i agree we will need to agree to disagree. the drop was not out of the blue, it was announced and spoken about in several posts that aggroed and minnowsupport released.

these extra tokens were not rewarded to stakeholders, but to PAL moderators and developers heavily invested in the community, people who have done an overwhelming amount of work the last 2 years and will continue to do so over the next year.

tokens are dependent on the success of the community, and are a fair form of renumeration for work done. tokens can lose value as easily as they earn value.

would it be smarter to sell tokens to the highest bidder, and have pal "whales" who do not have the best interests of the community in mind but only want to make money and leverage control of the vote? how was giving tokens to people who have proven their loyalty and dedication to PAL unfair?

how else could it have be minimized? well, lets say by not using the topic as click bait for a post, creating distrust and negativity about the "lack of transparency", mentioning the possibility of "exit scam" to induce more fear, then not even discussing the facts but instead veering off to talk about why we should all invest regardless? such fear mongering has no place in a platform that we are trying to introduce to new investors.
