    How does it not? This isn’t a fucking debate. How would artificially bloating the number of tokens they sell not help their bottom line?

      Because they currently lose money for every token sold. They’re operating at a loss to generate a userbase so that they can monetize later. They’re currently in the pre-enshittification (I still don’t like that word) phase where they want to offer a good product at a loss and lure in customers, not phase 2 where they monetize their userbase.

        and? How do you not understand that more money is better for them even if they’re not in the black, yet?

        Two things can be true at once.

          Creating additional tokens LOSES them money. For a single token, the cost of generating it exceeds the profits.

          I genuinely don’t understand what would drive someone to be this condescending when you don’t even understand the argument I have clearly laid out four times now.
