Picture this: 10 major influencers, each holding 20M tokens from day one. Here's the thing—zero capital invested, yet when the project hit a 1M market cap, they were already sitting on +1k in PNL. Fast forward to now, those bags are worth $20k apiece.
The pitch? Call it a "social experiment." Don't think of it as concentrated allocation; think of it as community advocacy incentives. The playbook is straightforward: early hand off of massive token packages to KOLs with built-in social reach. No skin in the game from them, all upside when momentum builds.
Worth asking though—how does this flavor of token distribution shape market dynamics and community trust? When influence translates to zero-risk gains, what does that signal about a project's go-to-market strategy?

That's why I don't touch those kinds of projects, pure money-grabbing schemes.

It's that old trick again, giving free coins to big V influencers and then talking about community incentives... Forget it, I'll just watch and say nothing.

nah this is exactly the grift i've been warning about for years. "community advocacy incentives" is just fancy speak for free money to people who don't need it lol

This is the typical scheme of harvesting retail investors: giving away big V tokens for free and then having them hype it up...

This tactic is too outrageous. KOLs can freeload and still win effortlessly, really treating retail investors like fools.

This is just a typical case of cutting leeks, just a different way of saying it. "Community advocacy" sounds really nice...
