【Crypto World】Mad Lads project team recently issued an important statement through official channels, explicitly stating that NFT holders will not receive Backpack airdrops—neither now nor in the future.

This stance actually reflects a real issue. As the NFT market heats up, community expectations for potential airdrops are also rising, and some have become overly enthusiastic. The project’s announcement this time is, to some extent, a “reality check” for the community.

Mad Lads’s attitude is very clear: rather than impatiently expecting airdrop benefits, it is better to focus on the project’s long-term value building. This perspective also has implications for the entire NFT ecosystem—truly worthwhile projects often require the community to shift from profit expectations to ecological contribution.

Here comes another reality check, the airdrop dream is shattered --- Honestly, I actually have a bit more respect for this attitude, much better than those teasing projects --- Wait, so all my free riding for so long was just for ecosystem contribution? LOL --- The key is that saying it this way might actually help you survive longer, do you understand what long-termism means --- Alright, alright, let's just pretend we never thought about the airdrop --- Honesty is indeed valuable, at least more reliable than false promises --- Now let's see who still has the face to only care about airdrops and not the ecosystem

Haha, airdrop dreams shattered, still relying on HODL and faith By the way, this wave of slapping those who wait around every day, I knew it would turn out like this Mad Lads' move is quite clear-headed, much better than those projects with false promises Honestly, does anyone really believe in airdrops? Wake up, everyone Long-term development > short-term airdrops, finally a project dares to say it directly This is the true spirit of gm, but most people just can't hear it The hope for airdrops should have been shattered long ago, too many people got chopped up because of this idea Looks like I need to change the bad habit of chasing short-term concepts and focus on building the community

Haha, finally someone dares to tell the truth. The airdrop dream should wake up. --- That's why I look down on those who squat for airdrops every day. Mad Lads, I respect this move. --- Instead of fantasizing about airdrops, it's better to study the ecosystem carefully, but who would really do that? --- You're right, but the community won't listen. Anyway, I don't believe it. --- The reality is that most people just want to make quick money. Long-term development? Haha. --- Every time these statements are made, they slap a bunch of people in the face, and then new rookies come to take over. --- Still the same saying, without利益驱动, no one will sincerely build any ecosystem. --- Mad Lads' move is actually to stabilize confidence. Smart people understand the underlying meaning. --- Here we go again, every project talks about long-term value, but what’s the result?

Haha, finally a project dares to speak directly, so everyone can stop dreaming. Airdrop anticipation syndrome really needs to be cured; the entire ecosystem has been poisoned by it. Mad Lads' move is actually clearing out the deadwood, leaving behind those who truly want to build, and scattering those just looking to get rich. This is the healthy attitude a project should have—building an ecosystem is more valuable than issuing tokens. But to be fair, if you're willing to confront the community like this, the project itself must really have something. Ecosystem development > airdrop hype; this is not hard to understand, but the real challenge is actually executing it.

Haha, another airdrop dream shattered, this time no one can buy the dip to save me --- A thousand gold can't buy early knowledge, I should have recognized the reality earlier --- Wait, the promised long-term value building... where is my liquidation price --- Community mindset shift? Bro, I've already been liquidated to the point of mental breakdown --- Really? Is this the reality check of web3? Where is my principal --- Damn, got cut again, this time I don't even have the hope of an airdrop --- I'm wondering how I ended up in a situation where I have to listen to project teams explain --- And ecological contribution? First, return my liquidation recovery funds --- Alright, risk control points + long-term development, sounds like an excuse for losing money --- No, this is called "reality check"? My borrowing rate is the real situation

Damn, another airdrop dream shattered... This is my fate. Wait, they talk about long-term ecosystem development? Bro, I've heard this spiel way too many times. And the result? The community keeps getting colder and quieter. But to be fair, Mad Lads' move this time is actually pretty honest, at least they’re not lying... Much better than those projects that promise airdrops every day. What’s wrong? Now the trend is to give up passive income and switch to actively arbitraging? Fine, I accept it.
