From April to June, there were a large number of pre-sales within TON. Almost all of the released tokens were scammed. This became a strong signal of people's mistrust of new tokens on the TON blockchain.
Pre-sales have lost their meaning. No one will enter them, and if they do, then only if the project is backed by people with a reputation, and not just an unknown team. Previously, this could work when pre-sales were relevant, but now there is no point in doing them. Remember the same $CLOWN token. Do you think it is alive? Nope. Just a body without liquidity.
Why have presales lost their meaning? People are tired of losing money every time, and even more so of trusting money to some author on TON. Now all people on TON are wary of new projects.
What do I want to tell you with all this?
TON is like in the 90s now. There is theft everywhere, bad news, and all this is like a snowball superimposed on each other, forming a healthy ball of problems.
As a developer, you can only move here if you have a reputation. If you are just passing through, no one will listen to you, and no matter how hard you try to show others how good your project is, you will be looked at askance.
Game creators make games to earn money. They will earn money, but not you, you will be patient and wait. All these words about tokens, earnings, etc. to repeat the success of Notcoin are just a drivel in the ears with the aim of bringing as many people as possible to the project. People are traffic, and in the tasks the channels pay for this. The more of you, the better.
Now TON is a cash cow. Everyone is waiting for milk. Some are waiting for projects to earn money, and some are waiting for a new news item to create a project similar to a popular one like DOGS or Notcoin, and then you can shill it, bring traffic and make some money.
In TON, you can only make good money by deception, but is that right? Everything depends on your conscience, but at the moment I can only say one thing: people inside TON look very sad today.
Will the situation change somehow? I have no idea. In any case, what was at the time of Notcoin's appearance and what is now looks very different emotionally. If back then the blood was boiling, and everything was done with enthusiasm and beauty, now because of presales, a large number of scams, projects on TON simply do not make sense if there are no famous people in the team. On the other hand, hard times make strong people, and weed out the weak, but so far I do not see even the strong ones.
What do you think? How do you see TON at the moment?
