"Just sharing my personal take on $AntiHunter since a few people asked why I didnt buy. Conceptually I like the idea an AI agent trading tokens almost like a VC fund run by AI. On paper thats interesting. That said I ultimately passed for two main reasons based on my own research and risk tolerance: 1.Affiliations & hype risk Theres reported association with high-profile influencers (Logan / Jake Paul). While that can drive attention its personally a red flag for me given past controversies in crypto (CryptoZoo Liquid). Others may view this differently this is just my comfort level. 2.Founder"
