Early-stage projects' token distribution mechanisms turned out to be pretty disappointing for community members. Retail investors and early believers got the short end of the stick—massive value got extracted while most of them held nothing but hype. Think about it: even if just 30% of these projects had actually delivered tokens to their communities as promised, countless people's financial situations would look radically different today. The gap between what was promised and what was actually delivered remains one of the hardest pills to swallow in this space.

Bro, I just want to ask, do these project teams really have no money or do they just not want to give?

I checked the contracts of about ten projects, and the fund flow is very clear—team wallets directly to exchange addresses, with no stops in between. Even if we generously estimate, only a handful can actually fulfill their promises. The retail investors should have already looked at the on-chain data; don't just listen to the white paper stories.
