If the creators get rich this way who cares? Everyone else gets rich too! Because it's a smart structure and there is no dump.
There is
no dump (because supply side is controlled entirely by founders),
but still a pump (look at the marketing efforts, the forum hopping, the paid articles, the ad campaigns, ...).
If you call that smart, well call it smart.
I call it long run scam.
Not a team member, didn't even buy in the presale. Just a survey guy.
Marketing a product isn't a pump, much less a scam. Trying to grow a user base isn't a pump, much less a scam. Developing services to make the product better for the users isn't a pump, much less a scam. Especially if there's no dump, just steady growth.
By your definition any product is a pump and a scam. That just doesn't make sense.
1. What definition?
2. Give my yours please.
