Honestly, I saw founders tagging testnet users as farmers.
From their POV, I can understand that they feel pained when they have to be the only person to push token price after distributing it to a wide audience.
But realistically speaking, are testnet users the problem?
I can say YES and NO!
Yes because they pretend to love what founders are building without telling them the truth (mehn you're building trash)
And that's on period!
While growing up, I learned it firsthand what it means to build castles in the air...
Sorry to say, that's what we have right now in crypto and these apps are wondering why we don't have traction.
Excuse me, you're building an L1 when I have ETH, SOL, BSC...
What do you intend to offer me?
10% APY?
Please, dear founders can we be realistic? $100 portfolio cannot get anything from that even in the long run.
Now, everyone is pushing for ICOs. I can assure you that in the next 5 months, that will be the worst scam of 2017 repeating itself.
I know these ICOs give projects runways to manage the project but I can only see this in the future turning into their revenue.
In essence, projects raise $$$, give participants tokens and use dollars to enrich themselves.
If you think that this won't happen, dig into all projects that raised since 2022 from VCs and check the ones still standing now.
So, respectively speaking, can founders stop pointing fingers and start thinking about products that users will actually love?
Nobody incentivizes me to use my bank, nor use chatGPT, I found these useful by myself and I'm even willing to pay a premium to use them.
Can 80% of these founders vouch that their product is commanding that attention?
I can understand that building takes time and resources.
However, that house these users waste time to utilize that product you have built.
Besides, I also find it funny that 80% of founders making these assertions used airdrop as the first means of attracting their audience.
So why antagonize it now?
As a person, I once took $800 from a project and decided not to sell, now it's at $164.
Or will I talk about $S that I bought worth $2K, staked for more than 6 months only to receive $30 in airdrop.
If you were in my shoes, what trust would you have in projects then?
Sorry if I use the wrong words, I'm just airing my view.
