It's not an actual "community" if the people in the group are merely there to profit and take advantage of other people. I believe that if Bitcoin had that sort of culture, it would never be as massive as it currently is. It would probably still exist, but as something that would be avoided because of the losses many people have experienced when they bought and held it. There would be no HODL culture, plus maybe the Core Developers would probably get disinterested?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes, they are traders who consider themselves a community Grin

. It's really difficult to hold, even for those who launch tokens via airdrop, most of they receive is a dump during distribution. The reason, as you mentioned, is the concern that long-term holding of the acquired tokens will become unsold, or that the dev team will discontinue the project due to lost interest, and the lack of community support for post-distribution follow-up. Indeed, not all those who sell airdrop tokens are worried about the sustainability of the tokens, some also have financial problems which ultimately lead to selling after holding for a long time. but, for buying from ICO, IEO etc, buyers should be aware not to sell early in the listing as a support. However, the large number of failed projects in the first year has meant that the majority of successful token sales failed to survive.

Those people couldn't also call themselves actual "traders" either because they don't have a track-record that proves that they're profitable after multiple cycles. They're mere plebs, just like us.

Although, there are those people who has, and WILL, make it rich by participating in different sorts of "ICO, IEO, STO, IDO" - the actual point is still the same. It's not a real community.
