You covered it quite well.
Thank you. Feel like others need to understand this "free" model as well. To bad many wont read it because its a long text.
Another example of good hyped project is POS Token. They had free airdrops too. Now their Token cost 1$+-. I think that only devs win in such situations with similiar coins
In my opinion the level of transparency of PoSToken in unquestionable. They showed since first moment the contracts of the dev team for development and the first move they made they told in atecipation the community they would do it.
The only movement they did on their funds was 15k tokens that they sold out of the exchanges to not drive the price down and the funds were for a Coinexchange listing. All the other funds from the dev team are intact and they shared 800k tokens out of 1 million. That is 80% and nothing near what we see in the this DeepOnion in question.
