This viewpoint warrants caution. If project teams and investors take the majority of tokens and only leave 5% for community airdrops, the final outcomes are usually limited to a few scenarios: either a few people profit at the expense of others, or the project itself lacks a proper distribution mechanism. Historically, such projects tend not to go far. Truly community-driven projects should offer ordinary users more participation opportunities beyond VC funding and team incentives. Otherwise, the crypto ecosystem will just repeat past mistakes.

Another round of the old trick... 5% Airdrop? I immediately give a warning for heavy losses --- The project team's operation is a standard liquidation price setting, locking in the chips first --- It's hard to buy early knowledge, I was also cut like this back in the day --- Really, seeing this distribution ratio directly pass, the liquidation rhythm is written in the code --- VC's method of cutting leeks is old and seasoned, the community is always the last to deliver the final blow --- Instead of going all-in on such projects, it's more practical to study risk control points --- History repeating? Bro, this is not history, this is the present tense --- 5% to the community? What’s the point, are they afraid we’re losing money fast enough?

5% Airdrop? Laughs. This is just copying the traditional finance model. --- VCs take their rounds, and the community just drinks the soup. This routine is played out. --- Another project doomed to zero, nothing more to say. --- With such a terrible distribution mechanism, how dare you claim it's decentralized? That's ironic. --- History repeatedly proves that this kind of token distribution is a trap, yet people still jump in. --- Ordinary users really need to wake up. Don't be the big fool anymore. --- With this setup, a crash is inevitable sooner or later. The earlier you spot it, the sooner you profit.

5% Airdrop? Isn't this just nakedly cutting leeks? --- VCs and project teams take the big share, retail investors get the leftovers. This trick is so old. --- Really, I just pass on seeing this kind of allocation. Nothing more to say. --- History repeats itself because some people never learn. --- Leaving some room for ordinary people to participate is more important than anything else. Otherwise, why should we trust you? --- 5%? Wake up, everyone. This thing has no future. --- Are they about to do another round of leek-cutting? No way. --- The allocation mechanism is like this. How can the project move forward? It’s hilarious.

5% Airdrop? That's just outright rug pulling. --- Same old story, VCs eat the meat while the community drinks the soup. --- History always repeats itself. Is this time really different? --- If the distribution mechanism collapses, the entire project is finished. --- A few people controlling the tokens is like a ticking time bomb. --- Is it really so hard to give the community some real rights? --- I just pass on this kind of token distribution. --- Truly decentralized projects have been doing this long ago. --- VC schemes are always the same套路, I'm tired of it.
