Imho good tokenomics are good thing for the token fundamentals regardless on what part of the cycle we are, and there is nothing $SHFL could legally do to fight the trend on that.
Just because we won't see value now, doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it (at least more wrong then with any other token out there).
Value comes later on. And there are very few tokens if any, that are rising despite the overall bearmarket. And imho that's something you can't plan by coding or marketing.
Tokenomics are important because with high inflationary tokenomics and huge future selling pressure for examle from token unlocks are terrible for any project. Tokenomics is important to keep up community belief in a project while it does not decide a project and its token value. There are other fundamental things from the project, technically and practically with its utility and usecases will decide its value.
SHFL will be like all other altcoin tokens, must be built up well with utility and usecase for getting good adoption and demand from community, then its value will rise a lot in the future. Shuffle team have clearly shown their great dedication on developing the Shuffle company as well as the SHFL token.
