Environment is everything!

It’s a fact that Magikarp have been spotted swimming in most — to put it lightly — questionable of waters; there’s one thing they love above all and that’s liquidity.

Magikarp looooove liquidity!

When liquidity is low — the magikarp is a volatile beast being easily affected by transactions. Buys will hike the price up — and sells will drop it down just as easily. This means a slippery slope of slippage… and nobody likes a slippery slope of slippage.

Thankfully, the inverse is also true! With enough liquidity the Magikarp becomes the most majestic of creatures. One with a stably growing price due to the burn & redistribution mechanics that are natural to any reflect token.
