Game between project owners and retail investors:
- When retail investors have a strong consensus on interactive airdrops, project owners use airdrops to cheat retail investors of GAS
- When retail investors believe that points have wealth opportunities, project owners use points to PUA retail investors
- When retail investors believe that staking is "both eating and taking", project owners use staking to trick you
There are even more awesome projects that do interactive airdrops/points/staking all at once, and cheat you for several years without issuing coins...
