MetaMask values a malicious token at $1,032 — while BYKO still has no price

MetaMask says this token is Malicious — and still counts $1,032.23 of it in my portfolio balance.

In the same wallet, BYKO is labelled Risky and shown with no value at all — no price, no portfolio line — even though it has a real on-chain BYKO/USDC market.

That contrast is exactly why BYKO exists: not to hype another token, but to document how crypto systems decide what looks legitimate, valuable, suspicious, or invisible.

One wallet. Two completely different signals.

A malicious token gets a four-digit valuation. A transparent token with a real market gets none.

The screenshots are now part of the public diary.
