The "short" part of airdrop distribution isn't necessarily a bad thing. At first glance, it may seem like a loss, but from a different perspective—those tokens that ultimately weren't distributed ended up in users' hands. Rather than saying it reduces gains, it's more accurate to say it adjusts the way they are obtained. This kind of mechanism design actually makes the overall distribution more reasonable.

By the way, I feel like this set of logic is a bit of a recursive loop.

Uh... this logic is a bit too optimistic. The undistributed tokens "ultimately flow to users"? That statement needs to be confirmed by the audit report, otherwise it's just Schrödinger's promise. I've seen many projects' "reasonable distribution mechanisms" end up becoming a breeding ground for contract vulnerabilities.

Sounds nice, but it's just the project team wanting to hold some chips.

Haha, this logic is indeed a bit convoluted, but upon closer thought, it actually makes some sense. If you think about it this way, it’s like the crypto world’s "cut losses in time" haha. Can a short position also turn around? Well, we’ll have to see how it develops next. Instead of waiting for a short squeeze, it’s better to get in early—that’s the hard truth. That said, the real key is the timing when the funds actually reach the users. I’ve heard this "look at it from a different perspective" so many times... Oh my god, another "distribution optimization" excuse. I’m tired of hearing this phrase. I agree, it’s actually more fair and doesn’t cut into beginners as much.
