StandX isn’t issuing a token, and here’s what you might think: This project team is so kind. Even though they’re not issuing a token, at least they didn’t drop one last-minute just to cash out. Plus, they issued stablecoins instead—what a conscientious project team. Reality check: Bro, do you really think issuing a token doesn’t cost anything? Just going through gate, kucoin, mexc with their little combo moves costs $50-60K USDT, and that’s not even counting the funds needed to hire market makers. After issuing a token, whether it opens high and drops low or opens low and climbs high, if it opens high, the airdropped tokens will crash the price. If it opens low, I won’t even have money to pump it myself. Even if we skip centralized exchanges and go straight to DEX, we’d still need real money to add liquidity. And once that liquidity is added, the airdropped users will dump hard, leaving no way to explain things to investors. So, might as well go all in or not at all—forget issuing a token altogether. Just hand out some USDD coupons and announce Game Over. Transaction fees can cover operational costs, and we’ll send a little money back to private investors behind the scenes. That’s the end of the story. And you, my friend, once again, you’re the one footing the bill for this feast.
