Recently, there has been quite a bit of discussion about the native token of a major trading platform.

Browsing through various forums and communities, I indeed saw many opinions questioning this project—some say the valuation is inflated, others complain about airdrop hunters gathering. For early participants, these negative voices are indeed a bit frustrating. Even more disheartening is that participating in early activities doesn't necessarily guarantee an airdrop, and the feeling that "efforts might be wasted" is truly chilling.

But upon reflection, these doubts about overvaluation and too many speculative users didn't appear out of nowhere. Is the project itself perhaps a bit "overplayed" in its fundraising pricing and incentive mechanism design? Is the transparency of the airdrop rules sufficient? These are all worth discussing.

This is exactly the scam to cut leeks; airdrop rules are all nonsense, and early participants end up getting played.

It's hard work participating in early activities only to get cut again. I'm really tired of this routine.

Airdrop hunters gathering is really a thing, messing around early on for half a day and ending up with nothing, this feeling is incredible. Who’s to blame for the inflated valuation? The fundraising pricing strategy is indeed quite ruthless. It’s not the first project to do this, I’ve seen it before. Transparency? Uh... that thing has never been a necessity for trading platforms. I just want to know, are there still people going all-in in this round? It’s hard to hold on, early investors really got cut. The mechanism design is terribly bad, and the airdrop rules are like a lottery.

Airdrop hunters are everywhere, but the true believers are actually being diluted, which is ridiculous. Participating early and getting scammed for free, then changing the rules makes everything worthless—I've seen this happen too many times. Raising funds with fake valuations, unclear incentive mechanisms—no wonder people are complaining. Ultimately, it's the project teams trying to scalp profits, and users want to scalp the project teams too—nobody feels comfortable. Transparency is really dragging things down; we need to ask some serious questions. This wave of operations can easily trigger a trust crisis; in the long run, it's quite dangerous. Early users get hurt the most; I was wondering why so many people are cursing.
