Hi all. Just wondering why the deeponion team chose the airdrop method over an ICO. I'm guessing since the coins are premined, the team has allocated itself some of those coins and is using airdrops to distribute the other coins (because they don't need to raise money for development) and then as the project solidify and more people become interested, demand for the coins will grow (and the airdrop period will have ended), holders of airdropped coins will sell them on exchanges and the price will start rising, which will make the coins held by the team more valuable and they can recoup their investment. Is this analysis correct?

Also, are there projects out there that have skipped ICOs, mining (like bitcoin), airdrops, crowd donations and simply listed their coins on exchanges? Does doing that make any sense?
