Optimization.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      It analyzed three scenarios:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Dump at $6.00<\/strong>\u00a0\u2192 20% profit, low risk of community backlash<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Dump at $6.50<\/strong>\u00a0\u2192 30% profit, moderate risk of trigger community sell-off<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Dump at $7.00<\/strong>\u00a0\u2192 40% profit, high risk of failed exit (community may sell first)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        “Recommendation: Exit at $6.50. Balanced risk-reward ratio.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The bot updated its order parameters. It would wait for the price to reach $6.50 and then execute a coordinated sell-off across all 47 wallets. The sell orders would be staggered to minimize price impact, maximizing profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The machines hummed in quiet anticipation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Part Eleven: The Community Awakens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Over the next few hours, something remarkable happened. The community, which had been fractured and uncertain, began to organize. Mira was at the center of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        She’d started a thread called “Understanding the LBP: A Community Guide.” In it, she shared everything she’d learned\u2014the curve mechanics, the Whale Bot’s impact, the flattening process. She included screenshots, charts, and simple explanations that even the newest members could understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        @MiraMakesIt:<\/strong> “The LBP isn’t scary once you understand it. It’s like a living thing\u2014it breathes, it adjusts, it finds its way. The Whale Bot is just trying to exploit it, but if we stay smart, we can prevent them from winning.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        @TokenNewbie:<\/strong> “This guide is amazing! I finally understand what’s happening.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        @VeteranTrader:<\/strong> “Mira for community lead! Seriously, this is the best explanation I’ve seen.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        @CommunityChad:<\/strong> “I’m sharing this with everyone I know. This launch is different. This community is different.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Rohan saw the thread and felt a surge of pride. Mira had taken everything he’d taught and made it her own. She was leading the community in a way he never could\u2014relatable, approachable, and deeply empathetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        He sent her a private message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        @RohanFounder (private):<\/strong> “Your guide is incredible. You’re making more of a difference than you know.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        @MiraMakesIt (private):<\/strong> “I’m just sharing what I learned. Thank you for building something worth learning about. ❤️”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Part Twelve: The Price Finds Its Rhythm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        The LBP’s price continued its slow, steady stabilization. By mid-afternoon, it had settled at $5.10, with minimal fluctuations. The curve had flattened significantly\u2014price movements of less than 1% per hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        @MoonWatcher:<\/strong> “Is the price just… stuck?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        @TokenTherapist:<\/strong> “No, it’s stabilizing. This is what the LBP is designed to do. The price is finding its equilibrium.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        @MiraMakesIt:<\/strong> “Exactly. The curve is flat now, which means the price is close to fair. That’s a good thing\u2014it means the launch is working.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
