What do you mean by special recognition?
Edit out
one thing you should know is that people don't just ask questions for asking sake they always have reasons for asking questions, I believe you read through source provided by the landDAO representative and you understood the benefits of those who Will join the whitelist? What if I decide not to join the whitelist doesn't mean that I we not have any benefit from landDAO, rather than just been a mere Investor? this is my question, maybe your misunderstood my first post because I use special recognition.
From my own view, the LandDao team wants everyone possibly to be a part of the white list and that’s why they made it open to the public and those who truly believe in their core goals and visions will queue into it just like with the case of bitcoin, a lot of people knew about it when it was barely nothing but didn’t believe in it but look at bitcoin today, and same thing now applies to LandDao if I’m not wrong, so rather than being bothered about missing out, you should focus more energy of how to possibly be a part of this white list.
Projects are all open to investors irrespective of the position or state of development. Teams always make sure they make the project accessible for all who could afford the investment to get whitelisted early enough so that no one would be left out of the investment phase but that does not mean that categories of investors would be left out.
This is why I believe the LandDao team would be at their utmost best to make sure the token is available in the market for investors to have their own quota through sales and this is only when they get whitelisted at the earliest stage.
