I learnt my own lesson about some useless use cases in crypto Projects through Airdrop hunting. I have something against the following use cases like
1. Artificial Intelligence projects
2. Gold backed tokens
3. Deflation tokens
Why? They hardly survives because they are mostly based on lies, these use cases are scammers favorite tools to deceive
Yes, you are right if something is built on the basis of honesty and have a product, I am very confident that the project is successful especially if you are familiar and known and supported by a strong team and good management.
